## HEAR STORIES

## COME ALIVE

**HiFi Air Motion Tweeters** reveal what other speakers miss — each raindrop on the windowpane, the breath an actor takes before a line. Detail this precise doesn't just sound accurate; it feels present, as if it's right in front of you.

![Dragon HiFi Air Motion Tweeters close-up](https://www.nakamichi-usa.com/v2-assets/_vercel/image?url=https:%2F%2Fmain-site-cms-topaz.vercel.app%2Fapi%2Fmedia%2Ffile%2Fseeddragonmain-unitdragon-amt-closeup.webp&w=3840&q=80)

The **58" stainless steel chassis** gives every driver the space to perform at its full potential, creating the scale and effortless output smaller systems simply cannot match. Real cinema sound starts with physical scale.

![Dragon 58 inch stainless steel chassis close-up](https://www.nakamichi-usa.com/v2-assets/_vercel/image?url=https:%2F%2Fmain-site-cms-topaz.vercel.app%2Fapi%2Fmedia%2Ffile%2Fseeddragonmain-unitdragon-main-unit-closeup.webp&w=3840&q=80)

Exclusive to DRAGON, four **dual-angled upfiring speakers** project height effects across the front and center of the room, creating the sensation of sound pouring from above. The result is a more convincing overhead experience that brings Dolby Atmos soundtracks to life.

  Let me first say this system by far is extremely worth every dime,i went back & forth for over a year deciding if i wanted invest this time of money, the sound the clarity from the AMT tweeters & the 12 inch sub is mind blowing, my system downstairs is almost $20,000 to get this level of performance in this type of package is insane,I will definitely be adding the extra 12 inch sub to make it a dual system i don't need it in anyway because it shacks this room now with precision I'm thinking more of a future proof decision especially with the prices they have right now you can't go wrong, if you are on the fence just you will not regret buying it i have spoken with the Ninja dudes for over a year and the have went above & beyond helping me decide big thanks to all of them.

  The best customer service

  5 out of 5

  The bass was very boomy. I do have a small room and I did not know i am sensitive to lots of bass. In the end I had to return the product for various reasons. But their customer service is top notch and issued me a full refund in a very short time without any question. Thank you Nakamichi for the great experience.

  Wow, what an incredible enhancement to my Dragon system. Wish I had room for two subs, only had room for one and oh boy you can really feel and hear the difference.

  Originally I purchased Shockwafe, loved it then stepped up to Dragon, unbelievable. Just added two twelve inch subwoofers. The sound is incredible absolutely filling the room with out the boom Surround effects listening to Top Gun Maverick again added a new dimension to the sound. This is absolutely a must buy! Thank you Nakamichi for such great products.

  Absolute Bangers!

  5 out of 5

  We’ve had some time to really put the Dragon through its paces now, and we absolutely love it. Adding the second pair of subs and running all four has been fantastic. The system has gone from sounding impressive to being a genuinely physical home-theater experience. The combination of hard-hitting SPL from the four subs and the tactile transducer in our seating makes the big moments something you feel through your whole body, not just hear. A few standouts so far have been War of the Worlds, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, and Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu. All three have been absolutely mind-blowing on the Dragon. War of the Worlds in particular is practically a demonstration disc for what this system can do, while Nosferatu showed just how immersive and atmospheric it can be when the soundtrack is doing something more subtle. We couldn’t be happier with the system. It has completely transformed our home theater, and yes, Inferno Mode gets used! Four subs may sound excessive on paper, but after living with them, there’s no going back. Thanks again to the Nakamichi team for building something this much fun.

  You definitely get what you pay for. You can tell that every detail is a statement that nothing was forgotten or over looked. Bass you feel. Clarity that pierces through. All around balance that brings everything to life. The dolby atmos affect surrounds you and immerses you. The level of control you have over the system fits multiple purposes from movies to music the neighborhood can hear. Best purchase I made this year. I know that it will last for years to come, because of the quality of product. It is worth every penny!!!

  Wow

  My favorite part of the Nakamichi Dragon Dual 12 honestly isn’t even a specific feature—it’s just hearing movies the way they’re supposed to sound. The bass is deep, rich, and powerful without having to crank the volume so high that the dialogue is screaming at you. It really does give you that movie theater feeling at home. The funny thing is, I probably wouldn’t even own this system if it wasn’t for my older son. He started getting really into movies lately and inviting me to go to the theater with him. We went to see one in IMAX, which was actually my first IMAX movie, and I remember thinking, “Okay…now I get it.” 😂 The sound was on a completely different level. I told him afterward, “Yeah, we need this at home.” That’s what sent me down the rabbit hole of looking for a home theater system, and eventually I ended up with the Dragon Dual 12. But my favorite moment was when we watched our first movie with it. I looked over at my son and he had this huge smile on his face. He just looked at me and said, “This sounds GOOD.” That right there made the whole purchase worth it. Now we can get pretty darn close to that IMAX experience at home—and I don’t have to pay $8 for a Coke every time we want to watch a movie. 😂 The Dragon Dual 12 has honestly made watching movies together at home something we look forward to. The sound is huge, the bass is incredible, and it actually feels like a theater instead of just a TV with really good speakers.

## 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 [<u>support page</u>](https://www.support.nakamichi-usa.com/dragon/firmware-upgrade) 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 [<u>here</u>](https://www.nakamichi-usa.com/accessories/dragon-surround-speaker-stands). 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).  
  
[<u>Check out firsthand owner testimonials here</u>](https://www.nakamichi-usa.com/dragon?showReviews=true&is12Sub=true#reviews).

#### 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](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/nakamichi-remote-app/id6450168933) and the [Google Play Store](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nakamichi.dragon.remote&pcampaignid=web_share).
