The Arena 1 is a 3-way in-wall / in-ceiling speaker designed to deliver high-performance sound in a discreet architectural form. Its advanced driver layout, phase-focused engineering, and sealed-box design help create a wide, detailed, and natural soundstage. Premium materials and an optional square magnetic grille allow it to blend elegant design with practical installation flexibility.

An Elegant Companion
The Arena 1 features an optional square magnetic grille, designed to protect the speaker’s components without compromising audio quality.
New Dimensions Of Arena
The new models within the Arena collection bring greater flexibility and scalability to the Sonus faber custom installation line, enabling high-performance system design across a wider range of room sizes and configurations. In every application, they preserve the unmistakable Sonus faber Natural Sound.
Phase Coherent Design
Measuring a loudspeaker system by focusing only on the modulus of the sound pressure level, that is, how many dB reach your ear according to frequency, is not enough.
By also analyzing the acoustic phase between each driver, we can design crossover networks that predict the timing differences between the drivers as they reach your ears and adjust their behavior across a wide frequency range to achieve a wider and more detailed soundstage.
Phase Plug
The phase plug is designed to improve the midrange’s off-axis response, linearizing its frequency response at the highest frequencies of its useful bandwidth.
Organic Basket
The organic basket, fully designed in Italy, follows a non-symmetrical pattern that gives the basket greater structural stiffness while allowing the cone to move as it should. If the basket were too closed at the rear of the driver, it would create additional air stiffness and disturb the cone’s movement. This issue is solved by the pattern created in the organic basket.
Camelia Surround Pattern
The non-circular surround pattern helps reduce the radial vibration modes caused by the axis-symmetric coupling of the surround to the cone.
