Following the September 2018 acquisition of EAW, with its iconic history in install and touring sound, the acquisition of DPA represents a second important milestone on RCF Group's impressive growth path.
Arturo Vicari, CEO of RCF Group stated: Since my early days I have been fascinated by the world of microphones.
