The historic Warsaw Theatre in Brooklyn, New York, completed an upgrade to a new Adamson loudspeaker system in the summer of 2025, bringing touring-grade performance to one of the city’s most distinctive live music venues.
Located in Greenpoint, the 1,000-capacity venue has been a staple of Brooklyn’s live scene for more than two decades, hosting a wide range of artists spanning punk, rock, hip-hop, and electronic music. The update ensures visiting engineers and performers experience the same clarity, headroom, and coverage expected from a modern touring system.
The main loudspeaker system comprises a stereo array of six CS10n, Adamson’s dual-10″ powered intelligent line array cabinets, with two CS119 single 19″ subwoofers flown above for low-end extension. Additional IS219 were installed under the stage for their high-powered output and low vertical profile. IS7p were deployed as front fills, and the entire system was matrixed and managed through the Adamson Gateway with Array Intelligence.
On stage, artists perform using MG10 monitors and CS119 subwoofers to deliver full, balanced mixes with the clarity and power needed for live performance.
“The recent Adamson installation at the Warsaw, by our partners at Clair Global Integration, has equipped the venue with a system that delivers exceptional impact while preserving the clarity and nuance of the most delicate sounds. As a result, artists like Sam Smith can evoke the power of a stadium tour while still creating an intimate atmosphere for an audience of roughly 1,000—making every performance feel truly special.” said Adam Duabe, Applications Support, AMER at Adamson Systems Engineering.
Sam Smith’s acclaimed Warsaw residency continues this month, pairing his dynamic vocal performance with the fidelity and headroom of an Adamson CS-Series system. The venue’s compact layout makes the residency feel immersive, with every detail of his set translating cleanly across the room. With the system fully integrated and operational, audiences and touring engineers alike can expect reliable, high-impact sound for years to come.
