Bonjour,

"Participants will also receive (via email) a free post addressed label to enable the return of the trade in unit (“Old Sound System”)
"Ancien système sonore" ? Cela ne "sonne pas un peu faux" ?
Merci beaucoup !

Perhaps?
'system' is a bit pretentious, but is presumably used to cover all eventualities. So I'd suggest something equally all-embracing but maybe less pretentious in FR.

Old Sound System
Is this by any chance part of an address, i.e. the name of a business?
Maybe something along the lines of this:
http://www.timeout.com/london/things-to-do/notting-hill-carn...
http://www.thesourcemag.net/index.php?option=com_content&vie...
so "old" would mean they are not newbies in the "sound system" business, not that it's about second-hand audio equipment.
If it is the name of the business, should be left as it is.
