From everyday listeners to the most discerning audiophiles, here are five reasons why Nakamichi is the ultimate choice for anyone who craves an extraordinary home theater solution beyond the fixed industry formula of soundbar surround sound.
#1
A Legacy of Audio Excellence:
77 Years of Innovation
Imagine a master watchmaker, carefully refining timepieces for generations, ensuring every gear and mechanism works in harmony. That’s the spirit of Nakamichi.
Over the years, the Dragon series cemented our legacy with groundbreaking products like the Dragon Cassette Deck (1982), Dragon Turntable (1985), and Dragon CD Player (1996)—each setting new benchmarks for performance. We are proud to continue this tradition with the Nakamichi DRAGON 11.4.6 Home Surround Sound System, delivering an immersive audio experience like never before.

Revolutionary Technology Leadership: Always a Step Ahead
We don’t follow trends—we create them.
As an audio disruptor, we’ve introduced numerous world-first innovations that have reshaped home theater:
Dual Subwoofers: Nakamichi pioneered the concept of a soundbar with two subwoofers, first introduced with the launch of Shockwafe Ultra 9.2 and Elite 7.2 in 2018. To this day, we remain the only brand to offer this feature, ensuring cinema-like bass performance in your home.
11.4.6 Wireless System, Powered by Pro-Cinema Engine: DRAGON is the world's only 11.4.6 system, equipped with a state-of-the-art engine that is capable of outputting up to 24.1.10 channels for Dolby Atmos and 30.1 channels for DTS:X Pro.
Revolutionary 6 Height Channels: The Shockwafe Wireless 11.2.6 Soundbar System features six height channels alongside our self-developed AHD Ultra height processing mode, delivering next-level spatial depth and dimensionality.
