Located in the heart of Warsaw’s vibrant Praga district, the Jan Kiepura Masovian Musical Theater has long been celebrated for its atmosphere, artistic diversity and loyal audiences. The venue has now installed an advanced sound system from Eastern Acoustic Works to take productions to a new level of sonic excellence.
For years, the theater operated with a subleased sound system that delivered strong performance but presented significant coverage limitations. Due to its size, the previous system had to be hung high, resulting in uneven sound distribution throughout the auditorium.
Maciej Marcinuik, Deputy Director for Administration and Investment at the Masovian Musical Theater, said the venue faced a specific challenge regarding the orchestra. Because the orchestra sits directly in front of the system, there was no possibility to use traditional front-fills.
The solution came in the form of the EAW AC6 ADAPTive column loudspeaker system. Compact yet powerful, each AC6 column contains six 6-inch low-frequency drivers and a total of 30 high-frequency drivers. Every enclosure features its own onboard amplification and dedicated DSP channels, enabling precise, computer-controlled coverage and optimization.
Marcinuik said the change achieved practically the same sound pressure level throughout the entire auditorium. The team measured it at virtually every seat, finding the difference from the first row to the last is minimal. That level of consistency was exactly what the theater was looking for.
The installation allows the renowned venue to achieve even sound distribution, enhanced feedback resistance and invisible integration with the ADAPTive sound system.
