Following an initial launch in Europe, Blaze Audio is announcing its formal entry into the professional audio market throughout North America. As a subsidiary of Pascal A/S of Copenhagen, Denmark, Blaze Audio enters the field with its PowerZone Connect series of fully matrixed, DSP-loaded network power amplifier products. PowerZone amplifiers enable control from a wide range of smart devices, including phones, tablets and laptop computers. The result, according to Blaze, is the ability to deliver commercial simplicity through product flexibility at competitive price points.

Blaze Audio is on a mission to partner with AV integrators by delivering value that is meaningful to their operations. Part of that value is providing quality commercial audio products with innovative features and flexible operation.

Blaze says that its PowerZone Connect series of power amplifiers are easy to program and facilitate extensive control over the audio. A Wi-Fi router is designed into each product and is immediately accessible to any smart device or laptop with the right credentials. With the goal of constantly expanding the products’ functionality, the latest PowerZone Connect firmware update adds modules/drivers for major third-party control platforms. PowerZone amps can also now take many loudspeaker manufacturers’ EQ presets and load them directly into the amplifier’s DSP settings.
