Audiotonix To Acquire DPA Microphones, Wisycom And Austrian Audio
Audiotonix has announced plans to acquire three leading audio technology companies—DPA Microphones, Wisycom, and Austrian Audio—to expand its portfolio of professional sound solutions.
The acquisitions are now under regulatory review and are expected to complete in the first half of 2026.
DPA Microphones, based in Denmark, brings more than six decades of experience in microphone design, producing highly durable and consistent microphones for live sound, theatre, film, and installation applications.
Italian company Wisycom is a global leader in wireless audio solutions, specialising in RF technology for broadcast, live events, corporate, and location sound. Austrian Audio, headquartered in Vienna, offers innovative microphones, headphones, and audio tools, building on its strong acoustic heritage.
All three brands will join Audiotonix's growing family of audio technology companies, which includes Allen & Heath, Calrec, DiGiCo, DiGiGrid, Fourier Audio, Group One Limited, Harrison, JH Audio, KLANG:technologies, Slate Digital, Solid State Logic, sonible, and Sound Devices.
"With the development work we have been investing in with Sound Devices, it makes technological sense to add Wisycom to the team. The next logical step is to move closer to the performer with microphones, and DPA as a premium brand is the ultimate choice. Austrian Audio, with their decades of microphone and headset design experience, have immense potential and will help complement our existing and future portfolio. We always aim to work with brands that add value for our customers, and the future potential of this trio as part of Audiotonix is not hard to imagine," said James Gordon, CEO of Audiotonix.
Kalle Hvidt Nielsen, CEO of DPA Microphones, added: "DPA Microphones, Wisycom, and Austrian Audio are premium brands known for their strong and visionary product offering, used by many high-end customers who are familiar with all the Audiotonix brands. We share many location sound professionals with Sound Devices who rely on best-in-class audio quality and top-notch reliability and so by joining Audiotonix, DPA Microphones, Wisycom, and Austrian Audio get the opportunity to offer more premium solutions to discerning, quality focused customers.
"The synergy across the brands enhances the group's capacity to deliver substantial advantages to all professional customers who demand the best. I look forward to more collaboration and moving the state-of-the-art forward in new verticals."
