Rode Microphones

RODE Microphones evolved from the Freedman Group of Companies, established in 1967 by Henry and Astrid Freedman, after immigrating to Australia from Sweden. Freedman Electronics was a pioneer in the Australian audio industry for the design, manufacture, installation and servicing of a diverse range of audio products. Loudspeakers, amplifiers, custom electronics and microphones were all a part of the company's expertise; all of which took place within the confines of the small but unique Australian market. Rode has since narrowed their focus to the growing recording microphone market.

BPMmusic first became aware of Rode microphones when the original Rode NT1 caught fire in the U.S. among home recording artists. With its cult like following it quickly became our best selling microphone. We had our doubts about new entries by Rode but it has turned out that each of the new Rode offerings have been spot on and smash hits.

Rode has acheived their success through their ongoing investment in research and development, the use of the latest manufacturing technologies to improving the quality, performance and production efficiencies. But most importantly they listen to people who use microphones.
