We just released new firmware for the MC7000. This update brings a number of utility features for advanced microphone control as well as USB level output control for recording. See full list below. Enjoy!
Added Hardware Settings Mode via BACK + PANEL during power up.
Added ability to adjust platter touch sensitivity
Added ability to attenuate microphones
Added ability to adjust microphone talk over level
Added ability to adjust microphone talk over resume speed
Added ability to adjust MIDI command transmission interval time
Added ability to adjust master USB audio output level
This is only useful for slower computers that are riding on the edge of meeting system requirements. Most users will never need to adjust this setting as it offers no benefit.
Thanks for the Update and the new features. installed it. now i wanted to go to the adv. settings but somehow i cannot get it. I did it as it says in the manual. Holding the Back + Panel Button on both Deck and Power up the Denon. Not working. what am I doing wrong???
Hello guys!!Can anyone post some pics or video with how it looks this setup menu after this firmware update on mc7000?I want to see how it works and if deserves to do this update.Thanks!!
When you download it, there is a little pdf inside the zip. The pdf shows you, with images, how it works. I myself was thinking how are these settings going to be changed… but it’s quite clever. Not that i’ll be changing any, it’s good that they’re there and it shows Denons continued support of this unit.
Naughty Denon… All the default seems to have changed.
When i went to use the MIC last night… it was quiet, considerably. Multiple spin backs failed. I guess the sensitivity is touch sensitivity, not platter movement.
I’d like things as they were… Please advise.
The mic i can live with, it’s now turned up but the platters!!!
We added new functionality to your hardware, how is this a bad thing?
The only default that changed after update was the mic attenuation to -10db. Even at this setting there is still plenty of room for additional gain without maxing out the pot.
All default values and instructions to change those values are listed in the included documentation.
Personally, prior to any update, I would educate myself on the changes to see if they beneficial to me then I would test everything prior to my event.
“Naughty Denon” was used in humour, no harm done, it was a funny experience. Had I known the default had changed, I’d of attacked it much more vigorously. Usually we have to turn it a few mm during an event and at the time I thought it was that. As we get used to our rough settings I was only turning it very slightly, then the shock hit, confusion. Quite like going up the stairs (or down them) and there’s that extra step (or step that isn’t there).
“I would educate myself” Yes, I was the same person above mentioning the drop on Friday, for that very reason. I did actually wait. Take this as customer feedback. A heads up, “warning! new default settings” could be in the doc.
“are listed in the included doc” Yes, i was the same person above mentioning that doc to another user, i have read it. I’m actually in praise of these upgrades, see the post before. They’re strongly welcomed by me.
Paradoxical. No need to roll back, downgrade. I don’t have a problem with the new features, I want them. My “I’d like things as they were” was a badly worded question to where I need to set the touch sensitivity to have the same as the original firmware. The new default doesn’t respond to my touch.
Kradcliffe. Yes, I welcome the mics new default. My only issue is, no mention of the defaults changing, in the log, post or instructions. Even though default is mentioned in the instruction.
Ahh I gotcha! It can be difficult to pickup the tone of a written response. My apologies, I shouldn’t have jumped to the conclusion that your comment was negative.
Thanks for your feedback. There is always room for improvement
