Flock Audio PATCH SE: Professional 48-point analog routing

Flock Audio PATCH SE is a digitally controlled analog patchbay designed to make studio routing faster, more flexible, and fully recallable. The system provides 48 switching points—divided into 24 balanced inputs and 24 balanced outputs—via rear DB25 connectors compliant with the Tascam standard. PATCH SE utilizes the multi-patented digitally controlled analog matrix technology developed by Flock Audio for the PATCH series. The signal remains in the analog domain, without AD/DA conversions, offering zero-latency routing and preserving the integrity of the audio path.

Digital Control of the Patchbay with the PATCH App

Integration with the PATCH App and PATCH App DX allows you to manage routing directly from macOS, Windows, and iOS. Configurations can be created, saved, and recalled, simplifying the transition between different sessions, setups, and processing chains. The routing engine also supports advanced configurations such as multing, parallel routing, and signal distribution to multiple destinations. A single signal can thus be sent simultaneously to multiple outputs, expanding the possibilities for integrating analog outboard gear into the studio workflow.

PATCH SE for Recording Studios and Hybrid Setups

Flock Audio PATCH SE is designed for producers, sound engineers, project studios, boutique studios, and facilities that want to combine the flexibility of digital control with a fully analog signal path. The ability to save and recall complex configurations makes the system particularly well-suited for studios that use external hardware and need to quickly modify the signal path without manually adjusting a traditional patchbay.

Recallable analog routing for professional workflows

Digital management allows you to organize different processing and routing chains while maintaining a centralized approach. PATCH SE thus enables you to integrate analog processors and other studio equipment into recallable configurations, reducing the manual operations required during recording, mixing, and production.

1U fanless design and DB25 connections

The fanless 1U rack chassis eliminates the need for fans and, consequently, the associated mechanical noise. The architecture uses an external power supply, while connectors and components are mounted on a PCB to ensure electrical and mechanical stability. The front panel also features a TRS/XLR combo input and a dedicated XLR output, which provide quick access to the system without having to access the rear DB25 connectors.

A compact and expandable Flock Audio patchbay

PATCH SE brings the technology of the PATCH series to a streamlined solution designed to offer professional analog routing and digital control in a compact format. The system can also be expanded by integrating up to 10 units from the PATCH series, allowing you to adapt the routing infrastructure as your studio grows.
