Digitally Controlled Analog Patching — Simplified
Distilling the Flock Audio’s Patch experience into a streamlined, focused design, Patch se is a 48-point, digitally controlled, fully analog patchbay designed to meet the unique needs of modern studios, creators, and engineers. Patch se provides you with 24 bidirectional channels of analog I/O on DB-25 connectors, along with one combo TRS/XLR input and one XLR output on the front panel. The system consists of a robust 1U rackmount chassis working in concert with the Patch app, allowing you to route analog audio without physical patch cables, which can degrade audio over time due to oxidation if not regularly maintained. In addition, environmental pollution creates dust and dirt buildup in physical patchbays, causing problems for users without access to regular maintenance engineering staff. These issues have plagued operators since the invention of the telegraph in the 19th century, but the Flock Audio Patch se circumvents them to deliver pristine analog audio, routed anywhere you need it.
Fast, efficient patching without audio degradation
Live sound engineers at Sweetwater find the Patch app extremely user-friendly because it graphically represents audio signal flows in a familiar, logical, top-to-bottom fashion. Signal flows are divvied up into single vertical columns, allowing you to drag and drop available analog audio equipment connected to the Patch hardware unit. The Patch hardware component acts as the hub of your audio processing setup, with connected analog audio gear cataloged in the Hardware Index located on the left side of the Patch app window. Employing digital control over analog audio signal routing is what makes Patch se unique and unlike any other signal routing system available today. Put it through the paces on your next live show, and you’ll never look back.
