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.

Offering accurate frequency response and powerful amplification, the original Eris-series studio monitors have been a successful product for PreSonus. Now, a new intermediate model Eris E7 XT offers big, controlled bass in a compact form that will fit into a studio of nearly any size, featuring the same Elliptical Boundary Modeled (EBM) waveguide design by Hugh Sarvis of WorxAudio, and using silk-dome tweeters and 7-inch woofers in a ported enclosure, providing a wider 100-degree horizontal dispersion.

PreSonus announced its new ULT-series active loudspeakers, which combine the widest horizontal dispersion of any loudspeaker in their class with a focused vertical dispersion for an ultra-long throw. The result is even coverage throughout the space, enabling the audience to hear clearly wherever they are.

Since PreSonus Audio Electronics announced the acquisition of WorxAudio Technologies, based in Greensboro, North Carolina, in June 2014, the two companies have been busy working on the integration of PreSonus’ Active Integration technologies and Audinate’s Dante AoIP digital audio networking technology. The first results are now being introduced to the market with new TrueLine line array systems and subwoofers.

PreSonus announced the acquisition of loudspeaker manufacturer WorxAudio Technologies, of Greensboro, North Carolina. WorxAudio designs and manufactures a broad range of line array, point-source, sub-bass, stage monitor, and related loudspeaker systems and accessories.
