The Freedman Group, parent company of professional audio brands RODE, Mackie, and newly acquired Lectrosonics, has announced a new partnership with fellow Sydney-based company Audinate. The agreement will see the integration of Audinate's Dante platform integrated into a suite of next-generation products across The Freedman Group's portfolio, unlocking advanced networking capabilities for creators and professionals worldwide.

Commenting on the partnership, Peter Freedman AM, founder of The Freedman Group, says, "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. I'm truly delighted that we can now bring Dante's unmatched networking capabilities to RODE, 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 known for its scalability and interoperability. It empowers professionals to manage large-scale systems with minimal effort, making high-performance networking more accessible across a multitude of industries, the company says.

Williams adds, "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. Standardising on Dante will give creators and AV professionals seamless interoperability between iconic brands like RODE, Mackie, and 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 their distinct product environments. Additionally, The Freedman Group will develop intuitive interfaces that simplify advanced audio networking for creators without compromising flexibility or fidelity, the company says.
