The Freedman Group – parent company of Røde, Mackie and newly acquired Lectrosonics – has struck a new partnership that will see Audinate’s Dante platform integrated into a suite of next-generation products across the Group’s portfolio.
Dante delivers uncompressed, multichannel digital audio and video with near-zero latency over standard Ethernet connections. Known for its routing, reliability and scalability, Dante has become an industry staple in broadcast studios, live production, content creation and commercial installations around the world.
‘I’ve known Audinate’s CEO, Aidan Williams, for many years, and it’s been inspiring to watch Dante grow from a bold idea into a world-leading technology,’ says Freedman Group founder, Peter Freedman. ‘I’m truly delighted that we can now bring Dante’s unmatched networking capabilities to Røde, Mackie, and Lectrosonics, unlocking exciting new possibilities for today’s creators and audio professionals. The Australian Audio Army is set to take over the world.’
Used in thousands of professional audio and video products worldwide, Audinate’s signature Dante technology is revered for its exceptional scalability and robust interoperability. It empowers professionals to manage large-scale systems with minimal effort, making high-performance networking more accessible across a multitude of industries.
‘It is a particular pleasure to announce a broad partnership with the Freedman Group, a fellow Australian company with global vision and passion for creating innovative products,’ says Williams. ‘Standardising on Dante will give creators and A/V professionals seamless interoperability between iconic brands like Røde, Mackie & Lectrosonics, and with thousands of networked products in the Dante ecosystem.’
This partnership will enable native Dante integration across future product lines, with each brand tailoring the platform to distinct product environments. Additionally, The Freedman Group expects to develop interfaces that simplify advanced audio networking for creators without compromising flexibility or fidelity.
