It's not clear to me whether the software is updated from v2.0, or it's just the mic that's new. Can someone clarify?

Its interesting cause I can't find an upgrade option for 2.0 users so maybe its inferred.

Not gonna get excited. It doesn't make clear if the new mic will give better results than the old mic under normal conditions, and it doesn't mention any improvements to the software. Anyway, I'm quite happy with ARC 2, it does what it says on the tin....

does this imply that you have to use the new MEMS mic to work with the new 2.5 version,
or can you use the current mic?
