Nakamichi Shockwafe Elite 7.2 and 7.1 eARC delivers customer desired bass and surround upgrades across wider price points, delivering performance that outperforms its rivals.

Nakamichi expands its 2022 soundbar lineup with the Shockwafe Pro 7.1 eARC and Shockwafe Elite 7.2 eARC. Created with the base DNA of the flagship Shockwafe Ultra 9.2 eARC, both models come with Spatial Surround Elevation (SSE) MAX technology, upgraded speaker drivers and amplifier hardware, eARC connectivity, Dolby Atmos®, DTS:X™, Dolby Vision® and Qualcomm® aptX™ HD. The new lineup will further solidify the brand's position as the reference for high-end, plug-and-play Dolby Atmos true surround systems with unmatched performance.

SAN JOSE, Aug. 24, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The preceding Nakamichi Shockwafe SSE Soundbar Series holds the title of the #1 rated Dolby Atmos soundbar with subwoofer from 2017 - 2021, based on 5000+ customer review ratings from Amazon and Best Buy. Nakamichi partnered with existing Shockwafe SSE owners to develop its 2022 Shockwafe lineup, leading with the flagship launch of the Shockwafe Ultra 9.2 eARC back in March. Today, the release of the Pro 7.1 eARC and Elite 7.2 eARC completes the line-up, bringing all desirable upgrades at various price points to the consumer market.

Shockwafe Pro 7.1 eARC: The only Dolby Atmos soundbar with a 10" Subwoofer and true surround sound at its price point

The release of Nakamichi's Shockwafe Pro 7.1 eARC and Elite 7.2 eARC completes its 2022 line-up, bringing desirable upgrades at various price points. This solidifies Nakamichi's position as the reference for high performance, plug-and-play Dolby Atmos Soundbars with unmatched value to performance.

Post this

The Shockwafe Pro 7.1 eARC delivers unparalleled wall-shaking bass from a fully boosted 10" high output subwoofer, with a peak power output of up to 300W, effortlessly delivering bass notes as low as 30Hz.

Every speaker in the system is upgraded. The custom designed extended range twin-cone drivers and silk dome tweeters deliver lifelike, true 360° cinema surround with full-bodied dialog. The Shockwafe Pro 7.1 eARC also incorporates high output amplifiers capable of delivering up to 850W of total system power, enveloping its listeners with a cinema experience as loud as 108dB SPL.

Priced at just $899.99, the Shockwafe Pro 7.1 eARC outperforms its rivals on surround sound, bass as well as price to performance ratio.

Shockwafe Elite 7.2 eARC: Brand-exclusive dual subwoofer configuration with eARC

Taking inspiration from the multiple subwoofers configuration popularized by cinemas, the Shockwafe 7.2 eARC comes with dual 8" high output subwoofers. These elevated subwoofers evenly pressurize the room with intense low frequency energy. The 450W subwoofer power output will turn the entire room into a sweet spot, delivering immense shockwaves of palpable subterranean bass as low as 25Hz.

Like its smaller cousin, the Shockwafe Elite 7.2 eARC comes with upgraded custom designed extended range twin-cone drivers and silk dome tweeters, projecting a large sound capsule that transports its listeners to the center of the action.

With up to 1000W of accessible power generated by its high output amplifiers, the Shockwafe 7.2 eARC is capable of up to 110dB of breathtaking cinema sound.

Retailing at $1299.99, the Shockwafe 7.2 eARC is touted as the most affordable dual subwoofer setup with eARC, delivering chest thumping bass performance sought after by home theater aficionados.

In addition, The Shockwafe Pro 7.1 and Elite 7.2 eARC carry over the same high-performance DNA as its flagship cousin, the Shockwafe Ultra 9.2 eARC:

1) Soundbar: Front Row Listening Experience, Anywhere, Every time
Pushing every performance boundary, The Shockwafe eARC series sports a fully upgraded soundbar, featuring custom-designed extended range twin-cone drivers, silk dome surround effects tweeters and high output amplifiers; these work in conjunction to deliver smooth, powerful, crystal-clear sound with a wide soundscape that ensures every audience member has the best seat in the house. The supercharged soundbar and surround speakers are encased in a premium, matte black chassis.

2) SSE MAX Surround Processing Technology
SSE MAX is a state-of-the-art architecture that fuses precision-tuned, high-performance hardware with Nakamichi's exclusive SSE surround processing software, first featured in previous Shockwafe series. This perfect convergence of power, processing, and performance delivers the most immersive 360° movie, music, and gaming experiences possible.

3) Future-proof Connectivity
HDMI eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel) enables all Shockwafe eARC soundbars to receive full quality, lossless audio, with 4K HDR and Dolby Vision pass-through to the TV. With 3 HDMI inputs, multiple devices can also be conveniently connected to the soundbar.

4) Dolby Atmos®, DTS:X™ Support
With Dolby Atmos and DTS:X support, the Shockwafe eARC series extracts every detail of surround information from today's content, with the soundbar, surround speakers, and subwoofer(s) collaborating harmoniously to transform every living room into a large sound capsule, with compelling 360° surround directionality.

5) World's first Soundbar series with Qualcomm® AptX™ HD
With all Shockwafe eARC models utilizing Qualcomm aptX™ HD, the Shockwafe eARC is the world's first premium soundbar series that allows listeners to stream their favorite tunes in up to 24-bit music quality from smartphones, tablets, or laptops via Bluetooth 5.0. Even the smallest details of music are captured.
