in bringing the two companies together and reinforcing their commitment to quality

Professional. "Blaze Audio's complete lineup of amplifiers and loudspeakers empowers us to deliver
comprehensive audio solutions that better serve our global customers. With this addition, Sonance
aims to make it easier than ever for our dealers to specify complete systems from a single trusted
partner."
Sonance deeply values Blaze Audio & Pascal's Danish heritage and its tradition of amplifier
innovation, which will remain a priority under Sonance's stewardship of the Blaze brand. To that
end, Sonance will maintain a dedicated European office, in Copenhagen Denmark, helping better
service its European customers across all of its brands and sales channels.
"Joining Sonance opens an exciting new chapter for Blaze Audio," said George Tennet, General Manager
of Blaze Audio. "We're thrilled to align with a company that shares our commitment to excellence and
