Danish amplifier manufacturer Blaze Audio has partnered with York-based Tukans to distribute its range of commercial audio products in the UK. Blaze only launched in 2021, but as a subsidiary of Pascal A/S, an OEM manufacturer of amplifier electronics for the pro audio industry, their technologies are already well proven in applications ranging from large-scale sound touring line arrays to studio monitors.

sales manager at Tukans. “The PowerZone Connect amplifiers are packed with features but have been designed to be really easy to configure via their built-in web interface accessible through any smart device with Wi-Fi. Our customers appreciate their lives being made easier and this makes Blaze the cornerstone of our audio offering.” René Bahn, sales manager, Northern Europe at Blaze Audio, added: “As a growing entrepreneurial company, we need to work with distribution partners who share a similar philosophy. Tukans has a great track record of bringing innovative brands to market in the UK and we look forward to working with them and their integration partners to deliver some great projects.” The range of Blaze Audio products are now available from the Tukans’ distribution centre in East Kilbride.
