Equipment found in a recording studio commonly includes:
* A professional-grade [[mixing console]]
* Additional small mixing consoles for adding more channels (e.g., if a drum kit needs to be miked and all of the channels of the large console are in use, an additional 16 channel mixer would enable the engineers to mix the mics for the kit)
* [[Microphone preamplifier]]s 
* [[Multitrack recorder]] or [[digital audio workstation]]
* Computers
* A wide selection of [[microphones]] typical for different types of instruments
* [[DI unit]] boxes
* [[Microphone stand]]s to enable engineers to place microphones at the desired locations in front of singers, instrumentalists or ensembles
* [[Studio monitor]]s designed for listening to recorded mixes or tracks
* Studio monitoring [[headphones]] (typically closed-shell, to prevent sound from "leaking" out into the microphones)
* "On Air" or "Recording" lighted signs to remind other studio users to be quiet
* Outboard [[effect unit]]s, such as [[audio level compression|compressors]], [[reverberation|reverbs]], or [[equalization (audio)|equalizers]]
* [[Music stand]]s
