Showtime Sound equips Washington, D.C.\u2019s leading EDM venue with a new sound system designed to maintain Echostage\u2019s status as a prime tour stop for top DJs<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

WASHINGTON, D.C. \u2013 May 2026 \u2013 <\/strong>Washington, D.C. has a side that never makes the school trip itinerary. Electronic dance music (EDM) has a rich, often overlooked history in the nation\u2019s capital, with an underground scene that flourished decades ago, blending house, breaks, and garage across local clubs and parties. Alongside D.C.\u2019s signature go-go music, the area also nurtured a next-generation electronic scene in the \u201990s and early \u201900s, with artists like Adam Freeland and Evil Nine helping lay the groundwork for some of the city\u2019s most celebrated EDM venues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Topping that venue list is Echostage, a 30,000+ square-foot converted warehouse in Washington, D.C.\u2019s Langdon neighborhood, redesigned as a premier EDM destination. Upon opening in 2012, the 3,000-capacity hybrid nightclub and concert hall quickly became a defining force in nightlife and live entertainment, consistently ranking among the world\u2019s best venues, including DJ Mag<\/em>\u2019s #1 venue in the United States and #8 globally. In 2020, Insomniac entered into a partnership with Echostage, Project GLOW Fest, and Club GLOW, helping to elevate the venue\u2019s national presence. Since then, Echostage has continued to host some of the biggest names in music, including Ti\u00ebsto, Avicii, Mau P, Fisher, Subtronics, Calvin Harris, Lorde, Sam Smith, Disclosure, Kaytranada, Chris Lake, Solomun, Black Coffee, and David Guetta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Echostage\u2019s Next Stage is Artist-Driven<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a venue built on world-class bookings, the sound system has to keep pace with the artists and their fans who walk through the door, and Echostage was ready to make that move. That meant L-Acoustics, says Pete Kalamoutsos, CEO at Club GLOW and Owner of Echostage, CTRL, and Insomniac Events\u2019 Project GLOW Festival. \u201cEvery year we do our best to elevate the Echostage experience, and our new L-Acoustics L Series sound system\u2014one of only a handful of permanent installations in the United States\u2014creates one of the greatest live listening environments in the world,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marc Chauvin, CTO of Showtime Sound, which designed and installed the new sound system, wholeheartedly agrees: \u201cIf you look at the EDM world, L-Acoustics is now what\u2019s expected. It\u2019s in all of the top clubs, and Echostage needed that for the riders of the artists who perform there. The venue\u2019s production manager, Matt \u2018Gonzo\u2019 Gonzalez, was really a driving force behind this system\u2019s selection. He knows exactly what artists are looking for, and there was never a question about what was going to go in\u2014L-Acoustics was it from the start.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Echostage\u2019s new loudspeaker design features compact-yet-powerful left and right mains of one L-Acoustics L2<\/a> over one L2D<\/a>, with each array backed by a hang of four KS28<\/a> subs flown in a cardioid configuration. The low end is bolstered by 16 more KS28 in eight stacks of two, lined across the face of the stage. One A15 Focus<\/a> over two A15 Wide<\/a> are flown per side as out-fill arrays, while two more pair of A15 Wide are positioned atop the ground subs for front-fill. LA7.16i<\/a> amplified controllers power all L and A Series enclosures, while LA12X<\/a> drive the subs. A second system for stage monitoring consists of three Kara II<\/a> over a KS21<\/a> sub on each side of the stage. These are powered by three LA12X and one LA4X<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L2\/L2D is the Future of Sound Reinforcement<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking after the debut weekend for the system, which featured shows by Galantis and KSHMR, Gonzalez praised the results. \u201cThe pattern control was impressive. This room really isn\u2019t acoustically treated, and it was notable how much less energy and, by extension, how much less excitation of room modes was needed to make it sound full and impactful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As importantly, Gonzalez says the L Series install represents a new chapter in both the club\u2019s technical evolution and in live sound technology. \u201cYou can sit back and take in the fact that technology is really moving on,\u201d he says. \u201cWe see these big turning points every 10 or 15 years, these big technological markers, and L Series is clearly one of them. The fact that this system went up so quickly and that it is so consistent is fascinating. It\u2019s been an eye-opening experience. We\u2019ve seen the future, and with L-Acoustics, we\u2019ve now heard it, too.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
