Details
Controls: Single multi-purpose front-panel LED indicator and switch; primary control/recall via PATCH APP software over USB or Ethernet
I/O: 96x96 analog routing matrix via rear DB25/D-Sub (Tascam pinout) female connectors; front-panel 2x combo XLR/TRS inputs and 2x XLR outputs for at-a-glance patching of anything in the matrix; control via USB 2.0 (locking connector, cable included) or optional CAT5 Ethernet network connection; internal 110V/220V power supply
Notes: FLAGGED: device_class='Install Processor' per task instruction (closest enum fit; no dedicated Patchbay/Router leaf). analog_or_digital='analog' (100% analog, no AD/DA conversion, explicitly stated); digital_control='true' (routing recalled via USB or optional Ethernet + PATCH APP software -- this is Flock's flagship, largest matrix). connection_bus left blank per instructions; USB/Ethernet control noted in io_summary instead. Matrix size is the largest in the lineup: 192 total points (96x96). Optional 'XTH Cable Hanger' accessory exists for this unit but is a non-audio cable-management accessory and is therefore OUT OF SCOPE / excluded per task instructions. Reported unit weight varies across third-party retailers (26 lbs to 35 lbs) with no single authoritative figure on Flock's own site, so weight was omitted rather than guessed. price_usd = current Flock 'Buy' page price, cross-verified against Sweetwater ($12,999); some international/distributor pricing (e.g. ex-VAT EU pricing ~$17,122) was excluded as non-USD-MSRP noise. year_intro=2020 based on NAMM 2020 announcement per trade press. country_of_manufacture=Canada per company-level sourcing (Kelowna, BC), not stated verbatim on this page.
