Røde Microphones

Røde (stylized as RØDE) is a globally recognized leader in audio technology, specifically catering to creators, musicians, and broadcasters. Founded in 1967 as Freedman Electronics, the brand underwent a significant transformation in the early 1990s with the launch of the iconic NT1 microphone. Today, Røde is renowned for its high-quality condenser microphones, wireless audio systems like the Wireless GO series, and specialized podcasting equipment such as the RØDECaster Pro.

The company is a standout in the electronics industry for maintaining large-scale, high-precision manufacturing operations within Australia. Most of its primary production occurs at its state-of-the-art facilities in Silverwater, Sydney. While the company heavily invests in local robotic automation and metalwork, some components and specific assembly tasks for consumer-tier accessories may involve international supply chains, including partners in Germany (for advanced MEMS technology) and China for certain structural components.
