"feels just like the ATTs"
Gardner's ATTa Audio Bite Alarm is the speaker-equipped version of the brand's Advanced Technology Tackle alarm range, designed for carp anglers who want the choice between on-bank sound and wireless-only operation. A rotary dial on the front switches between audio mode and silent mode, so you can run it as a standalone alarm or pair it wirelessly with Gardner's V2 ATTx receiver depending on how you're fishing.
The alarm is built around IP67 water protection, meaning it's fully dust-sealed and can handle submersion in up to a metre of water for 30 minutes. A rubber speaker grommet cover with waterproofing tabs is included to maintain that protection around the speaker opening, though the ATTa is not quite as fully sealed as Gardner's ATTs model which has no speaker aperture.
The ATTa runs off a single 476A 6V battery with a low battery warning, and a magnetic switch in the supplied hard case turns the alarm off automatically when you pack it away. Sensitivity is adjusted by swapping roller wheels , a 2-magnet wheel is fitted as standard, with 4-magnet and 6-magnet wheels sold separately for slack-line or low-flow situations.
Anti-false-alarm logic tracks the last direction the roller moved to filter out wind or debris triggers, and LED wheel illumination in the alarm's chosen colour gives you an instant visual cue at night. Betalight accommodation is also present for self-luminous visibility.
Ultra high snag ears and a reinforced fixing bolt are designed to keep the rod secure during powerful takes, which matters when fishing tight to snags or heavy weed.
| Feature | What this means |
|---|---|
| Built-In Speaker with Audio/Silent Mode | A rotary dial on the front lets you switch between producing an on-bank sound through the speaker or running silently and sending alerts to a receiver only. This means you can use the ATTa as a standalone alarm or as part of a wireless receiver setup, depending on how you're fishing. |
| ATTx Receiver Compatibility | The ATTa pairs wirelessly with the V2 ATTx Multi Receiver and the V2 ATTx Deluxe Receiver. Tone and volume are controlled through the receiver rather than on the alarm head itself, so all your sound settings are managed in one place at your bivvy. |
| IP67 Water Protection Rating | IP67 means the alarm is fully protected against dust and can be submerged in up to one metre of water for 30 minutes. A rubber speaker grommet cover with waterproofing tabs is included to help maintain that protection around the speaker opening. |
| Battery: Single 476A 6-Volt with Low Battery Warning | The alarm runs off one 476A 6V battery, and a low battery warning lets you know when it needs replacing before it fails on the bank. Worth keeping a spare in your tackle bag, as this battery type is less common than standard AA or AAA cells. |
| Magnetic Auto-Deactivation in Hard Case | When you place the alarm in the supplied protective hard case, a magnetic switch automatically turns it off. This means you won't drain the battery during transit or storage without having to remember to switch it off manually. |
| Interchangeable Roller Wheels for Sensitivity | The alarm comes with a 2-magnet roller wheel fitted as standard. You can swap this for 4-magnet or 6-magnet wheels (sold separately) to increase sensitivity, which is useful in low-flow or slack-line situations where you need the alarm to pick up the smallest of line movements. |
| Anti-False-Alarm Wheel Position Detection | The alarm's logic tracks which direction the roller last moved and uses this to filter out false signals. In practice, this means you're less likely to be woken up by wind, debris, or line drift triggering spurious beeps. |
| LED Wheel Illumination and Betalight Accommodation | When a run is detected, an LED lights up in the alarm's own colour, giving you an instant visual cue at night to know which rod is away. There is also provision for fitting a Betalight, which is a self-luminous isotope vial that glows permanently in the dark without needing power, for extra visibility. |
| Ultra High Snag Ears | The ATTa has extended snag ears compared to the ATTs model. Snag ears are the raised lugs that cradle the rod and prevent it from being ripped off the alarm during a powerful take, which is especially important when fishing close to snags or heavy weed. |
| Super Strong Fixing Bolt | The bolt that secures the alarm head to your rod pod or bankstick is described as super strong, giving you confidence that the whole setup stays firmly in place during a take rather than loosening over time with repeated use. |
| Available Colours | The ATTa comes in five colours: White, Red, Green, Blue, and Purple. Each colour matches the LED that illuminates on a take, making it easy to tell at a glance which rod is active when you have multiple alarms set up along the bank. |
| What's Included | Each ATTa comes with the alarm head itself and a protective hard carrying case. The case doubles as a storage solution with the added benefit of the magnetic auto-off feature, so the alarm is ready to go and battery-safe whenever you pack down. |

Advanced Technology Tackle Audio. The ATTa is the audio-enabled version of Gardner's ATT alarm range, meaning it has a built-in speaker that can produce an on-bank sound, unlike the silent ATTs model which transmits wirelessly only.
Five colours: White, Red, Green, Blue, and Purple. Each alarm head illuminates in its chosen colour when a run is detected, making it easy to identify which rod is away at night on a multi-rod setup.
IP67 rated, meaning fully dust-proof and submersible to one metre for 30 minutes. A rubber speaker grommet cover with waterproofing tabs is included to maintain protection around the speaker opening. This is not as fully sealed as Gardner's ATTs model, which they describe as 100% watertight, because the ATTa's speaker aperture and rotary switch compromise total sealing.
A single 476A 6-volt battery. The alarm includes a low battery warning to alert you before it fails on the bank. Worth keeping a spare in your tackle bag, as this battery type is less common than standard AA or AAA cells and requires a small Philips screwdriver to change.
The alarm head and a protective hard carrying case. The case has a magnetic switch that automatically deactivates the alarm when you place it inside, preventing battery drain during transit or storage without having to remember to switch it off manually.
