Topic: To those that have 853 subcard caps

AT doesn't sell retail..only to vendors. How'd you get 'em?

[nameloc01]

My main point was they are now discontinued..so whatever is out there now is it. I'm gonna grab a pair asap.

^I never see them for sale in the yard.  Either no one has them or no one is willing to part with them.

SP has some left.

contact Dave Webb at ATUSA. If they still have them you'll save a good chunk of $$.

Chris will bring that price down to $45 each if you ask.  I just bought omni caps from Sound Pros.

^ nice. I have a slightly pricey ticket to buy this week..I think I'm gonna order mine next week.

Ps. I found that a pill dispenser fits the 853 caps perfectly, like one of the one with the little compartments for the days of the week..that's what I'm using now.

I picked up: http://www.tackledirect.com/plano-3-small-waterproof-boxes.html

3 different, waterproof containers...1 is completely open (i store 4 aa batts and 2 sd cards in this one)...1 with six compartments (currently not using)....1 with 4 compartments (lined with anti-static and storing my caps comfortably, securely, and safely)

Really diggin' it...

They will definitely sell them directly to a consumer if you contact them. I got mine straight from AT.

[nameloc01]

I have called the Stow,OH office numerous times and each time am told that they only sell to vendors. I even emailed the person the guy above said he bought his from and received an email (from the guy at AT) saying the same thing..products must be purchased via an authorised AT vendor/dealer.

Here's the response I got....

I use them head-worn in small venues very often and love the result. Less chatty than omnis but without the potential phasing issues of cards.
