            @MrPants: Dont include me. I Ozbargain all the time but not deals like this which are offered to those in need :-)

              @Borg: There is no "need" for these mics.

              If someone needed it, they would already have it and AT wouldn't be giving away $250k worth of them. It is not food, clothing or TP.

              I agree many might not end up using them (this unfortunately happens in our materialistic society), but as long as people aren't getting multiple to resell or something, I see no issue getting one.

              We get you are not claiming one. Get over yourself.

            • MrPants on 27/03/2020 - 22:55

              @Borg: This isn't something I "need" as in, my job doesn't depend on it, but I "want" to help with meetings working from home and to catch up with a few virtual beers with friends over the next 6+ months. Trying to get a better experience.

              Can I get by without it? Yes
              Would it make the next 6+ months easier? Yes
              Do I need 2? No
              Would I be disappointing if I miss out? No

              • Borg on 28/03/2020 - 00:03

                @MrPants: Can you afford to buy one? If not, then great bargain and worthwhile grabbing as you have a genuine need and will make your life better in these crap times. My comment more relates to those that just buy for the sake of "Its Free" but in fact they have zero use for them other than a matter of interest, That's all.

    So the give away value is $250,000 and most of them are $119 RRP so that’s around 2100 units. Hope I made the cut

      You did the first part of the math. The 2nd part of the math is that there are 43k clicks at the time of me writing this comment. Assuming even a mere 5% of those clicks went through, that's already 2150 units.

  • Matt86 on 27/03/2020 - 22:40

    Got one by sitting on my PC and pressing F5 around 10-20 times, worked for a mate too.

    Ironically I'll actually use the AT9920 that I ordered for PC gaming so I can change to my Audio Technica M40x's for a change. Unfortunately work won't let me use it from home as far as I'm aware (i might ask?).

    I wonder if actually getting the "thanks for your submission" means that you got it or what?

    • John Kimble on 27/03/2020 - 22:48

      Doubt it, I'm guessing there will be more than $250k worth of claims, so first in best dressed probably.

    How much are they worth

  • spychiatrist on 27/03/2020 - 23:09

    This has to be the most deal clicks ever! More than 46,000 clicks!

  • ben10k on 27/03/2020 - 23:12
    -1

    Given the RRP below @ $250,000 value, there will be approx 720 units which can be distributed as follows:

    AT9903 @ $79 = approx 360 units
    AT9920 @ $119 = approx 216 units
    AT9947CM @ $149 = approx 144 units

    • exc3113nce on 27/03/2020 - 23:28

      I don't think the form has any limit on entry. I'm not sure they will honour all the orders placed here. There's always hope though but we're nearing 50,000 clicks. Assuming they don't all go through… that's still a large number

    • broseph21 on 27/03/2020 - 23:48
      +4

      Based on that maths it doesn’t add up to anywhere near $250,000?

      • ben10k on 28/03/2020 - 00:10
        +1

        Sorry. My bad. Did it using Google sheets and mixed up my formulas.

        New calculation below:
        Option 1 of n:
        a) Total money $250,000
        b) 50% of $250,000 = $125,000 goes to $79 product
        c) 30% of $250,000 = $75,000 goes to $119 product
        d) 20% of $250,000 = $50,000 goes to $149 product
        e) $125,000 ÷ $79 = ~1,582 units
        f) $75,000 ÷ $119 = ~630 units
        g) $50,000 ÷ $149 = ~335 units

        Total units = ~2,548 units

        Depending on the distribution of the total pool for each product at each price point will determine how many units will be available.

          I would say more likely they give away as many of each mic as people want, up to the $ cap. That way they don’t have people requesting inappropriate mics. They want people to use their tech correctly after all.

    • Elijha on 28/03/2020 - 02:42

      A bit of head maths. If they give away even numbers of each mic, and qualify the give away value at their retail price(ie not cost), then they'll give away a little over 2100 mics.

      (looks up at 60000 clicks) might be a little late.

      • Shwayne on 28/03/2020 - 02:50

    Nice gesture and all but has no one realised if you're WFH right now and in desperate need of a mic, you'll probably receive these by the time Australia is lifting most pandemic-related restrictions by which time you'll be back in the office?

    The shipping delays in the past two months (for electrical and computing goods especially) have been ridiculous, and all entry-level Audio Technica products are made in China.

      Good point, I was thinking about that as I entered my details and was about to close the page; but the lure of a free microphone (of which I do actually have a need for) was too much.

      • terrys on 28/03/2020 - 11:51

        The publicity they get is probably more the deal. In times gone by A.T. was a familar name as they were pretty much the go-to for low to mid range turntable manufacturers selling to those of us moving on from the BSR/Garrard vinyl lathes that came with consumer oriented stereograms [ furniture with the ability to emulate music usually using two 8" "Rola" speakers]. While their name is still up their with respectable earphones they may be wanting to take a good opportunity for good publicity.

        I think they're a bit too big and extablished to want to sh*t their nest by abusing the info.
