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. Our portfolio already represents excellence in pro audio and we are very proud to add to our roster DPA a company that also represents excellence in the microphone industry.

Now we look forward to a bright future under new ownership in a Group with an uncompromising quality oriented approach to the Pro Audio business just like ours.
