sound system
Speakers and amplifier
A sound system is equipment for amplifying and reproducing audio—typically speakers, amplifiers, and related components working together.
The term covers everything from home stereo setups to massive concert rigs: The venue just upgraded their sound system.
In reggae and dancehall culture, a sound system specifically means a mobile DJ operation with its own equipment, crew, and identity.
