Rode Microphones becomes the presenting partner for Tim Ross’ Designing A Legacy

RODE Microphones will be the presenting partner for Tim Ross’ Designing A Legacy tour.

The announcement:

Comedian, TV presenter and self-proclaimed design nerd Tim Ross has announced Australian pro audio powerhouse RØDE Microphones as an official presenting partner for his new live show Designing a Legacy, which previewed at Sydney Opera House and opens Friday 13 March during Melbourne Design Week before touring nationally.

The partnership marks the continuation of a long-standing association between RØDE and Ross. RØDE Microphones is the world’s premier manufacturer of high-quality microphones, interfaces and related accessories for studio, live, location and podcast use. They are renowned as the go-to audio brand for today’s generation of filmmakers, musicians, podcasters, broadcast professionals and content creators. RØDE’s products are designed and manufactured at their state-of the-art facilities in Sydney.

Ross is a long-time fan of RØDE and has used their products for over a decade, including for his live performances Man About the House and Motel, for podcasts and throughout his broadcast career.

“RØDE is a great Australian company that is synonymous with innovation and quality. Home grown ingenuity and a commitment to local manufacturing is more important than ever in this country. It’s in this spirit of innovation that we are pleased to partner with them on Designing A Legacy, a show that takes an inventive pathway to bring design to audiences,” says Ross.

In Designing a Legacy, Ross threads together a series of films with anecdotes and his inimitable humour. Part talk, part screening and part comedy show, he takes audiences on an architectural adventure to discover what it takes to preserve our modernist landmarks for future generations. This is one of Ross’ many projects that connects people with design and architecture in new and creative ways.

“We are thrilled to be supporting Designing a Legacy,” says RØDE CEO Damien Wilson. “Tim is an old friend of RØDE and we’ve been lucky to collaborate on many projects together. He’s an extraordinary storyteller and his new show delves into themes that are at the core of what weadvocate at RØDE: innovative design and great Australian manufacturing. I highly recommend everyone sees it.”

Following its premiere sessions at the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne in March 2020, Ross will take Designing a Legacy across Australia, with performances in Brisbane, Adelaide, Sydney, Canberra, Newcastle, Perth, Geelong and the Sunshine Coast. Ticket sales have already surpassed 5,000 seats. Of the 20+ shows announced, half have sold out and new shows have just been added to fulfil demand.
