Nakamichi now in India

One of the world’s premiere manufacturers of high quality audio/video and multimedia equipment has now come to India.

Meeting the needs of an expanding and cultured world market, Nakamichi has crafted the SoundSpace series, a new category of design-driven audio systems inspired by architecture’s use of glass, metal and textures. Based on the criteria of value to user, aesthetics, contributions to quality of life as well as the product’s innovative qualities, the SoundSpace series is the recipient of the innovation 2000 awards honor product excellence in design and engineering.

The SoundSpace series was designed to enhance and complement any decor- from the bedroom to the boardroom. The SoundSpace 21 represents the flagship of the SoundSpace series and sets a new standard in home theatre performance and design. Like the SoundSpace 10, the SoundSpace 21 comes complete with an A/V Tuner/Processor with built-in DTS and Dolby Digital surround sound processing circuity and Nakamichi’s exclusive 5-disc Music Bank DVD/CD Changer.

However, unique to the SoundSpace 21 are the four speakers (Front L/R and Surround L/R) that come complete with their own motorized ‘speaker track’ system that allows the user to select the vertical angle to best suit the viewing or listening position. Dual-active subwoofers, center channel speaker and convenient-to-use touch-panel remote control completes the package.

“We call our SoundSpace series ‘design driven audio’ because it reflects our desire to provide the ultimate in system design and performance. To refer to them as ‘clock radios’ or ‘stereo units’ does not do them justice,” remarked Ted Nakamichi, MD, Nakamichi Corporation.

Dean Miller, president of Nakamichi America Corporation says “It’s a great honor for the first three Nakamichi products in the SoundSpace line to be chosen for the Innovation award. It not only sets a high standard by which our future SoundSpace products will be judged but also gives our engineers and designers reason and the will to have to strive to surpass the current products in future SoundSpace offering.”

Nakamichi in India plans to leverage its expertise in the audio/visual industry to bring new and exciting products to the Home Audio CD Systems, DVD Players, Mobile Sound for car audio which includes 6-disc CD changer, Plasma TV and Home Theatre Systems.

In 1994, beginning with an adaptation of its world famous DVD changer Music Bank CD Changer, Nakamichi introduced a CD-ROM changer for the computer industry that set a new price/performance standard. The products are likely to cost in the range of Rs. 45,000/- to Rs. 3,00,000/- each. The Car audio systems is likely to cost in the range of Rs. 19,000 to Rs. 90,000/- each.

Says Khera, COO, Nakamichi India, “For over fifty years, Nakamichi has delivered top-quality audio products that incorporate sound, style and substance. Nakamichi are the pioneer manufacturers of high-performance car audio, home audio and home theater consumer electronics and now for the first time in India, Nakamichi products will be available at specially audio stores and Nakamichi exclusive outlets.” -
