Ray talks to Triad-Orbit in the profile about how T-O helps him save space and increase efficiency in his song writing and recording.

Guitarist/songwriter/producer Ray Parker Jr. had hits as Raydio (the million-selling "Jack and Jill," "You Can't Change That"), Ray Parker Jr. & Raydio ("Two Places at the Same Time," "A Woman Needs Love [Just Like You Do]"), and Ray Parker Jr. (the number one R&B and pop gold single "Ghostbusters"), and he co-wrote hit songs for Rufus and Chaka Khan (the number one "You Got the Love" from fall 1974) and Barry White ("You See the Trouble with Me" from spring 1976).

Born May 1, 1954, in Detroit, Michigan, Parker started out as a teenaged session guitarist playing on sessions recorded for Holland-Dozier-Holland's Hot Wax and Invictus Records, whose roster listed Freda Payne, Honey Cone, Chairmen of the Board, 100 Proof Aged in Soul, Laura Lee, and 8th Wonder. He also played behind the Temptations, Stevie Wonder, the Spinners, Gladys Knight & the Pips, and other Motown acts when they appeared at the Twenty Grand Club. In 1972, Wonder called Parker to ask him to play behind him on a tour that he was doing with the Rolling Stones. Parker thought it was a crank call and hung up the phone. Wonder called back and convinced Parker that he was the real deal by singing "Superstition" to him.

Talking Book Later, Parker played on Wonder's albums Talking Book (1972) and Innervisions (1973). Moving from Detroit to Los Angeles, Parker got into session work, playing on sides by Leon Haywood, Barry White, and arranger Gene Page and working with Motown producer Clarence Paul on Ronnie McNeir's 1976 Motown debut, Love's Comin' Down, and he appeared in the picnic scene in the Bill Cosby/Sidney Poitier comedy classic Uptown Saturday Night.
Deciding to become a recording artist, Parker got a deal with Arista Records in 1977. Not confident on his singing ability, he put together a band that included vocalist Arnell Carmichael, bassist/singer Jerry Knight (who later had his own solo hit with "Overnight Sensation" and as half of Ollie & Jerry, and co-produced hits by the Jets), guitarist Charles Fearing, Larry Tolbert, and Darren Carmichael. However, on record, Parker played most, if not all of the instruments -- although Arnell et al. were paid a retainer so they'd be available if Raydio had a hit record and needed to tour.

Raydio His first LP, Raydio, went gold, peaking at number eight R&B in spring 1978. The LP included the number five gold R&B hit single "Jack and Jill" (lead vocal by Jerry Knight), "Is This a Love Thing," and the charting single "Honey I'm Rich." The hits continued with Ray Parker Jr. & Raydio's number four gold Rock On (the single "You Can't Change That" was number three R&B, number nine pop in the spring of 1979); the number six gold R&B Two Places at the Same Time from spring 1980 ("Two Places at the Same Time" was number six R&B in spring 1980); and the number one gold record A Woman Needs Love from 1981 ("A Woman Needs Love [Just Like You Do]" -- the first song Parker sang all the way through without trading vocals -- held the number one R&B spot for two weeks and went number four pop in spring 1981). Then, the Ray Parker Jr. album The Other Woman held the number one R&B, number 11 pop spot in spring 1982 ("The Other Woman" was number two R&B for four weeks).
One of Parker's biggest hits and best-loved songs, "Ghostbusters" was initially submitted for the background score of the Dan Aykroyd/Harold Ramis/Bill Murray/Ernie Hudson comedy. Director Ivan Reitman thought that the song should be released as a single. The "Ghostbusters" music video is one of the funniest and most star-studded videos ever made (breakdancing Bill Murray style). "Ghostbusters" parked at the number one R&B spot for two weeks and the number one pop for three weeks on Billboard's charts in summer 1984. Around this time, Huey Lewis sued Columbia Pictures and Ray Parker Jr. for copyright infringement, claiming that "Ghostbusters" was a ripoff of his recent hit, "I Want a New Drug." Lewis received an out-of-court settlement.

In the NightParker also wrote and produced hits for New Edition ("Mr. Telephone Man" -- Parker originally recorded this with Jr. Tucker for his 1983 self-titled Geffen album), Randy Hall ("I've Been Watching You [Jamie's Girl]," the refreshing "Gentleman"), Cheryl Lynn ("Shake It Up Tonight" from In the Night), Deniece Williams (the 1979 ARC/Columbia LP When Love Comes Calling), Brick (the 1981 Bang LP Summer Heat), and Diana Ross ("Upfront" from her 1983 RCA LP Ross).
Parker left Arista for Geffen and then MCA before returning to Arista because of his relationship with Arista president Clive Davis.

I/O quick-change coupler capability of Triad-Orbit.

With the apparent and necessary convergence of technology between many different industries, our mantra is “Invent. Refine. Repeat”. In doing so, we must also realize where others have already made great strides towards the same goal. So we have partnered with different companies such as Manley Laboratories and 9.Solutions to create new products that take advantage of the innovations that both companies have to offer. The result of this synergy is the brand new Starbird® Boom Stand by Triad-Orbit, whose parts are backwards-compatible to all Manley Starbirds, as well as the Synergy Series™ Grip Clamp and Spring Clamp, which combines the outstanding clamp ability of 9.Solutions with the IO® quick-change capability of Triad-Orbit. But we’re not stopping there.

Real innovation changes lives for the better, so we will continue to provide you with modular support system solutions that improve the way you work and play.Show More

What is a “Stand System”?

What is a “Stand System”?
What’s in a name? In the case of Triad-Orbit, our brand name tells our story. In the beginning we were Triad-Orbit Advanced Microphone Stand Systems. As T-O has grown, so have the applications for our innovative support systems and we dropped “Microphone” from the name. “Triad” and “Orbit” are the line’s two cornerstone products and “Advanced Stand Systems” are what we make. Understanding that modular DNA is the key to incorporating the benefits of Triad-Orbit’s custom-configurable design into your creative workflow.

The IO quick-change coupler is the “glue” in Triad-Orbit’s modular design. Every T-O stand, boom, adaptor and T-O Retro component is connected with an IO coupler. If you grew up with Tinker Toys or Lego, you get it. With Triad-Orbit, you have a premium product line that enables you to configure custom stand systems to fulfill your unique needs. We invite you to contact us anytime you need advice or help in building a custom Triad-Orbit stand system for any of your creative endeavors.

The T-O Stand Systems Builder's Guide makes it easy to understand and assemble custom Triad-Orbit stand systems. Download and browse through the TOSSBG to see 22 unique and creative ways to set up and utilize T-O for your preferred support application. Check back often as we will be updating the guide as our network of users send us more ansd more ideas.Show More

Triad Leg Tension

Triad Stand's articulating legs have individual tension setting.
If you are in a studio with the space of Warner Brother Eastwood Sound Stage, you may never actually collaps the legs. WB never collapses the legs..
In a situation where you put the stands away often and one leg feels looser than the others you can adjust it to have more tension.

Under the base of the the stand there is recessed a 2mm hex set screw. This screw puts pressure on the 6mm larger hex screw.
Before trying to tighten the main leg hex screw, loosen the 2mm screw a few turns. Then set the 6mm hex screw a the desired tension. Important! Reset the 2mm hex screw firmly before testing the leg.
Repeat the process so all three legs have the same tension.Show More
