music system

Home sound equipment

A music system is equipment for playing recorded audio—typically combining speakers, amplifier, and one or more source components like a turntable, CD player, or digital streamer.

The term often implies a unified or coordinated setup rather than separate components: We need a music system for the party.

In British usage especially, it can mean a compact stereo unit.
