STOW, OH — Audio-Technica is offering a 700 MHz trade-in program in an effort to encourage wireless users to move out of the 700 MHz spectrum range in anticipation of regulatory decisions by the FCC.
Under the terms of the exchange, owners of A-T's discontinued 7000 Series, U100 and 1400 Series wireless microphone systems that operate in the 700 MHz range are offered a 15 percent rebate on the purchase of any new A-T products from an authorized Audio-Technica U.S. dealer with the successful exchange of 700 MHz receivers.
The 15 percent can apply to any dollar amount spent on new A-T product from an authorized dealer. There is no limit on the condition or age of wireless products qualified for rebate. The receivers must be turned in by September 30, 2009, for rebates good through the end of the year.
To receive the credit, current users of Audio-Technica 700 MHz wireless systems must simply send in their old 700 MHz receivers only, rebate request form and original sales receipts, and A-T will send them a rebate certificate for 15 percent off their next Audio-Technica purchase. T
hen, users can visit their favorite Authorized Audio-Technica U.S. dealer, buy as much A-T product as they need in a one-time purchase, send in the receipt, UPC codes and the rebate certificate, and A-T will send back a check for 15 percent of the total A-T purchase price.
There is no limit on total purchase amount or which current Audio-Technica products are eligible for refund in the one-time purchase. Additionally, owners of 700 MHz wireless systems from other manufacturers are eligible to receive a 5 percent rebate certificate under the same terms and conditions. There is no age limit on wireless products qualified for rebate.
The following discontinued Audio-Technica 700 MHz wireless receivers qualify for a 15 percent rebate certificate upon return of qualifying receivers.
- ATW-R100 receiver — included in the U100 Series ATW-U101 and ATW-U102 wireless systems.
- ATW-R14 receiver — included in the 1400 Series ATW-1451, ATW-1452 and ATW-1453 wireless systems.
- DR-R4 receiver — included in the Digital Reference DR4500 and DR4600 wireless systems.
- ATW-R73 receiver — included in the 7000 Series ATW-7373, ATW-7375 and ATW-7376 wireless systems
Audio-Technica noted that "X" versions of the U100 Series and 7000 Series wireless systems do not operate in the 700 MHz range, so those receivers would not be eligible for the rebate.
A-T also noted that the trade-in program does not apply to the 700 Series Wireless Systems, which also do not operate in the 700 MHz frequency range.
The 700 MHz trade-in program is now underway. Qualifying trade-in receivers returned to Audio-Technica must be postmarked by Sept. 30, 2009. Rebate Certificates must be used for a one-time purchase by Dec. 31, 2009.
Completed Rebate Certificates, along with the purchase receipt and UPC codes, must be returned to Audio-Technica, postmarked by Jan. 31, 2010, to receive a rebate check, the company added.
