SOUND
Go all the
way to epic.
At the heart of Spark LIVE is Sonic IQ, a harmonious synergy between hardware and software driven by a dedicated computational audio chip. This groundbreaking fusion of advanced technologies ensures uncompromised tone quality and unsurpassed functionality.
Sonic IQ, our revolutionary computational audio engine, merges advanced signal processing and acoustic engineering to enhance sound quality in a variety of settings. It delivers precise, immersive audio experiences and a clear, deep tonal range.
Spark LIVE’s innovative sound is powered by a dedicated computational audio chip, enabling it to dynamically adapt to different inputs and placements. The result is a powerful, compact powerhouse, perfect for musicians who need portability without sacrificing audio quality.
Spark LIVE redefines big sound with its versatile G-Sensor, which detects the amp's orientation and placement, automatically adapting to its environment and tuning its EQ for optimal sound.
Place it vertically for a focused, punchy output or turn it on its side for wide, expansive stereo effect.
Spark LIVE's acoustic design combines advanced speaker technology with computational audio. Featuring custom-angled tweeters, dedicated woofers and reflex ports, it ensures crisp highs and deep lows. The system's dedicated tuning chip harmonizes FRFR, DSP, and Computational Audio for balanced, full-spectrum sound. This synergy of components, developed through our data-driven approach, results in Spark LIVE's unmatched acoustic performance.
