New ZR-1 Firmware v1.2 has been released. The new firmware introduces the following features:

• The POWER OFF button has to be pressed for at least 3 seconds to turn off the device. This improvement protects user from unexpected and unwanted shutdown.
• Stopping the recording process is signalized by the blinking red REC LED light. It informs user about processing of the latest recording.
• General improvements and minor bugs fixes for better stability of the whole system.

ZR-1 firmware upgrade procedure

The ZR-1 firmware can be updated with specially prepared files provided by ZYLIA. To perform the firmware update, the user is required to upload the provided update files to a USB flash drive. The procedure is as follows:

1. Download the bin from the link provided by ZYLIA.
2. Upload the provided file to a USB flash drive with FAT32 file system and at least 4GB of free space.
3. It is recommended that during the update procedure the ZR-1 should be connected to the external power adapter supplying 5V at 2.5A. The device should be also turned off.
4. Remove the SD Card from the slot and connect the USB flash drive to the ZR-1 USB socket.
5. Turn on the device while simultaneous pressing and holding PLAY and REC buttons. Release the buttons after around 5 seconds and wait until REC, SD CARD and GAIN LEDs light up. After the three LEDs turn off, ON/OFF LED will change the color to purple indicating that the firmware update process has started.
6. The process may last around 5 minutes. When the update ends, the ZR-1 will power off by itself.
7. Now you can turn your ZR-1 recorder on.

To support the creativity of musicians who are our current and future users, in the last few months we have focused on providing an even more user-friendly version of our well-known ZYLIA Studio software.

​A lot has changed In the newest version of ZYLIA Studio, let’s start with big things: 

We are happy to announce the release of the ZYLIA ZM-1 driver for macOS. From now on, all macOS system versions will be handled by a single installer. This is not the only improvement. Users with macOS 10.15 now are carefully walked through the installation process in order to make sure that the ZM-1 driver is loaded properly. The driver itself has also been improved. We fixed a minor bug related to LED light control and handling audio devices by Google Chrome.

We proudly announce a new release of the ZYLIA ZM-1 Driver for macOS v2.6.0 with full support for macOS 10.15 Catalina.

From now on all of the ZYLIA applications can operate on the latest version of the macOS system.

We are happy to announce the new release of ZYLIA Studio v1.10.1. This time we are introducing some bug fixes and small improvements.

Improvements:

• VU Meter labels in Remote Control window are now more readable on mobile devices.

We are happy to inform about the new release of the ZYLIA ZM-1 driver for macOS v2.5.0 with ZYLIA Control Panel application.

 The new software gives you the possibility to:

• Adjust the master gain of your ZM-1 microphone;
• Adjust the brightness of the LED light;
• Display detailed information about your ZYLIA ZM-1, such as serial number and firmware version;
• Generate Support Data packages, which can be really helpful to our Support Team when assisting you regarding ZM-1 usage;
• Update your ZM-1 firmware.

ZYLIA Control Panel can now select the specific firmware upgrade patch based on your ZM-1 serial number. This patch includes a unique set of gain coefficients, which are applied to each acoustic sensor of your ZM-1. Thanks to this, it is possible to lower the sensitivity differences among the sensors down to +/- 0.1 dB. This results in higher performance of the sound source separation algorithms applied in ZYLIA Studio and ZYLIA Studio PRO, and higher precision of A2B conversion in ZYLIA Ambisonics Converter.
