Immersive, customizable surround sound from Integra

Looking for a high-performance home theater receiver you can make part of your custom-installed home A/V system? The DRX-2.4 offers clean power for up to seven speakers at a time, along with a bevy of installer-friendly features for integration into a surround system tailored to your home.

Unique installation and control features

The DRX-2.4 offers several advanced features that aren't commonly found on home theater receivers in this price range. It works with optional IP-based control and automation systems like Crestron®, Control4®, Savant, and ELAN®. This receiver can also be used with network monitoring systems like OvrC Pro and Domotz.

I especially like that the back panel is white, which helps make connection points easy to spot — especially if you're peering over your A/V cabinet or equipment rack to plug in a cable.

Advanced video processing for movies and gaming

Integra equipped the DRX-2.4 with the latest video technology. Three of its six HDMI inputs support crisp 8K/60 and 4K/120 video content — perfect for high-quality sources like a 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray player, an Apple TV, or your next-gen gaming system. (The other three inputs support 4K/60 video content.) 

Play music from a variety of sources

The DRX-2.4 lets you stream tunes from your phone or tablet via Bluetooth, Apple AirPlay 2, or Chromecast built-in. You can also play your collection of digital music files over your Wi-Fi network or use the built-in phono input for your turntable. You can even play high-resolution tracks from a USB drive.
