Anker’s Soundcore Nebula X1 Pro Claimed to be World’s First Mobile Theater Station

A projector that can deliver cinema quality visuals and audio in one portable package sounds like a dream for movie nights, backyard gatherings or even camping trips. Anker’s Soundcore Nebula X1 Pro makes this dream a reality, combining 4K laser projection with 7.1.4-channel Dolby Atmos sound system into one sleek mobile unit.

Portability usually means sacrificing quality but the Nebula X1 Pro defies this trend. Its triple-laser optical engine produces 3,500 ANSI lumens which is bright enough to shine in daylight or under the stars. The 4K resolution combined with 14-element all-glass lens produces sharp distortion free images that last over time, unlike plastic lenses which can yellow or warp. A 6-blade dynamic iris adjusts brightness in real time, 5,000:1 native contrast ratio and up to 56,000:1 dynamic contrast. So scenes pop with deep shadows and bright highlights whether you’re watching a dark thriller or a colorful animated movie. The NebulaMaster Image Processing Engine enhances colors and details to make each frame look lifelike.

Most projectors have struggled with audio, relying on built-in tiny speakers or clunky external systems. The Nebula X1 Pro raises the bar with a 400-watt 7.1.4-channel Dolby Atmos system. Seven horizontal channels, a subwoofer and four overhead channels surround you with sound from deafening explosions to tiny raindrops. Two 5.25-inch woofers with 20mm long-throw diaphragms produce bass as low as 38Hz which you can feel in your chest. Highs remain clear up to 20kHz thanks to advanced magnets and copper shorting rings. So the sound is rich and balanced, rivaling dedicated home theater systems.


FlexWave, a advanced spatial audio calibration technology, takes audio to the next level. Four built-in microphones measure the acoustics of your room, listener position and sound reflections off the walls. The technology then adjusts EQ and channel settings in real time so you get the best sound no matter where you are. As you move from the couch to the floor, FlexWave adjusts the music to keep you in the sweet spot. The Nebula X1 Pro feels like it knows your every move, delivering consistent clarity and immersion.

Setting up a home theater means dealing with wires, mounting and calibration. The Nebula X1 Pro simplifies this with a design that’s both practical and unique. Built-in wheels and a telescopic handle makes it easy to move, whether you’re moving it into the living room or out to the backyard. When not in use, the wireless speakers—two front satellites and two rear surrounds—fold inside the unit and can be turned on with a single button press. They sync up within 100 feet with no lag and have up to 8 hours of battery life. The projector itself has a 6.6ft retractable power cord and a sensor-lit accessory storage compartment to keep everything organized and within reach.


Soundcore’s A.I. Spatial Adaptation automates autofocus, keystone correction, obstacle avoidance and screen fit with a single button press. A micro gimbal allows the projector to tilt up to 25 degrees and optical zoom accommodates screen sizes from 13 to 22 feet away, up to 200 inches diagonal. Ambient light and wall color adaption ensures the image looks great on any surface, including a white wall and an inflatable screen. Soundcore offers 10ft and 16.7ft inflatable screens made of fire-resistant PVC-coated mesh. They can be inflated in 5 minutes with a battery-powered pump and their sealed design keeps them taut for days without noisy fans.


The Nebula X1 Pro is a streaming beast, powered by Google TV and has Netflix and over 10,000 apps built-in. A single HDMI port, two USB-C ports and one USB-A port to connect gaming consoles, Blu-ray players and phones. The projector is IP43 dust and water resistant and the speakers are IP54 rated so it’s durable indoors and outdoors. The liquid cooling technology keeps the projector almost silent so you can focus on the content. The wireless speakers can be attached to the inflatable screen or stand on foldable legs or tripod mounts for flexibility in placement. A calibration tool uses tones to adjust speaker location so the 7.1.4 audio configuration is perfectly balanced. Even in audio-only Bluetooth mode, the system is a powerful speaker for music.


The Nebula X1 Pro costs $4,999.99 MSRP, with Kickstarter pre-orders starting at $2,999, but it’s a bargain compared to standard home theater systems that require many components. The combination includes a 200-inch inflatable screen, which is now discounted by up to 47%. With over $4.2 million raised and a limited number of units remaining, demand is tremendous. Shipping is scheduled for late 2025, with retail availability in March 2026.
