Anker Japan has released the "Soundcore Nebula P1," a home theater system that pairs a projector with a set of detachable dual speakers, under its audio and visual brand Soundcore on February 18, 2026[1]. The speakers can be removed from the projector body and placed freely on either side of the projection surface. The price is 149,900 yen including tax[1].
A New Idea: Detachable Dual Speakers
The defining feature of the Nebula P1 is the pair of detachable speakers built into the projector body. Anker Japan describes this design as a world first, based on its own research as of January 2026[1].
A typical projector plays sound through speakers built into the main unit, so the sound tends to originate from a single point near the screen. The Nebula P1 separates the speakers from the body and connects them wirelessly, letting users place them anywhere in the room[1]. Positioning the speakers on the left and right of the projection surface spreads sound from both directions across the entire room, creating a soundstage that extends even beyond the edges of the screen[1].
The two speakers deliver a combined 20W of output and support Dolby Audio for surround sound[1]. The ability to build a three-dimensional soundstage from the unit alone, without adding a separate soundbar or external speakers, is what sets it apart from conventional portable projectors[2][3].
A Large Screen up to 180 Inches and Image Correction Technology
On the visual side, the projector offers 650 ANSI lumens of brightness and Full HD resolution (1920 x 1080), supporting a large screen of up to 180 inches[1]. The brightness level is calibrated for evening viewing indoors, and the company says it can render fine detail brightly even on a large screen[1].
To handle fast-moving footage, the projector includes a proprietary engine called "NebulaMaster" and a frame interpolation technology called "MEMC"[1]. NebulaMaster automatically detects noise and corrects the image, while MEMC reduces motion blur by interpolating between frames[1]. These features are aimed at content where afterimages are noticeable, such as sports broadcasts and action movies.
The software runs on Google TV, so streaming apps such as Netflix, Prime Video, and YouTube can be used directly from the unit[3].
Flexible Placement and Usability
The body uses a built-in gimbal that moves up to 130 degrees vertically, supporting projection onto a ceiling as well as a wall[1]. In addition, a proprietary technology called "IEA 4.0" applies automatic keystone correction in both vertical and horizontal directions along with autofocus, eliminating the need to manually fine-tune image distortion and focus each time the unit is moved[1].
The detachable speakers charge simply by returning them to the projector body after use[1]. About 3 hours of charging supports up to 20 hours of playback, so users can enjoy movies and long content without worrying about running out of power[1]. The figure of up to 20 hours is a guideline measured at 50 percent volume, and actual playback time varies with volume and usage conditions[1].
Price and Points to Note Before Buying
The price is 149,900 yen including tax, and the product is sold through the Anker Japan official online store, Anker Store retail locations, Amazon.co.jp, Rakuten Ichiba, and some consumer electronics retailers[1].
One point worth keeping in mind when considering a purchase is that the projector body has no built-in battery and requires a connection to a power source to operate[3]. The battery is housed in the detachable speakers, and the main unit is designed for stationary use. Anyone considering it for outdoor portability should choose with this specification in mind.
Summary
The Soundcore Nebula P1 is a product that raises the immersive quality of a home theater from both the visual and audio sides through the new idea of detachable dual speakers. It also pays attention to ease of setup with features such as projection up to 180 inches and automatic keystone correction. Given that it is a stationary unit without a built-in battery, it is a good fit for those who want to take their time enjoying video at home.
