Nakamichi has unveiled the highly anticipated Shockwafe Wireless, the latest addition to its renowned Shockwafe soundbar lineup. Designed from the ground up, this innovative system is set to transform how audio is experienced in the home.

Since its debut in 2018 with the Shockwafe Ultra 9.2 DTS:X recognized as the first plug-and-play soundbar system featuring an impressive 9 channels and 2 subwoofers Nakamichi has consistently pushed the envelope of soundbar technology. With the introduction of the Shockwafe Wireless 11.2.6, the company takes a monumental leap forward, showcasing an exclusive 11.2.6 channel configuration powered by 31 Danish-engineered Punktkilde speaker drivers, including cutting-edge dual 10″ wireless subwoofers.

This latest iteration of the Shockwafe series redefines soundbar performance, delivering a multi-layered acoustic dome that brings pristine vocals and an authentic 360-degree cinema experience to life. Utilizing Nakamichi’s proprietary 6 discrete height channel configuration, a first in the industry, this system recreates breathtaking overhead sound effects that truly envelop the listener. With an unrivaled price-to-performance ratio, the Shockwafe Wireless transforms any listening space into an audio haven in just 30 minutes.

Raising the Bar on Surround Sound

The Shockwafe Wireless 11.2.6 combines state-of-the-art hardware with advanced processing capabilities, offering a cinematic experience that rivals dedicated home theater systems—all within a simple plug-and-play setup. Featuring 31 Punktkilde drivers, including 9 precision-engineered tweeters, this system delivers unmatched sound accuracy and fidelity. Drawing inspiration from Scan-Speak, a leader in loudspeaker transducers, these drivers create a balanced surround sound field with enhanced dynamic range, making every audio detail come alive.

The system’s six dedicated height channels work harmoniously with Nakamichi’s Adaptive Height Dispersion (AHD) technology, which was originally introduced in the award-winning DRAGON Home Surround Sound System. For the first time, Shockwafe Wireless introduces AHD Ultra, a groundbreaking processing mode that redefines height speaker performance, sculpting an extraordinary 3D soundscape. This technology unlocks the full potential of the height channels, delivering an immersive acoustic canopy that sets a new benchmark in object-based audio.

Innovative Design and Performance

The Shockwafe Wireless soundbar boasts a striking 54” chassis with a futuristic design. The central arch houses 3” full-range drivers that enhance dialogue clarity and warmth, while side surround channels are strategically placed in dedicated chambers for optimal sound dispersion. With a total of 19 Punktkilde speaker drivers within the soundbar, the front soundstage delivers powerful audio performance that surpasses anything else in its class.

Adding to its immersive capabilities, the soundbar features independent front and middle height channels. Each channel is equipped with up-firing full-range drivers and custom-designed tweeters that provide stunning overhead effects and crystal-clear treble. This combination creates vertical soundscapes that bring cinematic scenes to life with unparalleled immersion.

Surround speakers equipped with a multi-directional array design utilize 5 Punktkilde drivers to generate a seamless wall of sound, blending height, side, and rear channels with pinpoint accuracy. Each surround speaker features a pair of tweeters that capture high frequencies with breathtaking precision, while a bipolar configuration enhances audio separation and spaciousness.

In AHD Ultra mode, the dedicated upfiring 3” full-range driver on each surround speaker amplifies vertical effects to unprecedented levels, delivering a vivid, multidimensional sonic experience that transports listeners into the heart of the action.

Unmatched Bass and Connectivity

In a pioneering achievement, Nakamichi remains the only brand in the industry to offer dual subwoofers in a single package. The fully upgraded 10” Punktkilde-powered subwoofers deliver low frequencies with unmatched precision and power. Designed with a flared slot port to optimize airflow, these subwoofers ensure smooth bass delivery, allowing for deep rumbles and explosive sounds to be experienced with clarity and authority.

Connectivity is equally impressive, with the Shockwafe Wireless featuring an Enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC) and two HDMI inputs for seamless 8K60fps/4K120fps passthrough. The system supports leading content formats such as Dolby Atmos®, Dolby Vision®, and DTS:X®, while wireless streaming capabilities—including Apple AirPlay 2 and Bluetooth 5.3—allow for uninterrupted access to a diverse range of content.

Pre-Order Information

The Nakamichi Shockwafe Wireless 11.2.6 Soundbar System is now available for pre-order at $2,499 through the Nakamichi Official Web Store. With this groundbreaking system, Nakamichi continues to set the standard for soundbar technology, promising an unparalleled audio experience that is sure to captivate home entertainment enthusiasts everywhere.

I was playing vinyl when I was 3 years old. There was a song from the Rubettes that I liked a lot "Sugar Baby Love". My mother still cherishes the photo of me spinning that record! The audiophile was born. As an adult the video enthusiast in me woke up, making professional corporate movies. Here, at "Best of high end", I can indulge my audiovisual senses.
