The Flock Audio PATCH VT is a digitally controlled, all-analogue routing system designed for advanced studio setups that demand high headroom and pristine signal integrity. Built around Flock Audio’s patented Matrix Technology, the PATCH VT introduces a unique vacuum tube colouration option into its signal path, giving users the choice between clean transparency or warm, harmonically rich analogue tone, all without any AD/DA conversion. This makes it ideal for hybrid setups looking to incorporate character while maintaining full signal fidelity.
Flock Audio PATCH VT features 64-point I/O (32 inputs and 32 outputs) via standard Tascam DB-25 connectors, along with a front panel equipped with two combo TRS/XLR inputs and two XLR outputs for fast and flexible integration of instruments or outboard gear. The front inputs also support switchable 48V phantom power. At the core of its design is a vacuum tube stage that can be engaged or bypassed as needed, adding subtle saturation and colour to your signal chain while maintaining a fully balanced and transparent analogue path when disengaged.
Users can create, store, and instantly recall complex routings through the intuitive PATCH APP, available for macOS and Windows, with an iPad version on the way. The system supports complex multing with no impedance issues and is fully expandable with other PATCH Series units, including the LT, XT, and original models. The Flock Audio PATCH VT also incorporates onboard diagnostics for consistent performance and long-term reliability. Designed for professionals who want flexibility without compromising sonic quality, Flock Audio PATCH VT represents a new evolution in analogue routing with the added option of tube-driven warmth.
