Patch VT features 128-point connections (64 I/O) in a 3 RU chassis. It includes 32 assignable independent channels of 48V phantom power, 16 DB-25/D-SUB Tascam standard pinout format connectors on the rear panel for connectivity plus two Inputs and two Outputs on the front panel on combination TRS/XLR connectors.
Flock will also debut CX, a new standalone hardware module that delivers eight channels of transparent boosting of mic and line-level signals to ensure their interoperability with the +4-line level standard of the Patch Series. CX offers eight mic/instrument inputs on XLR/TRS connectors with eight independent channels of phantom power and eight line-level outputs on DB-25/D-SUB Connectors
“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,” Nakonechny says.
