Audinate has entered into a partnership to extend Dante integration across the RØDE, Mackie and Lectrosonics product portfolios.

The partnership aims to enable the integration of the Dante platform with future product lines, tailored to meet the individual product environments of each brand. The Freedman Group (which owns all three companies) also plans to develop interfaces to simplify audio networking while ensuring flexibility and fidelity is maintained.
Peter Freedman, founder of The Freedman Group, commented, “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 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!”
Audinate’s CEO, Aidan Williams, added, “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 RØDE, Mackie & Lectrosonics, and with thousands of networked products in the Dante ecosystem.”
