Launch of Nakamichi Shockwafe Pro 7.1 - the Industry's 1st Soundbar with 7 Discrete Surround Channels and Side-Firing Surround Effects Tweeters

In 2016, Nakamichi launched the Shockwafe Pro 7.1, the first soundbar of the Shockwafe series. With 18 months of R&D, it was the first soundbar system with 7 discrete surround channels that brought true high-end home theater elements into the small footprint of a plug-and-play soundbar. It also featured revolutionary side-firing front surround effects tweeters that enlarged the soundstage by 35%, redefining soundbar expectations.

The Nakamichi Shockwafe Pro 7.1 (2016) has since been succeeded by it's 2019 counterpart, which includes our proprietary SSE Technology for enhanced movie-listening experiences, can be configured with dual subwoofers, and feature up to 9 discrete surround sound channels.
