WHY I STARTED
ARENDAL SOUND
I didn’t start Arendal Sound because the world needed another speaker brand. I started it because I was tired of what the industry had become – all show, no soul.
So, in 2015, I set out to build something different. Something grounded. Something honest. That meant cutting out the middlemen, charging a fair price, and building products that genuinely serve the people who use them.
Everything we do is shaped by one principle. Will this make your experience better? If not, we keep working until it does.
If you’ve ever felt like the industry wasn’t listening – I hear you.
That’s why Arendal Sound exists.
Jan Ove Lassesen, Founder
GREAT SOUND DOESN’T HAVE TO BE COMPLICATED — OR A GAMBLE
Too much audio gear promises the world and delivers little. We do things differently — precision-engineered loudspeakers, honest performance, and the freedom to audition them at home for 60 days, with free, insured shipping and returns.
From our workshop in Norway to your living room, we make great sound simple, trustworthy, and unforgettable.
WHY
ARENDAL?
ENGINEERED THE NORWEGIAN WAY.
HEART, PRECISION, AND PURPOSE
We don’t build for headlines – we build for the listener. Every decision we make starts with one question. Does this make the sound better in real homes, for real people?
We keep things simple: No trend-chasing, no spec-sheet inflation. Just solid engineering that translates into an emotional, immersive experience.

AWARD-WINNING.
