3THANK YOU FROM FLOCK AUDIO
THANK YOU
Where do I begin to start by saying Thank you for your support…
I started working on a conceptual design known as “PATCH” in early 2016 when I decided to
leave my stable career and chose to pursue the path less travelled of designing and developing a
better & more efficient process for professional audio recording engineers in the depths of my
basement home recording studio.
In need of a better solution other than the available 1870’s technology known as a traditional
patch bay, the concept was born to create a fully digitally controlled but 100% analog circuit
routing system that wouldn’t color or alter the audio signals passing through it.
After 2 years of strenuous work and constant focus, Flock Audio the company I started, created
the worlds first and most advanced digitally controlled analog audio routing system with features
never before possible in conventional analog audio routing.
I’m honoured to have so many customers believe in what Flock Audio stands for…Innovations
above Expectations. We have an incredible team of professionals from engineers, software
developers & everyone in-house who helped create this one of kind piece of professional audio
history.
We look forward to providing the pro audio world with more innovations and excellent service to
help assist aspiring and seasoned professionals to create masterpieces for years to come.
Thank you again for choosing to make Flock Audio a part of your professional audio identity.
Darren Nakonechny
(CEO/Director/Founder)
Sincerely,
Thank you…

4INTRODUCTION TO THE PATCH LT SYSTEMPATCHlt MANUAL
INTRODUCTION
The Flock Audio PATCH LT System is a digitally controlled, 100%
analog audio patch bay routing system. A combination of software
known as the PATCH APP and a 32 Point connection hardware
component allows users to easily route and control analog audio
routings without having to resort to the use of manual patch
cables.
The PATCH APP software application (OSX & Windows
Compatible) is designed with familiarity in mind. PATH’s in the
application represent audio signal flows from top to bottom.
Signal flows are divided up into single vertical columns allowing
users to drag + drop available analog audio equipment connected
to the PATCH LT’s Hardware component. This analog audio
equipment is cataloged in the Hardware Index, located to the left
side of the PATCH APP.
The PATCH LT Hardware component is a 1U rack-mountable unit
that acts as the centrepiece hub of an audio equipment
processing setup. Utilizing digital control over analog audio
signals is what makes the PATCH LT System unique and unlike
anything else in the audio industry.
This manual will go more in-depth into the functions, features and
recommended usage of the Flock Audio PATCH LT System.
INTRODUCTION TO THE PATCH LT SYSTEM…

5IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICES
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICES
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICES
To avoid risk of electric shock, injury or death, it is recommended to never
attempt to self-service a Flock Audio PATCH LT System. There are no self
repairable or removable parts in the system. If your Flock Audio PATCH LT
System requires repairs, please contact our support team to arrange for a
Flock Audio Certified Repair Technician. (www.flockaudio.com/support)
#1. Do Not Self-Service
To avoid risk of damage to your PATCH LT System, avoid having liquids &/or
spills near your PATCH LT System. If accidental spill occurs, safely shut off
your PATCH LT System using the front power toggle switch, unplug the wall
outlet and disconnect the 6-pin power supply from the system. Once
completed, please contact Flock Audio Support to arrange for a Certified
Repair Technician to remove and repair if required.
#2. Avoid Liquid &/or Spills
It is not recommended to use any other alternative power supply sources
other than your included Flock Audio TRUM Power 65W Power Supply with
your Flock Audio PATCH LT System. Use of other power supplies may cause
damage and void your warranty agreement. Use of 3rd party USB & DB-25
Cables are of no concern and should be chosen based upon the preference
and needs of the user.
#3. Use Only Recommended Power Supplies & Cables
Proper mount spacing and rack mount ventilation is required to ensure your
Flock Audio PATCH LT System does not overheat. It is recommended that
the rear of the rack is open for proper ventilation and that the user DOES
NOT mount the PATCH LT System above any tube-related audio
equipment. If necessary, there should be a 1/2 - 1U rack space between the
PATCH LT System and any warm or tube-related audio equipment to avoid
unexpected shutdowns or internal damage.
#4. Proper Rack mount Ventilation Requirements
In addition to your supplied Power Supply brick, it is recommended that
you always use a properly shielded and grounded IEC power cable (110V/
220V) with your PATCH LT System. The Chassis is designed to work with the
earth ground inside the box for both a safe & quiet audio operation. Never
remove or use a IEC cable accessory without the grounding pin.
#5. Use Properly Grounded IEC Power Cables
Although no damage or immediate danger will occur if 48V Phantom Power
is engaged on a preamp connected to the Input of the PATCH LT System, it
is not recommended to leave that 48V source active for a lengthly period of
time. The PATCH LT System is equipped with its own 48V capabilities and
once it detects an externally connected active 48V source, it will prompt the
user in the PATCH APP to disable it.
#6. External 48V Phantom Power (I.E. Connected Preamp)
Never use your Flock Audio PATCH LT System during any electrical or
lightning storms. Calmly shutdown your System, unplug the IEC power
cable from the wall outlet or power conditioner until it is safe to continue
use. It is also recommended to keep the system unplugged if not in use for
long extended periods of time.
#7. Discontinue Use During Electrical Storms
Flock Audio Inc. reserves the right to revise or change the information
contained within this manual without notice. All revisions or changes will be
noted by the Version Number located on the front title page of this manual
and the latest digital manual will be provided via web link in the PATCH APP
Software Application.

MULTIPLE UNIT SETUP
Multiple PATCH System Setup
When connecting multiple hardware units together for Multi-
Unit configurations, a user must choose which connections to
configure in order to send &/or receive analog audio signals
between multiple PATCH LT Hardware Units.
As shown in the example to the right, 2 PATCH LT Hardware
Units are connected with 8 Sends and 8 Returns. This
configuration example allows a user to Send 8 analog audio
signals from one PATCH LT #1 to PATCH LT #2 and return 8
analog audio signals to PATCH LT #1 (if required).
This is only an example of the possible Multi-Unit routing
configurations and is not restrictive of other user desired
configurations. Users may choose to have more or all sends
then equal returns.
The below example shows a simple PATCH APP Software view
of how a Multi-Unit Hardware setup would appear in the
PATCH APP when routing from PATCH LT #1 to PATCH LT #2
and back again. More information on multi-unit setups can be
found in the PATCH APP manual.
