Product Overview
The Integra DRX-2.4 is designed as the heart of a modern 7.2-channel home cinema. Its low-impedance amplifier section delivers 80 W per channel into 8 ohms, with a robust custom transformer and carefully selected audio components for clean, dynamic power. High-spec HDMI 2.1 connectivity (6 inputs, 2 outputs) supports 8K/60 and 4K/120 passthrough, plus HDR10+, Dolby Vision and advanced gaming features such as VRR and ALLM.
Whether you’re building your first immersive system or upgrading an existing setup, the DRX-2.4 combines serious audio performance with future-ready video and integration features in a single, install-friendly chassis.
Listening Experience
The DRX-2.4 delivers a punchy, immersive and finely controlled soundfield. Dolby Atmos and DTS:X decoding allow you to configure up to a 5.2.2 layout with height speakers for enveloping 3D audio, while Dolby Atmos Height Virtualizer and DTS Virtual:X can simulate height effects even without physical height channels.
Bass is solid and fast, dialog remains clear and focused, and effects move smoothly around the room with excellent precision. For music, the precision DAC and non-phase-shift amplifier topology provide a coherent, open and natural presentation—equally at home with hi-res streaming, TV soundtracks or classic stereo sources.
Dirac Live & Klipsch Optimize Mode
With Dirac Live room correction, the DRX-2.4 measures your room and corrects both frequency and time-domain issues, tightening bass, improving clarity and balancing sound across multiple seats.
Klipsch Optimize Mode adds another layer of integration. Simply select supported Klipsch Reference or Reference Premiere models for each channel in the setup menu, and the receiver applies crossover and configuration values tailored to those speakers. This makes it an exceptionally strong match for Klipsch-based systems, delivering fast, predictable results with minimal tweaking.
Recommended Room Size
The DRX-2.4 is ideal for small to medium-large rooms, where its 7-channel, 80 W-per-channel power section can comfortably drive quality bookshelf or floorstanding speakers plus dual subwoofers. It is equally suited to dedicated media rooms and more open living spaces when paired with appropriately sensitive loudspeakers.
Speaker & System Integration
Flexible configuration options make the DRX-2.4 easy to integrate:
- 5.2.2 Dolby Atmos / DTS:X setups using height or in-ceiling speakers
- 7.2-channel layouts for traditional surround systems
- Zone 2 audio via powered outputs or pre-out for a second room
Klipsch Optimize Mode simplifies setup with selected Klipsch speakers, while low-impedance-capable amplification (4–16 Ω) ensures stable operation with a wide range of modern loudspeakers.
Streaming & Multiroom Audio
The DRX-2.4 doubles as a powerful streaming hub:
- Chromecast built-in and AirPlay 2 for easy casting from phones, tablets and computers
- DTS Play-Fi support for multiroom audio
- Works with Sonos (with compatible Sonos hardware) for seamless integration into Sonos multiroom systems
- Access to popular streaming services (service availability depends on region)
Combined with eARC HDMI, you can transform TV audio, streaming apps and game consoles into a true surround experience with one remote-friendly setup.
