Flock Audio has announced that the new PATCH VT, the latest entry in its series of digitally controlled analog patch bays for studio and live sound applications that was initially announced at the 2023 NAMM show earlier this year, is now shipping.
PATCH VT offers 128-point connections – 64 inputs x 64 outputs – in a 3U rack-mount chassis that also includes many of the features available in Flock’s largest I/O model, PATCH XT.
“The PATCH series was designed from the onset to give users complete control of all of their analog signal processing in a convenient and user-friendly way that would offer the best of both worlds of analog sound quality and digital workflow convenience,” says Flock Audio founder and CEO Darren Nakonechny. “By expanding the range with PATCH VT, our users now have even more options in the series to build a system that suits their needs whether it’s in the recording studio or in a live sound application.”
