The Companies Behind Integra Research
"Sound is 50% of the experience." -George Lucas, creator of Star Wars	"The aim was sound quality that approaches that of typical high-end amplifiers." -Victor Khomenko, Chief Engineer, Balanced Audio Technology	"Now users can have in their home the same digital conversion system used in the mastering of many major Hollywood movie soundtracks." -Paul Yurt, Senior Design Engineer, Apogee Electronics Corporation
Created originally as a studio reference monitoring tool, the Home THX Ultra System combines THX Ltd. expertise with world-class product design. All Integra Research components are THX Ultra certified. THX Ultra certification is your guarantee you're getting the world's highest performance home theater products. In 1982, George Lucas challenged a group of engineers to permanently raise the quality of theatrical presentation. After more than 20 years, and more than 3000 THX certified theaters worldwide, only the size of the audience has changed. Today, more people applaud the THX experience in more venues than ever. From multi-plex theaters to the world's most discerning homes, the THX brand stands for the same thing-the best investment in entertainment that your money can buy. Which is why, today, THX products are more that a standard of technical excellence. They are your guarantee of the ultimate home theater experience.	Balanced Audio Technology, founded in 1995, has rapidly established an enviable and difficult-to-achieve position in the competitive high-end audio industry. They are known for producing a line of superbly engineered meticulously crafted audio products that recreate music with unmatched fidelity and accuracy. Balanced Audio Technology's success is the result of its clear mission: to reproduce music faithfully and precisely, with arresting presence and without extraneous coloration. Their trademark audio designs feature uncommonly robust power supplies, coupled with elegantly straightforward signal paths. This combination is evident in the BAT-designed Integra Research RDA-7.1 Power Amplifier. It boasts over 600 joules of energy storage in a beautifully direct, low-feedback symmetrical circuit. Which means your DVD movies and music will come alive as never before.	Apogee Electronics Corporation, founded in 1985 in Santa Monica California , is a world leader in professional digital-audio conversion systems. Today, Apogee-developed technology is used by nine out of ten major US mastering studios, and on over 80% of hit records mastered in the USA. Major Hollywood movies rely on Apogee equipment for their high-quality digital-audio production requirements. Blockbusters such as Gladiator, Titanic, The X Files, U-571, and The Price of Egypt, to name but a few used Apogee converters. The reason is simple. The better the converter, the better the sound. With a surround-sound home theater system and sources like high-resolution DVD-Audio and Super Audio CD, the accuracy of the digital converter is even more critical. The highly precise phase relationship between all of the speakers must be maintained. If you don't have accurate clocking at 96,000 or 192,000 samples per second, you won't hear an accurate representation of what was mixed originally. Thanks to the renowned accuracy of the Apogee clock, you'll experience unprecedented pinpoint imaging in your home theater, and enjoy a new clarity in all your music.
