For optimal performance, always run the latest firmware in your AMPLIFi amplifier. Your AMPLIFi Remote application will inform you whenever a firmware update is available, so you’ll always know you have the latest version!

While a firmware update is possible via your iOS or Android device, completion may take up to one hour due to the limited connectivity speed of Bluetooth. We highly recommend using the Line 6 Updater application for Mac and Windows computers (available from http://line6.com/software). It is a free download, contains all instructions for successful firmware updates, and best of all, completes the update in just a few minutes.
