Professional Microphones A history of precision and perfection continues to define DPA Microphones to this day. Each microphone is assembled by hand at the state-of-the-art factory in Denmark. During this process, each mic undertakes at least 200 individual hands-on steps to assemble, then calibrated up to 15 times before final approval; with all sensitivity options done acoustically between the diaphragm and the pre-polarised back plate within the capsule, not in the electronics. It is this type of ingenious engineering and robust design that makes DPA the professional microphone choice used in Hollywood blockbuster films, Broadway musicals, International broadcasts and for Grammy Award winning musicians.
