COMPACT DESIGN
PURE PERFORMANCE
1961 Series speakers and subwoofers are thoughtfully designed to fit effortlessly into modern living spaces while delivering the audio performance you’d expect from much larger and more expensive products.
Borrowing innovations from the 1723 Series, including waveguide tweeters and custom drivers, the 1961 Series ensures precise, dynamic sound reproduction. A variety of models allow you to create a sound system tailored to your room and preferences. High-Density Fiberboard (HDF) cabinets and painted matte finishes reflect our unwavering commitment to quality.
ENGINEERED
FOR YOUR LISTENING SPACE
Whether you’re watching an action-packed movie, relaxing with your favorite playlist, or setting up a full home theater, the 1961 Series offers versatility and adaptability.
Tower, Monitor and Center models — when paired with a subwoofer — deliver expansive soundscapes and impactful bass for medium-to-larger rooms. The Bookshelf design is compact yet powerful, ideal for small-to-medium spaces and Surround and Height speakers are perfect for on-wall or on-ceiling installations. The aforementioned Subwoofers, with a choice of sealed or vented configurations, provide tight, precise bass or extended low-end impact.
With its blend of thoughtful engineering and practical design, the 1961 Series ensures your system sounds exceptional, even in smaller listening spaces.
ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY
OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE
Waveguide Tweeter
Adapted from the award-winning 1723 Series, the custom waveguide paired with a 28mm soft-dome tweeter, ensures precise sound dispersion and reduced distortion. This results in clear, consistent audio performance across the entire room, not just the sweet spot.
HDF (High-Density Fiberboard) Cabinets
Constructed from premium HDF, the cabinets eliminate unwanted resonance and vibrations, delivering clean, undistorted sound. The durable matte painted finishes reflect Arendal’s firm commitment to quality and aesthetics.
Custom Drivers
The proprietary 5.5” long-fiber pulp drivers deliver tight, punchy bass and smooth, detailed mids. These drivers are specifically designed for dynamic and immersive soundscapes, ideal for both music and movies.

Reviews from our customers
BUY DIRECT from
ARENDAL SOUND
Buying direct removes uncertainty — about pricing, advice, and long-term ownership.
By selling without distributors or retail layers, we stay accountable for the entire experience: how our products are built, how they’re explained, and how they’re supported over time.
No Hidden Margins
By removing distributors and retail markups, pricing reflects the product itself — with more of your budget going into engineering, materials, and quality control instead of sales layers.
Advice Without Sales Pressure
With no dealers, quotas, or commissions, guidance is based on your room, listening habits, and system goals, by specialists — not on what needs to be sold.
Proven Where It Matters: At Home
Because sound depends on the room, evaluation happens in your own space, with a 60-day home audition, free returns (USA & EU mainland), and support during setup.
Support That Extends Beyond the Sale
Selling direct creates a long-term responsibility, backed by consistent platform design, spare parts availability, and a 10-year warranty.
Direct-to-consumer isn’t about shortcuts.
It’s about clarity, accountability, and long-term confidence.
