This is a [wireless amp and PA system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plus-minus-zero) in one. The wireless connectivity on this amp uses the Bluetooth 5.0 standard, which is more than enough for what it uses wireless for. In terms of its wired connections, the Spark LIVE features a USB input, a 1/4" input, a combo 1/4" XLR port, a 1/8" port, as well as two 1/4" outputs and two DIN 5pin MIDI jacks. Positive Grid markets the Spark LIVE as a future-proof device due to its wide combination of additional features. It includes Sonic IQ computational audio, a PA system with a built-in mixer, a number of audio effects, and adaptive sound levels making it gig-ready.
