"Albert R. Kahn | Audio pioneer, 98
Albert R. Kahn, 98, an inventor who cofounded Electro-Voice Inc., a pioneering company in audio technology, died June 15 in Cassopolis, Mich.
In 1940, Electro-Voice revolutionized tank and aircraft communications by introducing the noise-canceling microphone to the U.S. military - technology that is still in use. Such microphones allow users to speak in their normal voices while reducing background noise.
The company invented the stereo magnetic phono cartridge in 1957. Six years later, it received the first Academy Award given for an audio product - a shotgun microphone that improved the quality of sound recorded to film.
Mr. Kahn was president of the company from its founding until 1969, when Gulton Industries Inc. acquired it. In 1970, he cofounded radio equipment maker Ten-Tec Inc. in Sevierville, Tenn. He remained involved with the business until his death. - AP"

Check your lips at the door woman. Shake your hips like battleships. Yeah, all the white girls trip when I sing at Sunday service.
