Musical "outboard equipment" or "gear" is used to alter how a musical instrument sounds. Outboard, ''(external effects units)'' can be used either during a live performance or in the recording studio. These are separate from the effects that may be applied by using a mixing console or a digital audio workstation. Some outboard effects units and digital signal processing (DSP) boxes commonly found in a studio are: *analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters *musical instrument digital interfaces (MIDIs) *microphone preamplifiers ("microphone preamp", "mic preamps" or "preamps") *equalizers ("EQs") *dynamics effects units: compressors/limiters, noise gates *time-based effects units: reverb, flanging, delay, echo, chorus etc. ==Devices== 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. Famous examples include UREI's analog dynamic range compressors, such as the LA-2A and 1176, early multi-effects units like those made by Eventide, and physical or digital reverb processors invented by EMT and Lexicon. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「outboard gear」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
