Installation steps:

1. Download the firmware
2. Remove any previous GLD Firmware from your USB key. Plug a USB key into your computer. If you have previous GLD firmware already on your key, look in its AllenHeathGLD folder and delete the existing Firmware directory and also the Firmware.md5 file in the AllenHeathGLD folder. Do not delete the other directories.
3. Open and extract the Zip file to your USB key. Open up the zip file you have just downloaded. Extract all files to the root directory of your USB key. Once the extraction is complete check that a new Firmware directory has appeared under the AllenHeathGLD folder on your USB key. You may need to refresh the AllenHeathGLD folder to see this.
Note: Do not change the folder name or browse inside the Firmware folder as doing this may cause firmware corruption. Attempting to navigate or open files within this directory may cause your Operating System to leave behind small temporary system files which can invalidate your firmware.
4. Safely remove the USB key from your computer. Click on the ‘safely remove hardware’ icon, in the bottom right of your screen to safely remove your USB key.
5. Plug the key into a USB port on the GLD. Plug your USB key into either one of the USB ports on the GLD. Go to the Setup / Utility / Firmware screen and touch Update. This will then detect your USB key and validate the firmware contents.
6. Perform the update. Touch the Update button. Do not interrupt this process. When the firmware has been successfully installed, touch the Reboot button. The GLD will reboot with the new firmware installed. Any AudioRacks currently connected or connected later to the GLD will have their firmware automatically updated by the GLD during the boot process.
7. Recall your settings. Recall a Template Show or the User Show you saved before the update to restore your settings. 

About DJ Mixers Updates:

Updating the mixer's firmware version can add support for newly developed features (or improve existing ones), enhance audio quality and transition effects, resolve different problems such as those regarding various noises heard in certain situations, and many other related improvements.

However, before downloading this package, go to the unit's system information and make sure that the currently installed firmware isn't either newer or matches this release. Moreover, you should know that an update failure might seriously damage the mixer's software, so it is vital that you are familiar with the installation steps.

As for applying this release, you must transfer the downloadable package (or its content) to the mixer via any available methods, and power up the unit through various key combinations in order to enter update mode (make sure you read the product's user guide).

This said, if you consider installing this release and you're positive you have all the knowledge you need for a successful upgrade, download the package, and apply it to your mixer. Check with our website constantly so that you don't miss any update that can improve your device.

  It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available.

Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver. This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.
