DPA Microphones (originally Danish Pro Audio) is a Danish manufacturer of microphones and microphone solutions for the professional markets, owned by the Italien pro audio manufacturer RCF Audio.[1] The current CEO is Kalle Hvidt. The company was founded in 1992 by two former employees from Brüel & Kjær - Morten Stove and Ole Brosted Sorensen. Brüel & Kjaer had decided to close their Pro Audio department and Morten and Ole made a contract with B&K to take over sales, service and development. DPA was at that time solely supplying high end studio microphones for recording and broadcast use. In 1995 they teamed up with Dan Ingemann Jensen and Jens Jørn Stokholm from DanaBallerina (later Muphone) and co-developed the later famous DPA 4060 and 4061 miniature microphone, which quickly became the preferred microphone in the theatre world on Broadway in New York and the West End in London. The company received the prestigious King Frederik IX award at a ceremony in Fredensborg Castle.[2]

The company’s headquarters is located in Allerød, Denmark, and the production plant is located in Asnæs, Denmark.[3]

In 2017, DPA made a shift in its product line up. The company introduced a new series of products called CORE by DPA. The idea behind CORE by DPA was to solve the issue lavaliers were having with newer digital wireless transmitters. The first products to launch using the new CORE by DPA microphone design was the 4060 series of lavaliers followed by the 6060 series of lavaliers.[4][5]

On July 30, 2020, NASA’s Mars Rover took off for a seven-month journey. It touched down successfully on February 18, 2021, with a DPA 4006 Omnidirectional, an MMA-A Digital Audio Interface and an MMP-G Modular Active Cable in tow. In this hostile environment the DPA equipment has been recording the first ever heard sounds from Mars.[6][7]
