Musicians, engineers, and gear enthusiasts—2025 just got more exciting. Flock Audio, the innovative pro audio company behind the PATCH series, has unveiled its newest game-changer: SWITCH. This analog instrument routing controller promises a seamless, user-friendly experience for managing multiple inputs, all while preserving the pure, unaltered analog sound you crave.
If you’ve ever wished for a routing solution that combines analog transparency with modern convenience, SWITCH might just be your answer. Let’s explore what makes it a must-have for both studio and live settings.
SWITCH From Flock Audio At a Glance:
- Customizable control: Effortlessly toggle between up to 8 inputs with SWITCH’s sleek LCD rotary knob.
- No latency, no loss: Enjoy pure analog sound with zero AD/DA conversion or latency.
- Studio to stage: Ideal for recording sessions or live gigs, SWITCH makes routing simple.
Why SWITCH Stands Out in the Analog World
Designed for synth and analog instrument users, SWITCH simplifies the complex world of input management. Its core selling point? A beautifully crafted, large LCD rotary knob that’s fully customizable. You can tweak its color, display input names, or even add images to make your interface truly yours. Whether you’re a studio producer or a live performer, this feature guarantees both precision and personality.
But the innovation doesn’t stop there. SWITCH’s eight mono/stereo TRS/TS inputs and two XLR outputs allow it to handle a wide range of setups. And with 100% analog routing—completely free of AD/DA conversion—you’ll experience sonic transparency with no latency whatsoever. For audiophiles, this means your signal stays pure, no matter how complex your chain becomes.
“SWITCH is a new product category for us designed to directly address the needs of artists and engineers who use synths and other analog instrument inputs,” shared Flock Audio Founder and CEO Darren Nakonechny. “The large LCD display rotary knob makes it incredibly easy and, frankly, fun to use.”
A Closer Look at SWITCH’s Features
When it comes to functionality, SWITCH is as versatile as it is innovative. Some of its standout features include:
- Comprehensive Input/Output Options: 8 mono/stereo inputs and 2 XLR outputs accommodate diverse setups.
- Noise-Free Switching: Move between channels effortlessly with built-in noise and switch suppression.
- Seamless App Integration: The SWITCH app, compatible with both macOS and Windows, gives you digital control over your routing setup.
- User Customization: Adjust colors, images, and text on the LCD knob, and even control ambient lighting for a personalized touch.
- Built for Ergonomics: Designed for desktop use, the SWITCH blends functionality with sleek aesthetics.
All this comes packed in a compact design weighing just 24 lbs., making it portable enough for gigs yet robust enough for studio environments.
