Note
A regular plural, with the -s on the end of the closed compound: two setups, never sets-up. The closed spelling also keeps the noun apart from the phrasal verb it comes from: they set up the gear, and the setups were ready. The plural serves every meaning of the singular, from rigs of equipment and staged frame-ups to production runs and the wind-driven tilt of a lake's water.
