Parent company of RØDE, Mackie, Aphex, SoundField, and Event Electronics, announced the acquisition of globally renowned Lectrosonics.
The Freedman Group – known for powerhouse audio brands like RØDE, Mackie, and Aphex – has just added another major name to its roster: Lectrosonics. The acquisition brings one of the most respected wireless audio manufacturers in the world under The Freedman Group’s wing, further reinforcing the company’s reputation as a global leader in pro audio.
Lectrosonics has long been a trusted name in film, broadcast, and theater for its ultra-reliable wireless systems, even earning an Academy Award in 2017 for its groundbreaking Digital Hybrid Wireless Technology.
“We are thrilled to welcome Lectrosonics to The Freedman Group family,” said Peter Freedman AM, Founder and owner of The Freedman Group. “For decades, Lectrosonics has been synonymous with the highest possible performance along with unmatched reliability and innovation in professional wireless audio. Their uncompromising commitment to quality perfectly aligns with our own values and strengthens our position as a global leader in professional audio solutions.”

They are without doubt the world’s leader in wireless communication for the entertainment and broadcast markets. Being able to now offer our customers the finest sounding wireless technology in the world is, without exaggeration, something that is very special to me.”
While financial details of the deal weren’t disclosed, it includes Lectrosonics’ brand, IP, production facilities, and equipment in New Mexico. Importantly, Lectrosonics will continue operating from its current location with its existing team, ensuring business as usual for its customers and preserving its legacy of innovation.
With both companies sharing a strong focus on technical excellence and quality, this move opens new doors for product development and global reach, positioning The Freedman Group as one of the most comprehensive forces in professional audio today.
Wes Herron, President of Lectrosonics, stated, “Joining The Freedman Group represents an exciting new chapter for Lectrosonics. With its global reach and shared passion for audio excellence and in- house manufacturing, we look forward to accelerating product development and expanding our market presence while maintaining the quality and reliability our customers expect.”
He added, “Over the years, we’ve garnered interest from some of the biggest names in the global audio industry, but RØDE was the only one that truly felt like the right fit. We couldn’t be more excited to join The Freedman Group family and take this next step together.”
“Lectrosonics’ journey, in many ways, mirrors our own. We’ve both built reputations on innovation, independent production, and maintain a deep respect for the creative community. This partnership is a natural fit and together, we’re going to reshape the landscape of wireless audio.”
