Just a question from me, is there a 3.4.0 version for users of none BT hardware? I canā€™t see it as available in the update screen on my Prime 2?

Over the air updates are usually a bit delayed. If you want to update now best method is the download from enginedj.com (link in original post above)

Note that Prime 2, Prime 4 and SC5000 donā€™t have Bluetooth enabled

Ah thanks Addie, I will be patient in this instance :slight_smile:

Amazing news Denon crew :tada::tada::tada: Looking forward to give it a blast, and with wifi its not a ā€œmust-haveā€ with that Bluetooth for me.

Its a Nice to have - absolutely, but if the net is strong enough to stream a track, its also strong enough to just use the phone as a hotspot and load from Tidal.

Good job devs. :muscle:

for the Prime 2 there is the possibility of downloading it but Iā€™m afraid of creating problems for my unit

There might be fixes applied that are relevant.

See it like an iOS update. They release the same OS but some phones donā€™t have all the hardware features.

You can still download earlier versions from the download page so if you do, just roll back to 3.3.0 or whatever is your preferred version.

Yes but what about prime 4 and 2, The bt chip inside is for decoration only?

Taken from Instagram in response to a question about the SC-5000.

ā€œUnderstandable question. We found that the SC5000ā€™s earlier bluetooth chip didnā€™t work as well and couldnā€™t provide a consistent quality experience, so it was not included in the update. Thanks!ā€

Edit: and about the P4

ā€œThe Prime 4ā€™s earlier bluetooth chip didnā€™t work very well and since It didnā€™t provide a consistent quality experience, it was not included.ā€

Good. That means we donā€™t have to think up excuses about why we wonā€™t play some ahit music that every plonker has on their phone and waves at the dj booth

There is that lolā€¦ im the only ā€˜non-vinylā€™ DJ in my little team of 3 and I have extreme jealousy for the other two when they get requests and just point at their record bag and say ā€˜nah mate, thats all I haveā€™

What this update really does is solve a bigger problem for Numark Mixstream Pro users! So rejoice! : )

Update 3.4, I translate for Prime 4 owners : "Since years youā€™ve been told there was a bluetooth chip on your Prime and you were hopelessly waiting for the " activation update " ? NOW ! Take it DEEP in your ahss and above all give us your money, buy a Prime 4 + on the wich stems will never work because ā€œchip didnā€™t work as wellā€ :joy: Incredibleā€¦
