or outboard gear is used to process or alter a sound signal separately from functionality provided within a mixing console or a digital audio workstation outboard effects units can be used either during a live performance or in the recording studio overview edit some outboard effects units and digital signal processing dsp boxes commonly found in a studio are analog to digital and digital to analog converters 1 musical instrument digital interfaces midis microphone preamplifiers equalizers dynamics effects units compressors limiters noise gates time based effects units reverb flanging delay chorus etc 2 devices edit the term outboard was originally used to describe a piece of audio equipment that existed outside of a studio or venue s primary analog mixing board today analog effects are also considered outboard when used in conjunction with console free computer based digital recording systems 3 famous examples include analog dynamic range compressors such as the teletronix la 2a and the universal audio urei 1176 early multi effects units like those made by eventide and physical or digital reverb processors invented by emt and lexicon vocal effects edit some units either introduce a reverberation effect or some kind of pitch transformation or coloration of the singer s voice digital units have been designed that can compress or expand the duration of sound these alter the speed of length of the original sound digital units edit the invention of the midi interfaced electronic keyboard has seen a leap forward in the way that the sound of musical instruments is produced on stage or in the recording studio the modern keyboard produces digital signals when the keys are depressed these signals are processed by external effects units to reproduce original digitally sampled instrument sounds such as a classical piano or string and wind instruments this allows the user of such a device to reproduce the sound of virtually any instrument 4 etymology edit the term outboard can be considered out of board or not inside the board when recording engineers live sound technicians needed an external processor that was not a part of their mixing surface they would go outboard references edit digital products musikhaus thomann 2010 retrieved 15 february 2011 the classics musikhaus thomann 2010 retrieved 15 february 2011 hybrid recording with
