Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'recording' (capturing/storing audio or video) modifies 'equipment' (objects used for a task), so the phrase denotes equipment for recording. This follows a common noun+noun compound pattern found across many languages and would be immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows both words.
Etymology
Recording equipment creates a simple picture: recording means making a copy of sound or images, and equipment are the tools used to do that. So recording equipment means the devices used to 'capture' and 'store' audio, video, or other data.
