Barbara Weathers called me the other day about a possible date in the near future and I thought I might share this picture of her performing at a cabaret in the civic center in Roanoke, VA sometime in the early 80’s. She was still in high school at the time as were most of the other members of the band Covacus which was lead by Aggie Alum James “Coffee” Yourse. It was taken by our head SoundMan at the time, Mike Armeniox. Thanks for taking a camera along Mike.

Barbara went on to star with R&B legends Atlantic Starr before moving on to a solo carrier in 1990 . I am honored to have been a SoundMan and friend of such an amazing talent. A genuine artist that takes you breath away when she is on stage. And was a great baby sitter for my sons. Thanks for the call Barbara.

ConcerTech, a wholly owned subsidiary of SoundMan Enterprises, has announced a breakthrough in microphone transducer technology. They have begun shipment of the first in their new series of EarthMover microphones based around their new revolutionary patent pending Rectulearital Biphase Technology.

A membrane of pure Sinics is deposited directly on a skeleton made of the rare earth element Siniodium under extreme photopic pressure in a specially built furnace at the ConcerTech laboratories. This creates an acoustic motor with an unprecedented Vectulance of <.00000000127%. The output is indistinguishable from the input creating a completely transparent reproduction of the audio source.

The EarthMover EM-1 specifications exceed the International IEC 60268-4 standards on sound field testing making it superior to the human ear.

Specifications

• Frequency Response: 1Hz to beyond 50kHz +/- 0.0 dBu
• Polar Pattern: Adaptive Omnipotence
• Sensitivity: 10mV/Pa
• Max Acoustic Input: 175dB SPL
• Output: ESP-3 (pin 1+)
• Noise: none
• Minimum Output Load: It’s not heavy, it”s my brother

The EarthMover EM-1 is also available in a wireless version the EarthMover EM-1W. It works without electronic receivers utilizing bleeding edge empathic telepathy (ET) adapted for military use from UFO’s captured in Rosewell, NM. It is FCC 700MHz complaint.

The new ConcerTech EarthMover microphone is set to revolutionize the live audio industry. The perfect vanity microphone for screaming electric guitar amplifiers due to it’s almost infinite maximum input capacity, it was tested by NASA at 1 meter form the space shuttles solid rocket fuel engine at takeoff with no diaphragm distortion. “It was truly blazing in our launch tests” reported NASA engineers.

The wireless version makes the perfect rap vocal microphone. It is completely impervious to bad mic technique and will simultaneously translate and sanitize gangster rap lyrics so that you will never hear offensive language through the system that broadcasts directly to the listener via its ET technology.

ConcerTech engineers have at long last deciphered the key to the SoundMans holly grail and have created the Talent Compensation Device (TCD) that is available as an option on any EarthMover microphone. With the TCD option you will never have to worry about the talent of your artist again.
