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.
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 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.
