The amplifier measures in at just six-inches in width and is paired with a built-in handle that will enable it to be easily shifted between locations or around an existing space. The 10W amp is ideal for users to practice with and emulates the audio feedback of traditional tube amps. The Positive Grid 'Spark MINI' amplifier is paired with a USB interface and a line out to allow for easy connections with PCs, audio interfaces or mixers. The unit also doubles as a Bluetooth speaker and will provide up to eight-hours of use per charge of the internal battery pack. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 38% | Activity: 12% | Freshness: 11% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Portable Connected Musician Amplifiers:** The trend towards portable, connected musician amplifiers offers opportunities for disruptive innovation in the audio equipment industry. - **Compact and Versatile Audio Equipment:** The trend towards compact and versatile audio equipment offers opportunities for disruptive innovation in the music technology industry. - **Integrated Digital Music Equipment:** The trend towards integrated digital music equipment offers opportunities for disruptive innovation in the electronic music industry. ### Who This Affects Most - **Audio Equipment:** The audio equipment industry can embrace portable, connected amplifiers that offer integrated digital capabilities. - **Music Technology:** The music technology industry can embrace the trend towards compact and versatile audio equipment that provide easy integration with other devices and software. - **Electronic Music:** The electronic music industry can embrace the trend towards integrated digital music equipment that simplify the creation and production of digital music. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Miniature Guitar Practice Amps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/guitar-practice-amp.md) - [Palm-Sized Portable Amps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/positive-grid-spark-go.md) - [Portable Amp PA Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spark-live.md) - [Travel-Friendly Practice Amps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boss-katanamini-x.md) - [Headphone-Connected Guitar Amps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/positive-grid-spark-neo.md) - [Compact High-Quality Amplifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fishman.md) - [Practice-Promoting Guitar Amplifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/practice-guitar-amplifier.md) - [Backpack-Style Amplifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/backpack-amplifier.md) - [Headphone-Friendly Wireless Amplifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wireless-guitar-amplifier.md)
