THANK 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.
