Flock Audio Patch VT 128-point Digitally Controlled Analog Patchbay
The Flock Audio Patch VT is a digitally controlled analog patchbay with hardware and software components that allow you to control equipment chain routings throughout your studio with flexibility and recall capabilities never before possible — no patch cables required! The hardware consists of a 128-point analog patchbay in a rugged 3U chassis with I/O arranged on rear-panel DB-25 connectors. Control over patchbay assignments and routings is carried out from either the Patch App or the Patch App DX, easy-to-use Mac/Windows or iOS software that communicates with the patchbay via USB. In Patch VT, no audio is ever converted to digital — all channels running through it remain in the analog domain and only the patchbay routings are altered digitally. Patch VT gives you the advantages of both worlds — pure analog audio with fully digital, computer-based control. This allows Patch App and Patch App DX routings to be instantly stored and recalled.
Front-panel connectors and 32 channels of phantom power
The Patch VT hardware offers a few cool extras. Two input and output connectors, Channels 1 and 2, are located on front-panel 1/4-inch-XLR combi connectors, so you can instantly patch equipment into your system. These are swappable in software between front and rear panel connectors. And up to 32 of the Patch VT’s connections can supply switchable 48V phantom power for microphones that require it. All of this — and more — is controlled through Flock Audio’s companions Patch App or Patch App DX.
Control analog audio routings right from your computer or iOS devices
Engineers here know that your studio patching system is a make-or-break proposition that can either streamline or tie your workflow up in knots. Elegantly designed, finely tuned, and intuitively powerful, both the Patch App and Patch App DX bring the simplicity of drag-and-drop functionality — along with patch storage, full recall, and advanced multing capabilities — to the world of analog audio routing. The Flock Audio Patch App and Patch App DX let you accomplish basic or complex analog audio routings in seconds, with Patch App DX bringing this amazing level of control to your smartphone or tablet as well as offering additional options for color customization, session notes, and more.
