Integra has just released its new lineup of home theater receivers and preamplifier/processors. The four new network-capable A/V receivers and two preamplifier/processors include Integra's first 9.2-channel audio systems for the ultimate in home theater sound or expanded multi-room capabilities for custom installers and systems integrators.
The DTR-70.1 is a THX certified system that includes Audyssey DSX and Dolby ProLogic IIz soundstage expansion technologies, ISF certified calibration controls, and up to eight HDMI 1.3a inputs for maximum video connectivity. All six models have advanced networking capabilities for streaming content from Pandora, Rhapsody, vTuner, and Sirius Internet Radio services. All the models are compatible with Windows 7 and are certified with DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) version 1.5, ensuring optimal compatibility with other network-enabled equipment throughout the home. Finally, all models but the DTR-40.1 receiver also include USB connectivity, further increasing the streaming audio options from either personal computers or USB-enabled portable devices.
Integra's DTR-70.1 A/V receivers has 9.2-channel audio capabilities for the expanded soundstage reproduction of the new Audyssey DSX and Dolby ProLogic IIz processor formats. The Dolby system generates two front 'height' channels, while Audyssey's format generates either two front 'height' or 'stereo-wide' channels. This receiver boasts nine powerful built-in amplifier sections, with as much as 145 Watts per channel, and the option to bridge two channels, doubling power to the main front speakers.
Like all Integra products, they include many features engineered specifically for custom installation professionals and systems integrators, such as bidirectional Ethernet and RS-232 control, and advanced multizone capabilities. Receiver amplifiers can be retasked to power stereo speakers in a second, third, or even fourth zone, and there are Zone 2/3 subwoofer outputs. Many models include component video output for Zone 2, as well as power-on and max-volume settings for additional zones. All models include selectable 12-volt triggers with adjustable delay, IR inputs and outputs, and PC-based setup via RS-232 or the Ethernet with lockable storage and recall of independent dealer settings to streamline setup and troubleshooting of systems in the field. Finally, three of the new models (the DHC-80.1, DTR-80.1 and DTR-70.1) include Audyssey MultEQ Pro compatibility, giving professional sound calibrators the most powerful setup tools available
