DPA Microphones

The company was founded in 1992 by two former employees from Brüel & Kjær - Morten Støve and Ole Brøsted Sørensen.

Brüel & Kjær 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.

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 condenser microphone, which quickly became the preferred microphone in the theatre world on Broadway in New York and the West End in London.

The idea behind CORE by DPA was to solve the issue lavaliers were having with newer digital wireless transmitters.
