Nakamichi unveiled its new Shockwafe Wireless 11.2.6 Dolby Atmos and DTS:X wireless surround sound system at CES 2025, and I was treated to a demo at the company's showcase suite in the Bellagio hotel. The company has been developing this range since it launched the Shockwafe Ultra 9.2 in 2018, and this soundbar system has gained plenty of new tricks (and more audio channels) in the following seven years.
This new system sits below the Dragon 11.4.6 system that we reviewed in April of last year, and it carries a slightly cheaper price tag of $2499 (around £2050 / AU$4060) in the United States with shipping available to the UK and Australia for an additional fee. Think of this new Shockwafe as the Dragon's little brother, as it carries many of the same traits, features and design language, at a slightly scaled-down size.
