Product information

General

With the Spark LIVE, Positive Grid introduce a true game-changer when it comes to gigging gear. You're looking at a 4-channel smart amp and PA system crammed into a compact and lightweight unit that can be connected to your guitar, bass guitar, microphone, keyboard or everything all at once. The Sonic IQ Computational Audio engine ensures astonishing sound no matter the room you're in, while a built-in G-sensor gyroscope automatically applies sound setting tweaks based on vertical versus horizontal placement.

The Spark LIVE: Stereo Smart Amp

Instead of simply building a bigger and better version of the original Spark, Positive Grid have opted to push technological limits and redefine the concept of a gigging amplifier. Powered by a 150W class-D amplifier, the Spark LIVE serves up four channels and is fully supported by the upgraded Spark app, handing you discrete channel control and access to 36 amp models and 50 effects.

Riveting Sound

The Positive Grid Spark LIVE is driven by Sonic IQ technology. This computational audio engine combines advanced signal processing with acoustic engineering for optimised audio depending on the room, resulting in a precise, immersive audio and a clear, deep tonal range. This compact powerhouse is perfect for musicians looking for a portable solution without sacrificing audio quality. Smaller but no less welcome features include the built-in multi-angle stand, XLR dynamic microphone input, and the built-in standard 35mm PA mount.

Positive Grid Spark LIVE 4-Channel Smart Amp & PA System

I bought the spark live and the spark cab from BAX wasn’t cheap. Brilliant concept but it’s dreadful. Presets disappear
Bluetooth disappears
The unmute button doesn’t work
And Positive grid customer support is no existent

Waiting for a response before I get legal consumer advice for a refund on both products

Positive Grid Spark LIVE 4-Channel Smart Amp & PA System

I was really excited to receive this and it worked out of the box. The app on the phone kept pestering for a firmware update so I thought I'd just get that done and out of the way...

I attempted to update the firmware using the pc app from the official website, followed the instructions and the process failed .. but what is worse is the amp would no longer turn on. I proceeded to follow the instructions on the website as there is an alternative firmware Installer, but this require's the amp to be turned on, and the thing wouldn't switch on. There seems to be no live support from Positive Grid, no phone number or live chat, and support emails took around 2 days to respond.

I am an IT professional and tried other things, such as factory reset and power cycles to no avail. The thing was DEAD. I tried the installers from a Mac and still no luck and no response from PG after around 5 hours.

After around 5 hours, the firmware update from the Mac did work and I got a response from PG 2 days later.

So I had quite a traumatic experience with this amp.

Having said that, it sounds great. I just won't be upgrading the firmware in future.

Positive Grid Spark LIVE 4-Channel Smart Amp & PA System

De Spark live is een prima klinkende versterker met gigantisch veel mogelijkheden, toch maar drie sterren omwille van hun Bluetooth systeem, verbinding van een android tablet met de Spark live voor de patches is hopeloos, je moet hemel en aarde verzetten om tot een verbinding te komen die dan vrij snel weer wegvalt waardoor je weer van vooraan terug moet beginnen! met een Ipad werkt het systeem wel prima, dan uitbreiding met de controler X, niets dan ellende gekend, volgens de instructie filmpjes is het poep simpel, niet dus, waar deze fabrikant in faalt is de ondersteuning, Positive grid is ambitieus maar hebben geen ondersteunend team dat klanten met problemen professioneel en op een eenvoudige manier door de problemen heen kan loodsen! Ook updates van het systeem zorgt voor behoorlijk wat frustraties! Ik gebruik de versterker ook voor gigs, je bent steeds afhankelijk van Wifi om met de patches te werken wat niet overal evident is! Kortom is het een leuke versterker die door het afhankelijk zijn van Wifi en bluetooth regelmatig faalt en niet betrouwbaar is voor live optredens, wel een leuke compacte versterker voor in de woonkamer!

Positive Grid Spark LIVE 4-Channel Smart Amp & PA System

Zet de metalen delen van al mijn gitaren onder spanning. Ook het vervangende exemplaar, zelfs als hij uit staat. Constant schokjes krijgen torpedeert het speelplezier aardig. Dubbelcheck met verschillende gitaren, versterkers en kabels en enkel de combinatie met de positive grid zet spanning op mijn gitaren.

Positive Grid Spark LIVE 4-Channel Smart Amp & PA System

In mijn ogen is dit alles wat ik nodig had! Zelf ben ik nog niet heel lang thuis in de elektrische gitaren, de app met mogelijke tonen en effecten maakt dit geen enkel probleem. Heel makkelijk in bediening, leuk om bepaalde effecten van gekende liedjes of artiesten te kunnen opzoeken. Ideaal als PA systeem en met meerderen te connecteren. Tot hiertoe nog geen seconde spijt gehad van deze aankoop!

Positive Grid Spark LIVE 4-Channel Smart Amp & PA System

Ik heb de Positive Grid Live nu drie weken in huis. Ik heb heel lang getwijfeld, alle filmpjes bekeken, reviews gelezen en uiteindelijk tot de aankoop overgegaan.
Ik moet zeggen; het overtreft mijn verwachtingen. Het is perfect voor kleine optredens en kan inderdaad als PA systeem makkelijk gebruikt worden.
Wat ik ook geweldig vind, is dat je zelfs thuis op lagere volumes nog steeds zeer goed geluid hebt.
De app is ook perfect om te oefenen op al je muziek, die je maar kan indenken.
Voor mij een perfecte aankoop!
