DPA Microphones announced that it has opened a new headquarters in Kokkedal, Denmark, a suburb of Copenhagen, with the modernized space putting an emphasis on the brand’s research and development (R&D) facilities with upgrades and new studio spaces.
“DPA continually aims to inspire sound professionals looking to improve their solutions, and we are confident that the new headquarters will further enable this growth,” says DPA Microphones CEO Kalle Nielsen. “The facility offers a great environment for close collaboration across the organization and with outside partners, which is the foundation we need to provide strong solutions. This high-tech environment will be the homebase for some of the world’s best microphone specialists, enabling them to create even better microphones and provide more education to the pro audio community.”
The new facility offers upgrades for R&D, which will soon have access to a full anechoic chamber that will aid in the creation of DPA’s mics. Additionally, a planned multi-room space will feature a video studio and controlled listening area for live and recorded demonstrations. The new location, which will have members from sales and marketing, finance, customer service and management, also offers an improved climate as well as an architectural and interior design style that the company states better aligns with the DPA brand.
In addition, the new 1,700-square-meter facility implements environmental aspects that include the WindowMaster climate platform, LED lighting and electric vehicle charging stations. “We wanted to create a modern and motivational work environment for our great employees,” Nielsen adds. “I truly believe we’ve been able to accomplish that. There is so much to look forward to in this space, from new product development to welcoming partners to tour our facilities. I’m most excited to see how the new headquarters will serve not only our employees, but the pro audio community as a whole.”
