Note: For best results, use full-range headphones or a system with low-frequency extension. Most phone and laptop speakers cannot reproduce good bass. These recordings illustrate relative bass impact and control. Actual in-room experience will be significantly more physical.

Aerospace-Grade Aluminum Driver

Reinforced with lightweight carbon fiber for exceptional control and authority. From subtle musical passages to epic cinematic moments, low frequencies arrive with remarkable clarity and impact.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is DRAGON a single or dual voltage system?

DRAGON is a dual voltage home cinema surround system that supports both 110-120V and 220-240V. When using DRAGON outside of the USA, you will only need plug adapters for your wall sockets.

Does the 12" subwoofer work outside the US?

Yes, there is a voltage selector on the 12" subwoofer. Before connecting the subwoofer to power, slide the voltage selector to the correct setting for your country.

United States: 115V (DEFAULT)
Europe / United Kingdom: 230V (Countries with 220-240V AC)

Damage resulting from incorrect voltage selection is not covered by warranty.

Is there any calibration feature available?

Calibrate the system for best surround performance by entering the distances of the main unit, surround speakers and subwoofers to the sweet spot via the On-Screen Display (OSD). You can also calibrate volume levels.

I am unable to place the main unit/surround speakers at ear level when I am seated. Can I still enjoy the best audio performance from DRAGON?

The main unit and the bottom speaker driver of the surround speakers should ideally be at ear level for an optimized experience when using DRAGON. However, DRAGON is the world's first plug-and-play home surround sound system that uses AMT tweeters.

AMT tweeters not only reproduce detailed clarity with pinpoint accuracy, they also produce sound that is dispersed over a wider area. This ensures a more spacious soundstage and makes the Nakamichi DRAGON less placement fussy than other solutions, giving you more freedom to position each speaker according to your room setup.

This would mean that you should still be able to enjoy the experience even with the main unit or surround speakers positioned slightly above or below ear level.

Are the surround speakers wireless? Do they have built-in batteries?

The Omni-Motion Reference Surrounds connect wirelessly to the main unit but each speaker must be plugged into a wall socket for power.

If I play older movies or regular music content, will I get surround sound?

Yes, DRAGON utilizes Dolby upmixing technologies to optimize and upmix surround performance to 11.x.6 channels, allowing surround sound to be played through all speakers.

Does DRAGON support 4K120Hz?

As DRAGON supports up to 4K120Hz, you can connect high-bandwidth devices directly to any of its 3 HDMI inputs. The system is capable of transmitting 4K120Hz/8K60Hz to your TV, with Dolby Vision, HDR, HDR10+, VRR, ALLM and FRL passthrough.

How many subwoofers can you pair with DRAGON?

Up to 4 subwoofer cabinets can be paired with the DRAGON Home Surround Sound System.

Possible subwoofer configurations:
- A pair of Dual-Opposing 8" Subwoofers
- Two pairs of Dual-Opposing 8" Subwoofers
- Single/Dual/Triple/Quad 12" Subwoofers
- A pair of Dual-Opposing 8" Subwoofers with Single/Dual 12" Subwoofer(s)

The following configurations will not work:
- 1 x Dual-Opposing 8” Subwoofers with Triple 12” Subwoofers
- 3 x Dual-Opposing 8” Subwoofers with Single 12” Subwoofer

If I have a DRAGON with 2 x Dual-Opposing 8" Subwoofers and purchase the Modular 12" Subwoofer Expansion, will it improve my experience?

Yes. The 12" subwoofer will transform your current system's low-frequency output, delivering a richer and more powerful bass experience. Additionally, the system will dynamically adapt its output based on the paired subwoofers.

For ultimate sound personalization, you can precisely adjust the volume level of each subwoofer type using the On-Screen Display (OSD).

Should I upgrade my firmware if I have not purchased any modular expansion subwoofer(s)?

Our latest firmware update brings AHD Ultra to all DRAGON systems, alongside support for modular 12" subwoofer pairing. If you have not yet updated, follow the instructions on our support page to do so.

Will I need to upgrade my firmware if I purchase a modular subwoofer expansion (e.g. 12" subwoofer)?

If your system was purchased from the Nakamichi Official Web Store after April 2026, it should already be running the firmware required for modular subwoofer pairing. A USB drive with compatible firmware is included with every modular subwoofer expansion purchase in case an update is needed.

Are stands available for the DRAGON surround speakers?

Yes, DRAGON Speaker Stands are available for purchase from the Nakamichi Official Web Store here. Wall mounts are also available and sold separately.

Note: DRAGON Speaker Stands are not compatible with Shockwafe Wireless.

Can I audition DRAGON in a store?

Currently, there is no in-store auditioning of DRAGON available. DRAGON ships directly from Nakamichi's Official Web Store, Amazon, and Best Buy (USA) or B&H (international).

Check out firsthand owner testimonials here.

My TV has no HDMI ARC port. Can I still use it with DRAGON?

Yes, you can still connect your TV, as long as it has an Optical output port. Use an optical cable (sold separately) to connect it to DRAGON's Optical input.

What is AHD?

Adaptive Height Dispersion (AHD) technology works with the 6 discrete height channels to render vertical and overhead sound objects at accurate elevation levels to give the audience the true perception of a multi-altitude space. Get the most immersive height surround performance based on your room acoustics with the Focal, Wide and Ultra modes.

What is AHD Ultra?

AHD Ultra is a proprietary AHD processing mode, introduced together with Shockwafe Wireless. It uses state-of-the-art rendering to unlock the full potential of the height channels, creating an even more immersive sense of depth across all content.

Will every type of content benefit from AHD?

Yes, AHD will upmix and amplify the height effects of all content to deliver optimal height performance.

Can DRAGON work well in a small room?

Yes, DRAGON can be used in all kinds of room environments. DRAGON offers both preset (small/medium/large) and manual room calibration options to optimize for your room.

Each of the subwoofers can be independently activated, allowing for a bass experience that can be tailored to any room's acoustic characteristics and user preference.

Equipped with the PerfectHeight Mechanism, the upfiring drivers on the Omni-Motion Reference Surrounds can be rotated up to 180° for an optimal angle regardless of room shape and seating position.

Can I connect an older device to DRAGON?

Yes, older devices such as CD and DVD players can be connected via the Optical or Aux-In port on DRAGON.

Can I use one remote?

Yes, you can do so by establishing an HDMI-CEC connection between your television and DRAGON. This will allow you to use your television or source device's remote to control the sound system, including power on/off, volume adjustment, and input switching, after initial setup.

Is there a mobile app available for DRAGON?

Yes, the Nakamichi Theater Remote App is available on Apple App Store and the Google Play Store. With the app, unlock remote control functionality, calibrate the system for your room, register your products for warranty, and gain easy access to DRAGON Concierge.
