Audiotonix is expanding its influence at the sharp end of professional audio, announcing an agreement to acquire three highly respected names in microphones and wireless audio: DPA Microphones, Wisycom and Austrian Audio. The acquisitions are now subject to regulatory approval, with completion expected in H1 2026.
The move signals a strategic step forward for Audiotonix as it continues to build a tightly integrated ecosystem that spans the signal chain, from performer to production.
With more than 60 years of Danish microphone design heritage, DPA Microphones is synonymous with precision, consistency and durability. Its microphones are trusted across live sound, theatre, broadcast, film and fixed installation, where accuracy and reliability are non-negotiable.
Italian wireless specialist Wisycom brings deep expertise in advanced RF technology, delivering robust solutions for broadcast, live events, corporate productions and location sound. Known for tackling complex RF environments, Wisycom has become a go-to brand for engineers operating in demanding conditions.
Completing the trio is Vienna-based Austrian Audio, a company rooted in decades of acoustical know-how. With a growing portfolio of microphones, headphones and audio tools, Austrian Audio blends innovation with a strong connection to its engineering heritage.
Together, the three brands join an already formidable Audiotonix portfolio that 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,” stated James Gordon, CEO of Audiotonix.
Kalle Hvidt Nielsen, CEO at DPA Microphones, commented, “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”. Kalle concludes, “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”.
