Flock Audio to Debut New 128-Point PATCH Series Model PATCH VT and 8-Channel Mic and Instrument Line Boost Module CX at NAMM 2023

Anaheim, California, March 30, 2023— Flock Audio [NAMM Booth 16128]—a Canadian manufacturer specializing in total hardware control and best known for their PATCH Series digitally controlled analog patchbays—has announced that it will showcase two new products at its booth at the NAMM show [Booth 16128]. These include the latest entry in its PATCH Series, PATCH VT—which features 128-point connections in a 3 RU chassis—and CX, a new standalone hardware module that delivers 8-channels of transparent boosting of mic and line-level signals to ensure their interoperability with the +4-line level standard of the PATCH Series.

“We’re excited to expand the PATCH Series with PATCH VT, which we envision enabling current and prospective users and integrators to more precisely specify the right PATCH for their connectivity needs,” says Flock Audio founder and CEO Darren Nakonechny. “CX represents a new type of product for Flock, bolstering the link between microphone and instrument level inputs and PATCH Series routing in a way that preserves the low signal-to-noise performance possible within the +4-line level PATCH ecosystem. Auditioning microphone preamps and DIs or multing incoming mic or instrument signals will become easier and better-sounding than ever, enhancing the PATCH Series’ existing functionality.”
