sound board

Vibration-enhancing panel

A sound board is a thin resonant plate in a musical instrument—piano, violin, guitar—that amplifies vibrations from the strings.

In audio production, a soundboard (often one word) is a mixing console with sliders and knobs for controlling multiple audio channels.

Figuratively, a sounding board is a person you bounce ideas off to test them: She uses her sister as a sounding board for business decisions.
