bins

English to French Other Music music industry
"The band responded by lugging in their own gear: the two Yamaha A40 bins they'd been using as a PA, an HH mixing console, set up on stage, and a pair of lights, which the band parked on either side of the stage."

"Bins" signifierait-il ici "ensemble" ou aurait-il une connotation qui voudrait dire qu'ils étaient en mauvais état ??

amplis

Le Yamaha A40 est un amplificateur. Je pense qu'ils disent "bins" dans les sens de "boîtes" ou d'objets de forme ressemblant à une boîte. Je ne sais pas comment produire cette métaphore en français mais je suis sûre qu'il s'agit d'un ampli puisqu'ils l'utilisent comme sono (PA).
