Sound Devices has released the Astral Wireless v8.10 firmware update. This update is built for all A20 model transmitters and receivers, and firmware revision numbers will now be aligned across all Astral Wireless products.

Included in this update is support for AstralComm: an integration feature for control of DiGiCo console macros directly from Astral Wireless products.

- Fixed an issue where A20-Mini’s timecode would drift.
- Fixed an issue where TC LED may inadvertently start flashing after being powered down for several hours.
