Details
Controls: Routing recalled via PATCH APP software; no other hardware controls detailed
I/O: 24x24 analog routing matrix via rear DB25/D-Sub (Tascam pinout) connectors; 1x front-panel combo XLR/TRS input and 1x front XLR output; USB 2.0 (USB-A to USB-B, cable included) control via PATCH APP / PATCH APP DX software (macOS, Windows, iOS); fanless internal design with fully PCB-mounted connectors/switches to reduce cost; compatible with the Flock CX module for tracking gain
Notes: FLAGGED: device_class='Install Processor' per task instruction (closest enum fit; no dedicated Patchbay leaf). analog_or_digital='analog' (100% analog, relay-based, no AD/DA, explicitly stated); digital_control='true' (routing recalled via USB + PATCH APP). connection_bus left blank per instructions. Matrix size is 48 total points (24x24), smallest current PATCH model. Explicitly flagged: unlike other current PATCH models, PATCH se has NO phantom power (cost-reduction/feature-reduction vs. the 'PATCH Pro Series') -- this is a deliberate spec difference, not a missing-data gap. FLAGGED AVAILABILITY: PATCH se was announced at NAMM 2026 and is in pre-order status with shipping estimated to begin June 2026; Flock's own 'Buy' page shows it as currently 'Out of Stock' at $999, suggesting initial pre-order stock has already sold through as of this research -- treat as a very recently launched / high-demand model rather than a long-established one. price_usd=$999 is Flock's own stated retail price, consistent across press coverage and retailers. country_of_manufacture=Canada per company-level sourcing (Kelowna, BC), not stated verbatim on this page.
