Rode Collection
RØDE is an Australian audio company and one of the most established microphone brands in the world. Founded in 1967 as Freedman Electronics and rebranded to RØDE in 1990, it designs and manufactures at its own facilities in Silverwater, Sydney, and exports to over 119 countries.
RØDE sits at the premium end of the brands we carry. Where value brands compete on specification per peso, RØDE competes on build quality, reliability under working conditions, and audio that holds up in professional use.
What RØDE is good for
- Professional reliability — equipment built to work every day, not occasionally
- Wireless simplicity — systems that pair and run without configuration
- Long product support — firmware updates and accessory availability well after purchase
Worth knowing before you buy
RØDE costs more than the alternatives on this site, and for casual use the gap may not be worth it. It earns its price when audio failure is expensive — paid shoots, client work, live events, or anything you cannot re-record.
All RØDE products sold here carry a 1-year warranty and ship nationwide across the Philippines.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is RØDE worth the extra cost?
It depends on what the audio is for. For casual video the cheaper brands on this site are fine. RØDE earns its price when a failure is expensive: paid shoots, client work, live events, or anything you cannot go back and re-record. You are buying reliability rather than specification.
Is RØDE actually Australian?
Yes. RØDE was founded in 1967 as Freedman Electronics and rebranded in 1990. It designs and manufactures at its own facilities in Silverwater, Sydney, and exports to over 119 countries — unusual in an industry where most brands outsource production.
What is the Wireless ME good for?
It is an ultra-compact wireless microphone system for video work — interviews, vlogging and pieces to camera where a cable would get in the way. It is built to pair and run without configuration.
How does RØDE compare to SYNCO or BOYA?
SYNCO and BOYA offer more features for the money and are the sensible choice for hobbyist and semi-pro work. RØDE costs more and specs lower on paper, but has a longer track record for build quality, firmware support and accessory availability years after purchase.
Is there warranty support in the Philippines?
Yes. RØDE products bought from VMIDirect carry a 1-year warranty handled locally, with nationwide shipping.
