Introducing CORE+ by DPA
Core+: Pure sound, Zero distortion, Unmatched clarity.
The best sound is close to the source
Designing microphones with amazing sound, exceptional consistency and outstanding durability is no easy feat. DPA Microphones draws on more than six decades of world-class microphone design experience. This history starts back in the 1950s, when our predecessor, Brüel & Kjær, developed the first, precisely accurate measurement microphones. Today, sound superiority and technical innovation is still at the heart of everything we do.
In 1992, two entrepreneurial spirits, Ole Brøsted Sørensen & Morten Støve, left Brüel & Kjær and started a transformation that affects the audio industry to this day. They turned the most well-known and accurate measurement microphones in the world into the clearest, truest pro-audio microphones you can purchase today. The 4006 Omnidirectional Microphone was one of the first recording mics DPA developed and is still one of the best-loved recording mics in the world.

The Microphones By DPA
DPA’s long history of precision and perfection continues to define DPA Microphones to this day. Long before manufacturing begins, the magic starts with our R&D team in Denmark. This group lays the groundwork for each microphone design by monitoring trends in the market, consulting real users to gain customer insights and using world-class technology and design processes.
Moving on to production, each microphone is assembled using a perfect balance between automated and handcrafted manufacturing. It takes up to 200 individual steps to assemble a DPA microphone. During the manufacturing process in Denmark, a microphone can be calibrated up to 15 times before final approval.
Grab your favorite DPA microphone, close your eyes and listen to your performance. The sound you hear is TRUE SOUND – delivered honestly and passionately.
DPA on MARS
After being put through vigorous testing by NASA scientists, the DPA equipment, affixed to the Mars “Perseverance” Rover, officially launched into space aboard the Atlas V-541 rocket in July 2020. Over the past seven months, the DPA equipment has faced pressure changes while leaving Earth’s atmosphere and again when entering the Martian surface, and extreme temperatures — as low as -100 Celsius/-148 Fahrenheit — on Mars. Additionally, the DPA gear has endured the massive vibrations caused by the rocket launch and subsequent landing on Mars.
