Danish company, DPA Microphones, recently commemorated 20 years of developing microphones for the pro audio industry. Founded in 1992 by Morten Stove and Ole Brosted Sorensen, the company was originally known as Danish Pro Audio, whose first offerings included studio microphones.
Later, the company branched out into other types, such as miniature vocal and instrument microphones, while always maintaining the high-quality audio for which the brand was known. The company’s ability to develop such equipment grew from a working relationship with hearing-aid manufacturer Muphone. The technology needed to recreate the human voice in a small compartment is an ideal solution for the pro audio industry, and one with which Muphone was very familiar.
“DPA Microphones has always strived to create top-of-the-line products. We know that above all else, a microphone has to do the job it is intended to do – It has to be versatile, durable and easy to use. DPA is committed to the assurance that our microphones will work right, every time,’ says Christian Poulsen, CEO of DPA Microphones.
“In the last 20 years, we have continued to develop cutting-edge ways to make an audio tech’s job easier and faster, always aiming for the highest sound quality. Innovation, reliability and service have been trademarks of DPA Microphones since the very beginning, and we intend to keep creating products that embody these traits.’
The DPA Microphones line includes vocal, instrument and studio microphones, as well as broadcast and surround-sound microphones that can be found in venues throughout the world and in use by a plethora of famous artists.
