GLOBAL: In a landmark move poised to redefine the landscape of professional audio, The Freedman Group — parent to industry-leading brands including RØDE, Mackie, Aphex, SoundField and Event Electronics — has officially acquired wireless audio manufacturer Lectrosonics.

While financial terms remain undisclosed, the deal encompasses the company’s brand, complete intellectual property portfolio, factory buildings in Rio Rancho, New Mexico, and a comprehensive array of production machinery and equipment. The Freedman Group has confirmed that Lectrosonics will continue to operate from its existing facilities in New Mexico, with the current management team remaining in place to ensure continuity and preserve the brand’s unique identity and customer relationships. The transaction was brokered by PwC’s M&A team, led by Troy Porter and James Hocking, on behalf of The Freedman Group. Mediabridge Capital Advisors served as M&A advisors to Lectrosonics.

“We are thrilled to welcome Lectrosonics to The Freedman Group family!” exclaimed 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.”

Lectrosonics President Wes Herron echoed the excitement as he 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. 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.”

With complementary technologies and shared values at their core, the addition of Lectrosonics to The Freedman Group strengthens the Group’s global portfolio, offering new opportunities for growth, innovation, and manufacturing diversity across its Australian headquarters and US operations.
