Positive Grid Spark NEO

Positive Grid Spark NEO — Wireless AI-Powered Guitar Headphone Amplifier

The Positive Grid Spark NEO is a wireless guitar setup built into over-ear headphones, pairing the Spark tone engine with a proprietary 2.4 GHz transmitter, custom 40 mm ABF drivers, and Bluetooth 5.0 for true private practice. Whether you play electric, acoustic-electric, or bass, ultra-low latency tone shaping comes with zero cable clutter. This model is ideal for guitarists wanting a full-featured rig with complete silence for those nearby.

What Sets the Spark NEO Apart

While most practice headphones rely on phone apps and generic Bluetooth codecs, the Spark NEO is supplied with a dedicated 2.4 GHz transmitter offering 3.8 ms latency for a real-time feel. The Advanced Bio Fiber diaphragm and acoustic chambers with reflex ports recreate the response of a real amp cabinet. Spark AI tone, Auto Chords, and access to more than 100,000 ToneCloud presets mean the headphones double as a learning platform.

Tone Engine — Full Spark Amp Modeling On Your Head

The DSP engine mirrors the Spark amp structure, delivering a vast library of modeled amps and effects in a single device. Access Reverb, Compressor, Noise Gate, Distortion, Modulation/EQ, and Delay blocks, all controllable with four onboard presets for instant recall.

• Number of Channels: 4 — Four onboard customizable presets enable quick tone switching for any genre.
• With 33 amp models covering boutique to modern voicings powered by the BIAS engine, players can explore new sonic territories.
• Effects include Reverb, Compressor/Wah, Noise Gate, Distortion, Modulation/EQ, and Delay — 43 blocks in total for full signal-chain versatility.

Audio Performance — Drivers Tuned for Guitar

The 40 mm ABF diaphragm drivers and acoustic chambers with reflex ports target the frequencies of electric and bass guitars, ensuring clarity for clean arpeggios and tightness for palm-muted riffs. Passive noise isolation from ergonomic ear cushions maintains focus in shared spaces.

• Drivers: 40 mm ABF Diaphragm — Custom-engineered for extended guitar and bass frequency response.
• With a frequency range from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, sub-bass depth and crisp highs are faithfully reproduced.
• Headphone Sensitivity: 100 dB SPL @ 1 kHz — Designed for efficient, fatigue-free long practice sessions.

Wireless System — True Cable-Free Playing

Plug the proprietary 2.4 GHz transmitter into any standard guitar output and pair instantly for freedom from cable tangles. Bluetooth 5.0 operates on a separate channel, preventing overlap between backing tracks and guitar. A 1/4" input keeps practice going if the transmitter's battery runs down.

• Wireless: 2.4 GHz proprietary, 3.8 ms latency — Transmission range extends up to 5 m.
• Bluetooth 5.0 on a separate wireless channel keeps the audio streams distinct for a seamless practice experience.
• Battery Life provides up to 6 hours with guitar plus Bluetooth, or 8 hours in Bluetooth-only mode — USB-C charging completes in about 3.5 hours.

Who Should Use the Spark NEO

Guitarists and bassists who require a silent practice setup at home or on the road will find the Spark NEO adaptable for many situations. Auto Chords and Spark AI tone features help beginners, while experienced players benefit from 33 amps and 43 effects in a portable unit. Those practicing late at night will appreciate the folding design, 366 g weight, and 6-hour battery life.
