2.

The slang term for "PA" (public address) gear, or 'sound reinforcement'.

This term first became popular in 1960's Jamaica, in the reggae & dub

music scenes. King Tubbywas a pioneer in the usage of custom PA systems,

so was Lee Scratch Perry. In addition to the same formula that 'rock' systems use (two or more large "main" speakers, subwoofers, mixer,

microphones) dub "soundsystems" also utilize effects & devices for excessive

sound treatment (reverbs, delays, sound effect devices, samplers, effects units, etc)

This "dub" discipline carries on today, bands like Twilight Circus
