The RØDE logo, representing a manufacturer of microphones and audio devices for video production and sound recording, consists of the brand name in bold uppercase black letters on a white background, with the standard “O” replaced by the slashed Scandinavian symbol “Ø”. In earlier versions, the logo included a thin “MICROPHONES” inscription and a gold circle beneath the name, but the 2022 redesign removed these elements, leaving only the typographic mark “RØDE”. This approach improved recognition and digital adaptability.
RØDE was founded in Australia in 1967 under the name Freedman Electronics and began expanding under the RØDE Microphones brand in the early 1990s. The company focuses on manufacturing condenser, dynamic, and lavalier microphones, wireless audio systems, audio interfaces, and accessories for video production, podcasting, streaming, and filmmaking. All products are developed and manufactured at its own facilities in the city of Sydney on Australia’s east coast. RØDE distributes to over 100 countries and is a global leader in the professional audio industry and a key brand for content creators worldwide.
