Service

If you need to have your microphone repaired, please contact the place where you purchased your microphone, and they will send the microphone to the nearest authorized DPA service center. It will undergo test and repair at the service center. After the repair, the microphone will be returned to you clean and buffed.

Matched stereo pairs that are sent in for repair are rematched. Surround-matched kits will be returned to the factory in Denmark to undergo a multi-match calibration.

If the microphone is covered by the warranty, this service is free of charge. For out-of-warranty repairs, a service fee will apply.

Discontinued products

DPA Microphones reserves the right to discontinue products for several reasons, including but not limited to changes in market demand, technological innovation, new product development, scarcity of raw materials or the availability of updated versions of the same product.

When a microphone is discontinued, it will no longer be available for purchase.

Owners of discontinued microphones are entitled to service repairs from DPA Microphones for at least the duration of the announced warranty period, starting from the date DPA last offered the product for sale.

After the warranty period expires, the discontinued product is considered obsolete, and spare parts and support will be phased out accordingly. DPA Microphones will make reasonable efforts to ensure that the obsolescence does not impede our ability to provide repair and service, contingent on the availability of necessary parts.

For more information, please contact us, and we will be pleased to assist you.

Adapters

DPA adapters are covered by warranty for a period of two years. The same procedure applies for adapter repairs as written above.
