Denmark's top sound companies gathered at the Technical University of Denmark's DTU Skylab last week in celebration of this year's Danish Sound Award recipient -- DPA Microphones, the first-ever company to earn this recognition. Presented to professionals that drive innovation in the industry, the Danish Sound Award sheds light on the globally outstanding audio technology that is developed in the country.

The prize is awarded to those who have rethought the use and understanding of sound or have further developed and strengthened Denmark's position as a leading nation in the field of sound. Special attention is given to nominees that have contributed to the community with completely new paths in the use of sound or have done something remarkable to showcase Danish sound expertise on an international level.

"DPA has made an extraordinary effort to get Danish sound products known abroad and has, at the same time, had impressive financial results year after year," says Town of Struer Mayor, Mads Jakobsen, while presenting the award. "Building on a strong heritage, DPA has achieved a prominent market position because of high technical competencies. [It is] a well-respected brand used by well-known artists and organizations around the world. DPA is a solid and worthy representative for the Danish sound industry."
