1723 Height S

Select finish

The 1723 Height S is designed to do one thing exceptionally well: add vertical dimension to your home theater. Whether you’re placing it high on your front wall, above side surrounds, or on the ceiling for overhead effects, it delivers focused, dynamic sound exactly where it’s needed.

The first time you hear sound overhead — a helicopter sweeping by or rain falling from above — you realize how much height changes everything. It doesn’t just add direction. It adds realism, emotion, and a deeper connection to the story.

With the same tweeter and waveguide as the rest of the 1723 Series S lineup and a sealed, compact HDF cabinet, the Height S integrates seamlessly into your system both acoustically and visually. Afterall, it’s purpose-built for immersive cinema.

ENGINEERED FOR
HEIGHT AND SURROUND CHANNELS

Dolby Atmos and DTS:X add realism by expanding sound vertically but that only works if your speakers are up to the task. The Height S features a 28mm soft dome tweeter in a waveguide for wide dispersion and smooth detail, plus a 6.5” mid-woofer tuned for clarity, speed, and controlled output.

The sealed cabinet allows clean placement on walls or ceilings without the unpredictable bass interaction of ported designs. It’s not about output for output’s sake; it’s about delivering accuracy in the places that matter most.

“While it’s clear that these speakers have been scaled down in terms of physical size, they have not been downscaled in terms of performance.”

“The sudden sonic explosions, blaster fires, and spacecraft engines are rendered with heart-pounding intensity, without sacrificing detail or clarity.”

“In light of these strong characteristics, it’s no surprise that the Arendal 1723 Series S has been rightfully recognized as an AVS Top Choice for 2023.”

CLEAN LOOK.
FLEXIBLE MOUNTING

Designed to stay out of the way visually while doing everything sonically, the Height S is compact and finished to the same standard as the rest of the 1723 Series S lineup. The sealed enclosure makes wall or ceiling placement simple with the included VESA100 mounting bracket, and magnetic grilles keep the front clean and understated.

It reflects the same Norwegian principles as every speaker we build; clarity of purpose, premium materials, and no unnecessary clutter.

BUILD YOUR
REFERENCE SYSTEM

Add Height S speakers above your mains, surrounds, or listening position to expand your system’s sense of space. Pair them with Monitor S or Tower S for floor-level impact, Center S for dialog, and Surround S for immersive wraparound sound. Every model in the 1723 Series S shares the same voicing, so transitions feel seamless and natural.

And with a 60-day risk-free trial and 10-year warranty, you can build your system with total confidence.

Frequency

Frequency response does not reflect maximum output but shows its true response in a anechoic chamber. Typically you will see an elevated response in the bass response below 40Hz in room due to room gain, which can add around 6dB pr. octave under 40Hz depending on the size of your room.

Polar

The charts display frequency response measured at different angles, the sum of which is referred to as power response. Much scientific research has been undertaken on this subject and a linear power response has proven a substantial impact on the overall sound, because the frequency response is more even in all directions. This means an Arendal Sound speaker will be more tolerant of differences in room shape, size, construction and materials.

Impendence

The impedance charts are electrical measurements of the loudspeaker’s resistance vs frequency.
