Nakamichi Unveiled The Best Audio System Money Can Buy!

You spent $2,599.99 on a 75-inch smart TV that knocks your socks off! That’s great, but what’s the point of having a kick-butt TV if your sound system doesn’t stack up? This is where a proper sound system comes in. A great set of speakers can really enhance your movie-watching experience. Well, if you want a stellar sound system to take your home theater to the next level, look no further than the Nakamichi Shockwafe Wireless audio system.

With more than 70 years of experience in the audio business, Tokyo-based Nakamichi is one of the frontrunners in audio. The company specializes in high-quality sound systems that really define the home audio experience. It was the first company to create 3-Head cassette deck, and it’s been paving the way in the audio market ever since.

These systems can reach pretty high in price with prices over $1,000. However, they’re all worth the price. Each of their devices are meticulously crafted to produce an incredible sound. The Shockwafe Wireless system is no different.

The Nakamichi ShockWafe redefines what a soundbar system can do

This is the kind of audio system to get if you want a highly refined and nuanced audio experience. So, if you want a robust experience, you can expect a price to match. The Nakamichi Shockwafe Wireless system costs a wallet-splitting $2,499. It’ll be available for purchase at a later date. The company, unfortunately, didn’t provide the release date. However, if you want to receive updates on the availability, you can join the Interest List.

So, what does $2,500 get you? A whole lot of audio goodness! The Shockwafe Wireless system consists of three parts. There’s the set of two surround speakers, the two subwoofers, and the center of the show, the soundbar.

The soundbar

Starting off with the centerpiece, this is a honey of a soundbar. It’s not like your typical Sonos or JBL soundbar. This one comes equipped with some amazing hardware stuffed inside. It’s a large 54-inch soundbar with high-quality 3-inch Danish Punktkilde drivers on the sides and in the middle. There are drivers that sit on the front of the soundbar and drivers that point upward on either side of the soundbar. All in all, there are an impressive 19 drivers delivering the sound.

The soundbar itself has a futuristic and aesthetically pleasing design that will fit into any home theater setup. It’s sleek, almost like the fighter jet of soundbars. You can see the speakers through the mesh, and some of them have a red dot. The combination of black and red really adds character to the design.

Being the center of the audio setup, this soundbar will provide the most nuanced and balanced audio. The drivers are placed in a way to provide ample air volume. It has a wide sound stage that will immerse you into the audio even without the other surround speakers and subwoofers. Each side has a set of full-range drivers along with a custom-tuned tweeter that adds crystal clear treble.

This combination of top-shelf audio and a killer design makes this one of the best soundbars to get for your home theater. It’s the foundation of the sound that dictates the quality of the entire setup.

Subwoofers

Now, onto the speakers that will provide the bass. This set comes with a pair of 10-inch subwoofers. They produce a sound that’s as deep and rich as you’d expect. Nakamichi was the first audio brand to offer dual subwoofers in its setups, and it continues this tradition now. The set comes with two large subwoofers which does wonders for the audio as a whole.

These drivers are also Punktkilde speakers, so they have the same level of quality as the other speakers. They’re responsible for handling the lower tones, and they do so with great proficiency. They deliver the deep rumbles that draw you into the content you’re watching.

The company redesigned its architecture from scratch so that the speakers reproduce the optimal sound. Also, the speaker’s flared slot port optimizes the airflow. The result is a sound that’s deep and well-balanced. There’s nothing worse than bass that sounds muddy. You can expect clean bass that’s also impactful.

Surround speakers

Now, to tie everything together, we have the set of surround speakers. This is a set of two speakers that will stand behind the listeners. These aren’t called surround speakers for nothing. Each unit has a set of five drivers arranged in a multi-directional orientation. This means that they will properly engross the viewer, making them feel like they’re right in the middle of the action. They’ll be in the passenger’s seat during chase scenes or in the audience during a performance.

Each speaker has a pair of dedicated tweeters that supply the high-pitched tones. Accompanying them is a pair of full-range drivers that fill out the rest of the audio spectrum. Rounding this out, there’s a dedicated up-firing speaker that completes the sound. No matter what you’re watching or listening to, you’ll hear some in-depth audio coming from all around you.

True surround sound

The soundbar, subwoofers, and surround speakers all work in tandem to deliver the absolute best surround sound audio experience. All together, there are 31 top-shelf Punktkilde drivers that supply the sound. There’s no way that your TV’s speaker can properly match the sheer depth and immersion that the Nakamichi ShockWafe Wireless soundbar system can produce.

Both the soundbar and the pair of surround speakers are designed to give you 360-degree audio experience. You’re getting an impressive 11.2.5 channels. With the right TV and the right environment, you bet that you’ll feel fully immersed in the action. All of the 31 drivers work together to hit every inch of the audio spectrum, and you’ll be able to hear it once you fire up your content.

All together, this setup can produce a peak output of 2,300W of power. This means that you’ll expect theater-level punch and impact with your sound. It’s capable of producing 120dB of volume. Frankly put, this isn’t the audio setup for the faint of heart.

Connectivity

If you’re using a setup this powerful, you’ll need to have seamless connectivity. When using the eARC and two HDMI ports, you’ll be able to pass through 8K video at 60fps and 4K at 120fps. This means that you’ll be able to enjoy both your audio and video at their fullest potential. There are also legacy connectivity options like aux-in and optical.

As for the wireless connectivity, you’ll still be able to stream lossless uncompressed audio, which isn’t something that you can typically say about wireless connectivity. The setup supports content formats such as Dolby Atmos, Dolby Vision, and DTS:X. Also, if you want to cast audio directly to the speakers, they’re compatible with Apple AirPlay 2 and Bluetooth 5.3.

What makes this setup even better is the fact that it’s a plug-and-play setup. This means that you won’t have to bother with a complicated setup process. You’ll be up and running in just a half an hour.

Truly the best

There’s no doubt that Nakamichi delivered the pinnacle of home theater audio with the ShockWafe Wireless. Its army of high-quality drivers, professional-grade tuning, unmatched engineering, and vast knowledge of audio make this setup worth every penny. If you have the money to spend, and you want a truly next-level experience, then you should consider joining the Interest list. It will be well worth your time.
