The 1528 Slim 8 is the perfect all-rounder. Due to its slim dimensions, it can seamlessly adapt to any role—whether as a main stereo speaker, surround or height speaker, center channel, or desktop unit. With a shallow depth of only 19.8 cm and standard VESA100 mounting, the 1528 Slim makes it easy to install premium sound anywhere.
1528 Slim 8 has a 3-way speaker design that delivers incredible performance with its 28mm lithium-magnesium tweeter, 5″ carbon-graphene midrange, and 8″ aluminum bass driver, ensuring detailed highs, rich mids, and impressively powerful, deep, dynamic bass. The acoustically time-aligned driver baffle and controlled directivity waveguide create a wide listening window for smooth, immersive sound.
Designed for critical Hi-fi listening. Anywhere.
The 1528 Series makes this possible with its unique 3-way design, custom Carbon-Graphene midrange driver, lithium-magnesium tweeter, alongside other extraordinary features we designed with the discerning listener in mind.
At the heart every speaker in the 1528 Series, is a sophisticated 3-way design featuring a custom premium 28mm Lithium-Magnesium tweeter, offering unparalleled detail and dynamics. Housed within a controlled directivity waveguide, it ensures that high frequencies are stunningly clear and detailed and precisely directed for optimal sound dispersion across your listening space. The result is an expansive soundstage that immerses you fully in your favorite music and soundtracks.
The over specified custom 5″ Carbon-Graphene midrange driver combines incredibly light and stiff materials to provide exceptional accuracy and dynamics, while reducing distortion to the bare minimum. It delivers rich, natural sound that seamlessly blends with crisp highs from the tweeter, making notes, dialogue, and musical detail come alive with incredible realism. A perfect partner for the tweeter-waveguide combination.
Our new, custom-designed 8″ aluminum long-throw bass drivers have inverted surrounds for a sleek, integrated design and housed in a prism structure for added stiffness. Everything comes together in a robust, acoustically optimized HDF cabinet, resulting in a dynamic performance with deep, impactful bass that you feel as much as you hear.
Our innovative, precision-engineered, and acoustically time-aligned driver baffle ensures every note is delivered with pinpoint precision, creating a coherent and dynamic listening experience that is always in step with the listener. This functional yet innovative design effectively solves the inherent challenge of aligning multiple drivers. By curving the baffle, we achieve a mechanically clean solution that avoids adding unnecessary complexity to the crossover, preserving the purity and integrity of the sound.
The 1528 Series offers both ported and sealed modes, allowing you to customize the bass response depending on your individual room acoustics and personal preference. Choose an open port for maximum output and the lowest bass extension when the speaker is free standing. Or go sealed for a tighter, faster bass response when the speaker is close to a wall or corner.
1528 Series are serious statement pieces. A hardwearing, satin paint finish — with metal flake detail in the Basalt version, and pearl in Polar — adds a touch of elegance, and solid multi-layered HDF cabinet construction minimizes resonances for pure, uncolored sound. The time-consuming care and attention to detail we put into the development of 1528 series reflect the pride and integrity we take in every Arendal product.

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.
