Magnetar USA Joins Home Technology Association
Temecula, CA – April 1, 2025 – Magnetar, a leading provider of premium media players for audiophiles and cinephiles who demand uncompromising performance, today announces that the company has joined the Home Technology Association (HTA) as a Platinum Supporting Brand.
Since its founding, the HTA has worked to elevate the home technology industry by defining a rigorous standard of excellence for integration companies. HTA Certification ensures that integration firms meet the highest levels of technical excellence, customer service, aftercare, and business ethics. For integrators, HTA’s programs offer credibility and visibility; for homeowners and trade professionals, HTA is a trusted guide to finding qualified and vetted technology partners.
As a Platinum Supporting Brand, Magnetar joins a select group of manufacturers and service providers committed to the HTA mission of enhancing homeowner satisfaction and system performance through collaboration with innovative, design-forward integrators. The HTA also empowers other trade professionals – including architects, designers, and builders – with the tools needed to select and work more efficiently with integrators who can seamlessly incorporate robust technology solutions directly into their projects.
“The Home Technology Association is proud to welcome Magnetar as an HTA Supporting Brand,” said Josh Christian, CEO, Home Technology Association. “In an era dominated by streaming services, Magnetar’s dedication to extracting every ounce of performance from physical media stands out as a much-needed solution. We often compare relying on streaming-only content in a premium home theater to fueling a supercar with low-grade gasoline—it will run, but never at its true potential. Magnetar’s reference-level universal disc players bring that missing piece of the puzzle, so discerning viewers and listeners can finally enjoy the highest-quality sights and sounds they have invested in. We’re excited to partner with Magnetar to highlight the importance of an integrator’s design and technical expertise and ultimately deliver unparalleled cinematic and musical experiences to homeowners.”
“We are proud to align Magnetar with the Home Technology Association and its powerful community of elite technology professionals,” said Rob Jones, President of Magnetar USA. “HTA has set the gold standard for what it means to deliver excellence in home technology, and we see tremendous value in partnering with an organization that is as steadfastly dedicated to performance, precision, and long-term customer satisfaction as we are. This partnership further reinforces our commitment to elevating the home entertainment experience for everyone and will help integrators confidently specify our products as part of reference-grade theater systems.”
