Customers disagree on the ease of use, with some finding it very easy to use while others say it’s not intuitive.

No need to go to theaters.
This is for nakamichi shockwafe wireless 11.2.6. Not sure why reviews for past nakamichi products are on this posting for the sohockwafe wireless but meh.Any who. I had my eye on this system for the better part of 6 months since announced around February of 2025. Since my old system was annoying me to the point of just throwing it out along with the trash. In comes the Shockwafe almost like a sign from the speaker odds. I left the thought marinade in my head until August, when i pulled the trigger on this. So far…. no regrets….As i said august 1st i ordered it and by the 7th of august, it was sitting at my door. Amazed at the three fairly bulky packages i had to lug in. “lug” is an understatement. Two of the three packages were quite the adventure getting them in the house and down to the room where they are gonna live.The packages themselves were nicely fortified, although the soundbar one had a noticable gash in it but luckily it was not in a critical position.Setting it up was fairly eazy, hooked up the sound bar to my tvs arc port and it “just worked” not sure of if its mandatory, i waited to turn everything on for the first time until i had everything pulled out and all speakers placed.**note i will warn you before you play your first source turn down the volume. Upon turning on soundbar for the very first time. Volume is set at max “30” this system is “llloooouuuudddd”I really hope that with future upgrades they reduce the default volume level to at least half way. I would really hate to attempt a firmware update at 1am only to scare the soul out of everyone at home.Now for the meat and potatoes.Firing up the system for the first time. The sound was…..im sorry but meh. Dont get me wrong the subs are boomy, but there was no “bubble effect” like the hype videos said. Sounded a little flat.But then here comes the “firmware upgrade” the firmware upgrade came in one day in a little usb flashdrive before the whole system showed. I decided to listen to the system “out of the box” for the whole first day. Next day i decided to do the firmware update. Following nakamichi’s instructions, resetting setting right after (watch the max volume) quite literally took 15mins to complete. I watched youtube vids on my phone during this time.After the update, i did notice a significant difference. A “bubble” like difference. I do notice before the update the system would not play nicely with the remote app, after the update, you can do practically anything with it. Hell you can put away the remote it comes with and just use the app. Take a few minutes to do the advanced system calibration through the app it make a further difference. I know alot of people like to dump on nakamichi for being behind the curve on things like mic assisted calibration, or room correction. They probably think with more bells and whistles the more that can go bad. Im all for that thinking.Im also beginning to like what this system does with 2 channel stereo music videos it enhances the music effects and harmonys by putting them on the rear speakers on the fly.The nakamichi theater app….can use some TLC. Two major problems neither are deal breaking but could use some fixing. First is the apps tendency to not be able to sometimes connect to update servers to find updates. although im not sure whether this lies with the soundbar or the app. Every so often the app would fail to connect to update servers due to a wifi disconnection. So i would have to reset wifi connection through soundbar and reconnect by app. Next would be using the custom calibration option. After inputting measurements for speakers, clicking save a loading circle appears and never progresses from there. It seems to update sound bar with calibration measurements cause sound pauses momentarily and sounds different.I know the shockwafe wireless is barely in its infancy, those are the only two issues i found with it. (Yeah first world problems)So for the verdict.if you got the money to blow. And the wife/GF doesn’t want to murder you upon seeing you bring this monster through the door.Do it.(JUST WATCH OUT AFTER RESETTING IT WILL SCARE THE SOUL OUT OF YOU)

OMG, welcome to the theatre
I’ll start by saying that I upgraded from the Nakamichi elite 7.2 system with two surround speakers and two 8″ subs (older model from 3-4 years ago), to the Ultra 9.2.4 (newest model just behind the dragon) and I’m comparing the two, and wow…. What a difference. This is long, but if you are trying to decide if spending the extra cash is worth it, I hope this helps.Bass – the bass is felt vs being heard. The Ultra has very deep bass that shakes the room, just like your favorite theater experience. The elite with the dual 8″ subs were great, but the balance of sound vs bass coming out of them was just slightly off. I didnt feel this way until I heard the 10″ subs and then I really noticed. You would hear what sounded like muffled voices trying to come through the speakers from the elite. I’m a big bass lover when I watch movies. If you like that rattle your windows, feel it in your toes kind of rumble, go with the Ultra. Great power without the voice distortion.Clarity- the highs are so much better with the Ultra. My dad who is hard of hearing commented on the clarity the first time he heard the system. He could actually hear it all, even with the system being turned down a bit. I really had to crank up the elite to get the clarity. That could be due to the 8″ subs always drowning the highs out slightly with too much sound coming through them instead of rumbling low bass. It was a catch 22, I wanted to feel the bass, but by turning it up it would drown out a bit of the highs. It just wasn’t as balanced. I think I was looking for too much bass out of the elite. That’s on me. The elite is more than enough for 90% of home viewers.Surround- this system makes movies so much fun. It’s truly a theater experience. I can’t tell you how many times someone has looked over their shoulder looking for the noice they just heard. It takes scary movies to the next level. If you are a gamer, you can tell what direction something is coming from and respond as needed. Behind you, next to you, in front of you… Very emersive. Yes there are wires, so there’s limitations on how you set it all up depending on your room.Connectivity- this was the game changer. The elite had issues with the Bluetooth from the sound bar to the subs, which means connectivity issues from the sub to the rear speakers. Most of the time it was a non issue. Other times it was maddening and because it was unpredictable, you just never knew what to expect. It is what drove me to the Ultra to be honest. That crackle of the rear speakers and distortion of bad as it would momentarily disconnect drove me insane and nothing seemed to fix it. Though I never changed the frequency that my router ran on (Nakamichi recommended) and to be honest, I shouldn’t have to. When my family replaced their cell phone’s and we were working on transferring data and updating to current software, the elite was rendered almost useless during that time. We also often had to keep the cellphones in the other room to limit any potential Wi-Fi disruption. Crackle, crackle, crackle, went the rear speakers and talk about a very distracting thing to be happening during your favorite F-18 dog fight scene in Top Gun Maverick. The Ultra has had zero issues with connectivity regardless of the phone or router placement. Huge win for Nakamichi. I’m sure the newest elite models have corrected this issue, mine was older.Elite will give you the small town theater experience. Great value, big sound, solid bass, but it takes more adjusting settings to get the most out of it.Ultra will give you more of the iMax experience. Big sound, ease of use with sound settings, and you will feel like you are in the storm vs watching the storm through a window.
