Pascal Acquires WorxAudio from Fender and Appoints Hugh Sarvis to Lead New Blaze Audio Loudspeaker Development Team

In what is certainly great news for all other OEM amplifier companies, Pascal A/S of Copenhagen, Denmark, which recently had decided to compete directly with its former amplifier clients with the launch of Blaze Audio, is now also going to sell speakers, competing directly with what last clients it still had. To push forward with this strategy, Pascal acquired the former WorxAudio IP from Presonus/Fender and hired its veteran team, led by Hugh Sarvis.

Crown Audio announced its new Empower by Crown initiative, a new embedded amplifier program to provide third-party active loudspeaker manufacturers of finished product with special access to its portfolio of amplifier technology. The new Empowered by Crown Amplifier modules are built on the proprietary DriveCore platform and are designed for integration into virtually any loudspeaker configuration and application.
