Why Integra Remains the Most Trusted Name in Custom Integration

Integra has been synonymous with high fidelity since 1969, when the name identified industry-leading flagship amplifiers. Thirty years later in 1999, Integra launched as a standalone brand dedicated to emerging home installation markets with a range of solutions that dealers and installers could stake their reputations on.

Because of our close relationship with these professionals, the Integra lineup continues to evolve organically with the needs of a rapidly changing marketplace while exceeding the high expectations of our customers.

At the same time, we’ve led the industry by demonstrating how state-of-the-art technologies can improve lifestyles in tangible ways. We’ve powered innovation and backed it up with swift and reliable support. This philosophy has established Integra as a dominant player in tailored home entertainment solutions.

The reasons for Integra’s success go beyond continual research and development and into the relationships formed with the professionals who integrate our components into modern homes, and with the people who use them.

Integra owners understand what our name really means: passion without compromise. Our engineers love music and film. They’re always looking for new ways to share that obsession by combining hard-won experience with the know-how of our industry partners, so music and film enthusiasts can enjoy superior entertainment.

It goes without saying that Integra reproduces the audio and video source without loss, faithful to the original in every respect, and brimming with emotion intended by musicians and film directors alike.

Every part, every circuit, every detail has been measured against Integra standards. If it doesn’t pass muster, we build our own. We meticulously engineer Integra components to ensure that no matter how hard they’re driven, they exceed expectations effortlessly. The core value of all Integra products can be concisely summed up as “over-built”.

Abundant connections in a variety of interfaces make integration easy with new and existing control systems. Initial setup is streamlined and daily operation simplified for a more satisfying overall experience.

Other brands may deliver respectable sonic performance, but few can match our holistic end-to-end approach to design or our decades of market experience, which delivers home entertainment that’s not only transcendent, but also makes daily operation a pleasure.

If you’re serious about delivering best-in-class integrated home entertainment, there’s only one choice you can make with confidence: Integra—trusted by home installation professionals for delivering seamless and immersive entertainment to discerning enthusiasts.

Integra was born in 1969. Onkyo coined the name to delineate a line of its high-performance integrated amplifiers, and the name evolved to indicate the exclusive status of various Onkyo components over the years. Ultimately, the Integra logo graced only the very best products our engineers could dream up. Even as products diversified from analog into digital, and from stereo into multichannel, Integra’s roots in hi-fi were never forgotten. Today, our name represents a legacy of excellence and a future of innovation as we strive for the pinnacle in audio-video performance.

Fast-forward to late 1998, and Onkyo was poised to merge Integra into a new Onkyo-branded line. Instead, Onkyo launched Integra as a stand-alone brand. In 1999, the first receivers to bear the Integra name shipped to market. Although they cosmetically resembled sister products in the Onkyo line, the second generation featured the iconic scalloped and concave faceplate. It’s the DNA of our current bold look. From that point forward, Integra began to shape itself inside and out as a professional solution suited to custom home integrations.

Having identified a demand for premium AV components with requisite performance, reliability, and flexibility to meet specific needs, Integra set its sights on the custom installation market. Within three years, we had built a dealer base equal in size to that of our main competitor in half the time. Integra soon grew to become the largest demand line in the custom integration channel. To ensure our end-users were met with the best possible sales and service experience, we set tight access restrictions on our product line, yet grew to become one of the most installed component lines in the world.
