Slate Pro Audio is the hardware arm of producer and engineer Steven Slate's audio companies, which also include the Steven Slate Drums sample library and the Slate Digital plugin line. The brand was launched as the hardware imprint behind the Dragon, an FET-based analog compressor and dynamics processor co-developed with Studio Electronics' Greg St. Regis and Tim Caswell, drawing inspiration from classic FET designs like the UREI 1176 while adding more flexible sound-shaping controls.

Slate Pro Audio is best known for the RAVEN, a multi-touch DAW control surface introduced in 2012 that replaces a traditional mixing console with large touchscreen monitors mapped to Pro Tools, Logic, Ableton, Cubase, Studio One and other DAWs. The RAVEN line has expanded into multiple form factors, including the MTi2, MTX, MTZ, and MAX configurations sold through retailers such as Sweetwater, Guitar Center and Vintage King. The console hardware is now marketed under the Steven Slate Audio name, and the RAVEN brand has been adopted in studios used by artists including Snoop Dogg, will.i.am, Steve Aoki, Mark Needham, and Dolly Parton.

The parent entity, Yellow Matter Entertainment, also operates Steven Slate Audio's VSX mixing headphones — a binaural-modeling system that emulates reference rooms and monitor pairs — alongside the Steven Slate Drums product family. Slate Pro Audio sits in the high-end project- and pro-studio market, with its identity tied closely to Steven Slate himself rather than to a traditional manufacturer's catalog.

Slate Pro Audio has 5 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Studio Desks and Workstations, DAW Controllers, and Effects Processors. Their gear is featured by 17 artists, with the strongest followings in Electronic, Pop, and Rock. Notable users include Anthony Rodriguez, Matthew Bellamy, and Justin Vernon.
