Overview

Serious Cinema Performance. Seamlessly Integrated.

High-Performance 3-Way In-Wall Loudspeaker

The Sonus faber Arena 5 brings the power, scale, and refinement of a high-end loudspeaker into an architectural design that lets the room—and the experience—take center stage.

Engineered for dedicated private cinemas and sophisticated media rooms, the Arena 5 combines five drivers in a three-way, sealed-box configuration. Dual 6.5-inch woofers provide the low-frequency foundation, two dedicated 5.25-inch midrange drivers reproduce the critical frequencies of voices and instruments, and a 28 mm tweeter completes the presentation with high-frequency detail.

With 90.6 dB sensitivity, recommended amplifier power of up to 300 watts, and a mounting depth of just 3.93 inches, the Arena 5 offers a compelling combination of dynamic capability and installation flexibility.

This is Sonus faber's Natural Sound philosophy reimagined for the modern luxury home theater: exceptional audio performance, thoughtfully integrated into the architecture.

Five Drivers. Three-Way Precision. One Immersive Experience.

Dual 6.5-Inch Woofers — Built for Impact

Two 165 mm low-frequency drivers provide the foundation for the weight and physical presence demanded by cinematic soundtracks. Their combined radiating area allows the Arena 5 to move more air than a comparable single-woofer design, supporting greater output capability while retaining its slim architectural profile.

Dual 5.25-Inch Midrange Drivers — Where Emotion Lives

Dialogue, vocals, and the character of acoustic instruments depend heavily on accurate midrange reproduction.

The Arena 5 employs two dedicated 133 mm midrange drivers, allowing these critical frequencies to be reproduced independently of the woofers. Whether it's a whispered conversation or the intensity of a live performance, the design prioritizes clarity and tonal integrity.

28 mm Tweeter — The Finishing Touch

A dedicated 1.1-inch tweeter handles high-frequency reproduction, contributing the fine detail and definition needed to complete the listening experience.

Crossover points at 375 Hz and 2,700 Hz distribute the audio signal across the speaker's three frequency bands.


A True Loudspeaker Enclosure, Hidden Within the Wall

High Fidelity Custom Installations Speakers | Sonus faber

The enclosure is an essential part of a loudspeaker's acoustic design. The Arena 5 takes that responsibility seriously.

Rather than relying on the unpredictable volume and construction of a wall cavity, the Arena 5 incorporates a dedicated sealed enclosure built using wood and aluminum.

This controlled acoustic environment provides a consistent foundation for the drivers and helps system designers achieve more predictable results across different installations.

The sealed-box architecture is particularly valuable in custom home theater projects, where multiple loudspeakers must work together as a cohesive system.

The advantage: the Arena 5 brings its own engineered acoustic enclosure into the wall, rather than asking the wall to become the enclosure.


Powerful Sound. Minimal Architectural Footprint.

At 41.65 inches tall and just 11.81 inches wide, the Arena 5 features a tall, narrow form factor that can be incorporated into a variety of custom theater layouts.

Its 3.93-inch mounting depth makes it possible to achieve substantial loudspeaker performance without the projection of a traditional cabinet into the room, subject to the installation's structural and clearance requirements.

An optional square magnetic grille provides a clean, discreet finish while protecting the speaker components.

The result is an architectural loudspeaker designed to complement a carefully considered interior, allowing the screen, furnishings, lighting, and finishes to define the visual experience.

The Arena 5 is designed for installations where loudspeaker performance must meet the demands of a dedicated cinema.

Its 90.6 dB sensitivity and recommended amplifier power of up to 300 watts give system designers flexibility when selecting appropriate amplification. The nominal 4-ohm impedance should be considered when choosing an amplifier capable of delivering the necessary current and maintaining control during demanding passages.

When combined with properly selected subwoofers, bass management, acoustic treatment, and professional calibration, the Arena 5 can form part of a sophisticated multichannel system tailored to the room's dimensions and listening positions.


Part of the Sonus faber Arena Collection

The best brand of speakers for home theater - Prestige Audio

Every home theater presents a different set of acoustic and architectural challenges.

The Sonus faber Arena collection provides a family of architectural loudspeakers designed to accommodate different room sizes, speaker positions, and performance requirements while maintaining the brand's Natural Sound philosophy.

The Arena 5 expands the collection with a five-driver, three-way design that offers increased driver capacity compared with smaller models in the range.

Whether incorporated into a dedicated private cinema or a high-performance media room, the Arena 5 allows the system to be designed around the space without making conventional loudspeaker cabinets a defining element of the interior.
