The RØDE story began in 1967 when Freedman Electronics – the parent company of RØDE – first opened its doors in Sydney, Australia.

Established by husband-and-wife Henry and Astrid Freedman after migrating to Australia from Sweden, Freedman Electronics soon became a leader in the fledgling Australian audio industry, becoming experts in loudspeakers, amplifiers, and custom electronics, as well as dabbling in the odd microphone. Freedman Electronics was also the first company in Australia to carry Dynacord consoles, which gained fame in Australia in 1968.

Henry's son Peter Freedman began creating the infrastructure to design, build and manufacture microphones in Australia in 1990. They now distribute worldwide and have offices in Los Angeles, New York, London, Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Seoul, and Tokyo.
