PRECISION TIMING.

FLAWLESS REPRODUCTION

The 1528 Tower 8’s precision-engineered, 85mm thick, time-aligned driver baffle delivers every note with remarkable accuracy, creating a coherent and dynamic listening experience. The curved baffle design aligns multiple drivers to the listening position effortlessly, reducing crossover design complexity and preserving sound purity. This innovative approach ensures every musical detail reaches the listener in-phase and with minimal interference.

“The curved front baffle of the 1528 series isn’t just for looks—it plays a crucial role in achieving an incredibly lifelike and engaging performance.”

Thomas Gunvaldsen, Arendal Sound CTO

CRAFTED WITH PRECISION.

BUILT TO LAST

1528 Series are serious statement pieces with a solid multi-layered HDF (high density fiberboard) cabinet construction and high quality, satin paint finish — there’s striking metal flake detail in the Basalt version, and pearl in the baffle of the Polar. The time-consuming care and attention to detail we put into the development of every speaker in the 1528 Series line-up are reflected in our industry-leading 10-year warranty.

“The four powerful woofers are impactful yet refined, maintaining perfect balance with the delicate midrange and smooth, detailed highs.”

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.

Impendence

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