WHERE PERFORMANCE AND DESIGN HARMONIZE

Shockwafe Wireless main unit

Dialogue stays clear and intelligible, even during the busiest scenes. Directional effects move naturally throughout the room, keeping sound precisely connected to the action and drawing you deeper into the experience.

Each surround channel is housed in its own dedicated acoustic chamber, preserving the separation and detail that bring soundtracks to life. The result is an expansive soundstage where sound extends beyond the bar's physical width.

Shockwafe Wireless individual chambers

While other systems concentrate height effects at the front and rear, the exclusive angled height drivers fill the space in between, creating a continuous overhead soundfield.

FEEL THETHUNDERHEAR THEPRECISION

DUAL 10” SUBWOOFERS

While other systems settle for a single subwoofer, Shockwafe Wireless comes equipped with dual 10" wireless subwoofers. The result is a more complete low-frequency foundation, bringing greater depth, balance, and cinematic scale to every scene.

The flared port design improves airflow efficiency, delivering deeper bass with greater refinement and control.

BIPOLAR SURROUNDS

BIPOLAR SURROUNDS

EVERY DIRECTION.EVERY DETAIL.

Most surround systems require six separate surround speakers to achieve this level of immersion. Our bipolar surround speakers recreate the presence of six discrete channels from just two wireless enclosures, surrounding you with a seamless 360° experience.

Our proprietary Adaptive Height Dispersion engine send sound soaring above you with true vertical depth. From aircraft sweeping overhead to rain pouring from the sky, every height effect feels more vivid, convincing, and real.

Adaptive Height Dispersion (AHD)

Nakamichi's proprietary AHD technology adapts Dolby Atmos height effects across four dedicated modes.

Shockwafe Wireless AHD Ultra mode

AHD Ultra:

Maximizes spatial depth and dimension for the most expansive overhead experience.

AHD Wide:

Extends height effects across a wider, more panoramic soundstage.

AHD Focal:

Concentrates height effects toward the center for a more precise overhead presentation..

AHD Off:

Preserves height effects as encoded, without additional spatial adaptation.

Connectivity

PLUG IN ANYTHING. LOSE NOTHING.
