PRODUCT DETAILS
2 COMBO INPUTS & 2 XLR OUTPUTS
The PATCH VT System comes equipped with 4 Connectors housed in the front panel of the system. 2 - Inputs (XLR/TRS Combo jacks) and 2 - XLR Output jacks. These front panel connectors allow a user quickly & easily integrate outside audio equipment or instruments into your recording setup. The front panel connection points are optional use and can be activated/deactivated via using the Flock Audio PATCH APP. The 2 - Inputs (XLR/TRS) are also capable of powering 48v microphones.
USB-A TO USB-B CONTROL
The PATCH VT System uses very little CPU processing power to send and receive commands from the hardware. Because of the minimal amount of processing required, the PATCH VT System works off a USB 2.0 and on-wards compatibility. The design was chosen for a low CPU usage so you can have your system processing working harder for your Interface & DAW rather then devoting a large amount of that processing to routing your analog audio equipment.
DB25 REAR CONNECTIONS
DB-25's/D-Subs create a clean, simple and organized form of connections to the rear chassis of PATCH VT . Utilizing the standard Tascam Wiring Pinout schematic, any DB-25/D-Sub cable following this wiring format will work seamlessly with your system. For additional flexibility we've added the feature that Inputs & Outputs (63 - 64) will flip from the rear side of the chassis to the front when activated in the PATCH APP. This allows a user to quickly audition other outside audio equipment without disconnecting any already designated hardware connected to the PATCH VT System.
MULTI-PATCH UNIT EXPANSION
Connect Multiple PATCH VT Systems together for Expanded I/O Routing Capabilities. When we said 100% analog...we meant it. The PATCH VT System has no A/D or D/A conversions built in and with that comes no rules either...meaning connections for audio processing is transferred purely through an analog circuitry no digital. Users can connect multiple PATCH VT Systems together through their existing on-board I/O in many different configurations, whether you do equal Sends & Returns, maybe more sends than returns or even as little or as many connections between units as you require for your analog configurations. Control these D.A.P's (Digital Analog Passes) right from the PATCH APP, simply drag & drop a Digital Analog Pass in place of your desired signal flow in the App to move your activate signal from one PATCH VT Unit to the next. Every analog signal coming in or out remains purely Analog getting the most of out of your PATCH VT Routing system. However, each studio is as unique as its audio engineer, so don't let us tell you how to configure your PATCH VT setup... you're going to tell us.
UP IN SMOKE? NOPE.
Built behind the scenes of the PATCH VT System is a fully integrated diagnostic monitoring system to ensure your PATCH VT is running like new under the hood. Because of the complex architecture in each PATCH VT System, we felt it was important to add this internal feature in to maintain the highest quality out of each PATCH VT System. When something becomes the centre piece and hub of your recording studio...you want to know that its working the same as the first day you opened the box and so do we.
