Scoop bass bin

The scoop is the reggae sound system's standard bass bin at the base of the stack.

UK dub rigs such as Jah Shaka's built their low-frequency dominance on folded-horn bass bins.

The scoop is a rear-loaded folded-horn design.

Folding the bass horn inside the box is the principle behind the reggae scoop.

Front-loaded horns are an alternative bass loading to the rear-loaded scoop.

The scoop's front and rear outputs radiate in opposite phase, giving a heavy dip.

Port or horn length sets where a bass bin gives its heaviest output.

The scoop's heavy, dipped response embodies the tuned low-end ideal.

Shared plans spread scoop and horn designs beyond the original crews.

Reflex boxes offer a shallower bass than the horn-loaded scoop favoured for reggae weight.

The wardrobe bass box was superseded as the folded-horn scoop became the standard bass bin.

The scoop bass bin replaced the quad speaker box as the standard during the 1960s.

The bass-forward boxes trained engineers to mix drum and bass to the front.

The bass bin is built around a fifteen-, eighteen- or twenty-one-inch woofer.

The scoop is technically a transmission-line and rear-horn hybrid.

Flexible ply, double-layered for the curved throat, is the standard scoop material.

Three or more scoops are arrayed so their mouths couple into a heavier note.
