WTD: Electrovoice 638 Microphone

[Paul Kraemer]

This may not be relevant but I seem to recall that there was an association
where Al Kahn was a significant person in the Heath organization at one
time.
Al Kahn also owned Electro Voice
Does that help?
I don't think the statement was that Collins was a low bidder but rather
that Electro Voice was the low bidder. And, lets not kid ourselves, in
business, the contract frequently goes to the product that meets
specifications at the lowest cost and it doesn't matter who the buyer is.
