Adamson #1114

Adamson Systems Engineering is a Canadian manufacturer of professional loudspeaker systems (line arrays, subwoofers) and audio electronics for concert rental, touring, and fixed installations. It is known for its vertically integrated manufacturing and patented loudspeaker technologies.

The company was founded in 1984 by Brock Adamson in a small warehouse in Vancouver, with the goal of reproducing sound without distortion even at extremely high volume levels. Manufacturing was later relocated to Port Perry, Ontario, where the company operates a roughly 100,000-square-foot factory. Over the years Adamson has released a number of landmark systems — the Metrix and SpekTrix lines, the Y-Axis and E-Series (Energia) line arrays, and later the flagship VGt array — and has been granted patents covering chamber design, drivers, rigging, and enclosures. In 2024 the company marked its 40th anniversary, continuing to develop integrated digital solutions such as the FletcherMachine processor and the BeSpline and Brain Modular acquisitions.
