IMPORTANT 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
