Slim 8

Arendal Sound introduces the 1610 speaker series from Norway, a cost-optimized evolution of flagship 1528 models, targeting high-end performance without flagship pricing.

The four-model 1610 lineup features true three-way designs, competing with Focal, DALI, KEF, and others, priced from $2,300 to $7,600 per pair.

Cabinets use high-density HDF with extensive internal bracing, 46 mm curved front baffles, and carefully tuned bass-reflex ports for controlled, low-resonance performance.

The Arendal Sound 1610 series introduces four loudspeaker models featuring an 8-inch aluminum woofer, designed for various settings including floor-standing and wall-mounted configurations.

Each model incorporates Røst Essence Acoustic Core technology: a 28mm aluminum-magnesium tweeter, a 5-inch carbon-fiber midrange, and advanced crossover components for optimal acoustic performance.

Tower 8, the floor-standing variant, boasts dual 8-inch woofers, a sensitivity of 89.5 dB, and a frequency response down to 28 Hz.
