The Flock Audio PATCH se is a 48 point digitally controlled analogue patchbay that provides 24 balanced analogue inputs and 24 balanced analogue outputs via rear mounted DB25 Tascam standard connectors, delivering fully transparent analogue signal routing, instant recallable routing control and zero latency analogue signal management in a compact 1U rack format. Overview Flock Audio PATCH se delivers the same multi patented digitally controlled analogue matrix technology used throughout the PATCH Series range while introducing a streamlined feature set that focuses entirely on professional +4 dBu line level routing. The unit removes non essential circuitry while preserving routing precision, sonic transparency and recallable control through PATCH App and PATCH App DX for macOS, Windows and iOS. PATCH se provides a modern alternative to traditional patchbays by allowing engineers to create, save and instantly recall complex routing configurations without physical repatching, without conversion stages and without latency. The routing engine maintains consistent impedance and signal integrity across every connection. Design and Construction PATCH se uses a refined 1U rackmount chassis that supports passive ventilation, eliminating fans and mechanical noise while improving long term reliability. The rear panel hosts all primary analogue I O through balanced DB25 connectors wired to the Tascam standard, ensuring compatibility with professional studio looms. The unit introduces a cost efficient external power supply and a simplified power architecture that improves manufacturing consistency and long term serviceability. Fully PCB mounted connectors and switching components improve electrical consistency and reduce internal wiring complexity while preserving mechanical stability. Routing Technology PATCH se employs Flock Audio’s multi patented digitally controlled analogue matrix that provides instantaneous signal path switching with no level change, no impedance change and no audio degradation. The routing engine supports multing, parallel routing and complex signal distribution while preserving full analogue signal integrity. Users can create, store and recall routing configurations in seconds using PATCH App and PATCH App DX, transforming the unit into a recallable analogue routing hub for hybrid studios, mixing rooms and production facilities. Connectivity and Expansion PATCH se provides 48 analogue routing points through 24 balanced inputs and 24 balanced outputs via DB25 connectors on the rear panel. The front panel includes a combination TRS XLR input and a dedicated XLR output for fast access to microphones, instruments or monitoring feeds. PATCH se supports expansion with up to ten PATCH Series units of any model, enabling scalable analogue routing systems that grow with studio requirements. Software Control PATCH se integrates fully with PATCH App and PATCH App DX on macOS, Windows and iOS, allowing users to visually design routing layouts, label connections, create routing presets and recall complete signal flow maps instantly. The software provides precise digital control of analogue signal paths without introducing conversion stages or latency. Why Choose Flock Audio PATCH se Creates instant recallable routing workflows that replace time consuming manual repatching Preserves full analogue signal integrity without adding latency or conversion stages Allows engineers to maintain consistent session recall across multiple rooms Reduces studio wiring complexity while improving operational speed Supports scalable expansion for growing studio environments Delivers professional analogue routing at an accessible system cost
