Slate Control

The Slate Control is a state of the art analog monitoring device built with the modern studio in mind. Designed by Paul Wolff (formerly of API and Tonelux), it is the official monitor section of the new RAVEN MTX mk2, and the RAVEN MTi2. The Slate Control is also the ideal monitoring solution for any professional production studio which demands massive amounts of features, the most pristine sound quality, and convenient desktop workflow. It can even be retrofitted in an analog console or sidecar (including easy access to the solo system) to improve the monitoring in older technology. It includes all the standard features commonly found on large frame consoles, including multiple inputs, multiple speakers and LFE Control, headphones, studio speakers, cue, talkback, reverse talkback and external solo interfacing.

The Slate Control can be used as a portable, stand-alone unit, or flush mounted into an existing surface. The front panel is 7” tall, allowing it to fit into the standard fader slots of most consoles. The signal path from the input to the speakers never sees a DAC, FET switch, VCA or optical device. All switching is done with relays, including the main control room level, which is a relay array that insures exact left/right imaging and precise switching in 1dB steps.
