        It should be whichever one you select (although I have no idea which one I selected)

  • Bold Eagle on 09/04/2020 - 19:05

    I got email notification;

    We're contacting you to let you know that you're going to receive a free AT99 microphone! As you can imagine we received an overwhelming response so we needed to take the time to handle this properly and safely. We've got a separate dedicated team packing and preparing your microphone as you read this very message, it should be with you within the next 5 - 10 business days.

    I got the email 9 Apr at around 4pm, didn't notice it at first but checked after seeing this thread. The subject was "Audio-Technica AT99 Work.Create.Play - Free AT99 Microphone"

  • GreenGuava on 10/04/2020 - 21:37

    Well done to those who got in on one of these mics! I was well and truly too late to the game on this one, but it's nice to see Audio Technica come through with the goods for you early birds! 👍

  • brendanm on 12/04/2020 - 12:18

    Wow just checked my spam and have a shotgun mic incoming. Thanks op, and thanks audio technica.

    Received email. Didn't make the cut either. 15% off consolation.

  • CommieBaconEater on 17/04/2020 - 14:11

    Just got the email missed out, 15% discount on a $100 microphone seems pretty poor but obviously only as much money as they're willing to cut.

    No microphone for me :(

      • lonewolf on 17/04/2020 - 15:52

        Except of course the issue is if the email address has now also been passed on to other bodies/ interested parties as well as what kind of interests we had (in this case AV / Headsets)

        • dm01 on 18/04/2020 - 11:48

          You've been on OzB for over a decade and are still giving companies your primary email address?

            +1

            @dm01: Doesnt have to be primary email address, but if you want to keep track of orders as well as if they will email you back / give you updates then of course you give them an email address that you use, rather than some made up one.

            • dm01 on 18/04/2020 - 12:30

              @lonewolf: Yes I know. I have a throwaway email address for each month of the year that I simply remove from my email account once associated orders/deals are complete.

      • Davo1111 on 18/04/2020 - 16:24

        Interesting, my email says 5 - 10 business days and came April 9th.

        But now that I look at calendar, it's only been 6 days

        • BarginGrabber on 18/04/2020 - 16:25

          Sorry my bad.

          I was probably confusing it with another email. you are right that it was 5-10 days so maybe next week

      • bxpressiv on 18/04/2020 - 17:12

        I have a Star Track package in bound that I have no idea what it is, might be this or completely unrelated- no info on the consignment page.

        • brendanm on 21/04/2020 - 06:38

          Oh god I hope it isn't being sent via star track.

          • bobbiie on 21/04/2020 - 09:03

            @brendanm: Their website says they ship via StarTrack.

            • brendanm on 21/04/2020 - 09:37

              @bobbiie: I'm in for a fun 2 weeks of trying to get those idiots to deliver it then.

          • bxpressiv on 21/04/2020 - 23:59

            @brendanm: False alarm, Amazon US handed something over that ended up being overnighted- no idea why, usually I get Fastway.

            • brendanm on 22/04/2020 - 06:33

              @bxpressiv: Startrack have probably lost all the microphones in a warehouse somewhere.

          Do you have a Star Track account or something, or they sent you an email with a tracking number? I also got the email from Audio Technica that I got a mic but there is no way to tell when it's coming and from which delivery company.

          • bobbiie on 22/04/2020 - 11:13
            +1

            @AussieDaddy: The Audio-Technica website says they deliver through StarTrack.

            My last unknown package from StarTrack,care package from work, ended up showing tracking details on my AusPost account without me adding it.

            Nothing is currently showing on my account. They either haven't shipped or added enough details for it to match my account.

    • aec on 22/04/2020 - 11:28

    Help needed!! How do you set this up? I am only using a laptop which only has the headphone jack. Do I have to buy a splitter?
    Also, there's a battery included but where do you put this?
    Do you still need to put the battery if you will just use this connected to your laptop?
    Thanks!!

        No chance to test yet. It's designed for a interview / full room record, rather than just 1 person.

          The AT9920 will work great for one person (or several) when placed in front on a desk or wall. It's not omnidirectional, the diagram on top shows two cardioid capsules in ORTF configuration (rough calc suggests ~160° recording angle).

  • MdPrfssr on 29/04/2020 - 14:36

    Got my AT9903 Lapel Mic today (Brisbane).
    For anyone wondering how to put the battery in, use the end of the 3.5mm plug and push in the little button next to the on/off switch, then you can kind of swing out the tray where the button battery goes.
    FWIW, the power module made no difference for me running the mic directly off my laptop mic port. Works just as well without it. I think the power module is more for when using it plugged into cameras etc which don't provide enough phantom power.
    I was previously using a $1.00 ebay lapel mic which worked surprisingly well. This lapel mic has about the same gain as that with a minimally discernible difference in audio quality when just testing speech. Not sure if it's better than the ebay mic for things with more dynamic range like music or not but I don't use it for that.

    I received mine. I'm in Syd. This is a high quality item. I got the 9920 as I was swayed by the fact they use this on Bondi Rescue (LOL!)

    There's one oddness. There wasnt any instruction manual and it took me ages to work out how to install the included LR44 battery.

    HOwever once I sorted that out it does work as expected. The battery cover swings UP once you insert a toothpick into the retaining cover panel.

    Cannot complain, suffice to say they have a customer for life. Every item I've bought from them still works.

    Also amazingly thia product is made in taiwan, you know 'best china'.

  • LoftyAu on 30/04/2020 - 15:34

    Got my AT9903 yesterday. All good. I swore I tried to choose the AT9920 as that would suit my intended purpose better, but all good, this is still better than shouting at cheap inbuilt mic in laptop.

Never got an email saying yay or nay, so completely forgot about it. Checked again now, just to confirm, and I definitely never received any email from them. Can’t complain though, look forward to testing it out.

    so far with testing of the at9920, it seems to be really quiet. ive turned up the volume and microphone boost to max and my friends can barely hear me. is this a problem for anyone else? ive got it plugged into my pc directly

    • Tohnio on 01/05/2020 - 11:22

      i have this problem too and am reaching out to them via email. You are not the only one.
      tried afew things like using the power module (although desktop wont really change much)
      but it may seem like need phantom power for the thing to boost it.

    • 11hobos11 on 03/05/2020 - 10:09

      Yeah I've got the same issue. Even after using the included battery power module still can't get it to record at a level that would be useful. Thinking of trying a cheapo usb dac or something like that

    • WhySoSerious on 04/05/2020 - 11:11

      Hey mate, how to set this one up with laptop? I corrected it to my laptop, but it is not being detected. :(

      • 11hobos11 on 05/05/2020 - 07:54

        Depending on what laptop you have it may or may not work. You may end up needing a splitter if your laptop has a "combo" or headphone and microphone jack. I know my laptop won't support only a microphone on its own. I'd suggest looking into that first.

    • [Deactivated] on 05/05/2020 - 06:41

    Received the AT9920. Pretty sure I chose the shotgun option AT9947CM but I guess this one will do unless anyone wants to swap.
