All Physical Cable Connections must be properly connected in
order to confirm proper signal flow and functionality of the
PATCH System.

The PATCH Series models are all a +4 Professional Line Level Design. When
connecting Microphones directly to the PATCH Series Hardware, Standard Audio
Engineering Practices should be exercised such as the understanding that mixing
Signal Levels may or may not exhibit audio level &/or electronic noise floor artifacts.
If undesired results are experienced when connecting Microphones directly to the
PATCH Series, it is recommend to have a dB Booster or Transparent Preamp
between the Microphone and PATCH Model Connection (I.E. Mic -> Pre/dB
Booster -> PATCH) to achieve the best possible audio signal levels for routing.

INPUTS & OUTPUTS ON THE REAR PANEL OF THE PATCH SYSTEM ARE
SEPARATELY DESIGNATED. YOU CANNOT USE AN OUTPUT AS AN
INPUT OR VICE VERSA. PLEASE ENSURE TO AVOID RISK OR DAMAGE
TO THE PATCH SYSTEM OR OTHER EXTERNAL HARDWARE THAT IS
CONNECTED THAT YOU MAKE THE PROPER CONNECTIONS
ACCORDINGLY.

Hardware Setup Menu
Hardware Setup Menu Labelling should show as above in-order to
properly allow your PATCH System to route audio signal flows.
Unlinking/Unlocking
Unlinking Digital Rack Spaces allows the Inputs & Outputs to be separately routed for additional flexibility.
Note: When Unlinking Digital Rack Spaces, there will be (2) Digital Rack Spaces populated in the Hardware Index. The
Top will be the PATCH (Input)and the Bottom will be the PATCH (Output)

Linked/Locked
Linked Digital Rack Spaces will allow the Inputs & Outputs to be routed with only 1Single Digital Rack
Space Representing both the Input & Output when routing in the Active Routing Grid.
B
Converter Output to Converter Input Routing
This example shows a simple Converter (Output) to
Converter (Input) PATCH APP Routing. This routing will
allow a user to send audio Out from their Converter
(DAW) and back In to their Converter (DAW)
Microphone to Converter Input Routing w/
Additional Signal Processing
This example shows a Microphone with Additional
Processing between the Audio Signal Source and the
Converter (DAW).
NOTE: Externally connected Preamp 48V Phantom Power cannot be passed
through the PATCH System Series.

Stereo Pairing
Stereo Pairing can be achieved by selecting the “Pair” Icon any multiple corresponding Input and Output
Channels. More about “Stereo Paring” can be found in the PATCH Series User Manual.
