The historic Warsaw Theatre, located 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 music scene for more than two decades, hosting a wide range of artists spanning punk, rock, hip-hop, and electronic music.
The upgrade ensures that 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 intelligent, powered dual-10-inch line array cabinets, along with two flown CS119 19-inch subwoofers to extend low-frequency response. Additionally, IS219 subwoofers were installed under the stage for their high output and low vertical profile. IS7p loudspeakers were deployed as front fills, and the entire system was managed and processed through Adamson Gateway with Array Intelligence.
On stage, artists perform using MG10 monitors and CS119 subwoofers, delivering full and balanced mixes with the clarity and power required for live performances.
The recent Adamson installation at the Warsaw, carried out 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 even the most delicate sounds. As a result, artists like Sam Smith can evoke the power of a stadium-level tour while creating an intimate atmosphere for an audience of roughly 1,000 people, making every performance feel special, says Adam Duabe, Applications Support, AMER at Adamson Systems Engineering.
Sam Smith’s acclaimed residency at the Warsaw continues this month, pairing his dynamic vocal performance with the fidelity and headroom of Adamson’s CS-Series system. The venue’s compact layout makes the experience immersive, with every detail of his set translating clearly throughout the room. With the system fully integrated and operational, both audiences and touring engineers can expect reliable, high-impact sound for years to come.
