Germany - DPA Microphones recently announced it has promoted one of its German dealers, Mega Audio, to the status of sole importer and exclusive distributor for the country. Based in Bingen just outside Frankfurt, Mega Audio had previously represented DPA as a dealer for the past four years, along with Analog Audio (Munich), Hamburg Pro Audio (Hamburg) and HL Audio (Berlin). The decision to appoint Mega Audio as its sole distributor was viewed as an amicable one all round, with the three other companies remaining as dealers for DPA products in their respective territories.

Mega Audio was originally set up as a recording studio specialist and a wholesale company for recording equipment. When the studio market started to decline, Mega Audio made the move into high-end pro audio distribution. Today, as well as DPA, its product portfolio includes Fostex, InnovaSON, Apogee Electronics, Millennia Media, D&R, Primacoustics and others.

"We are very proud to be the exclusive distributor for DPA products in Germany," says Mega Audio's MD, Burkhard Elsner. "The quality of DPA products is really outstanding and we see great potential to grow the brand to be one of the top microphone lines in Germany, a country which itself has a very strong tradition of microphone manufacturing. For us, as well as for DPA, it¹s very positive that we could keep the three previous DPA partners in the picture. We are confident that they will help to grow DPA¹s market substantially in the future and I am personally very happy that they¹ve confirmed their enthusiasm and commitment."
