Flock Audio has announced that it will showcase two new products at its booth (#16128) at the upcoming 2023 NAMM Show at the Anaheim Convention Center this April, including the PATCH VT that offers 128-point connections in a 3 RU chassis as well as the CX stand-alone hardware module that delivers eight channels of 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.”
