Spark Link Wireless Guitar System for Electric, Acoustic, Bass & More

I bought this last fall and used it a lot. Both at home and live. Unfortunately the internal wiring failed last month. I've had other brands with bendable plugs fail before and this is no exception. I emailed customer support sent the invoice from Amazon and they sent me a brand new system new in the box. I'll be more careful with this one... no need to bend these back and forth so much. I had a peek inside the failed unit (no loss if I damaged it... but I didn't). It was indeed a failed cable, but I was impressed with the quality overall of the components. The wire was designed to move back and forth (like headphone wiring) and I believe most of these units last longer than mine did. It just did not for me. I'll buy another set someday... The low latency and sound quality it is worth it to me even if they wear out... buy an extra set for backup.

I'm not a professional guitarist, but I play everyday for @ 2 hours and gig once a month for @ 3 hours. I always charge them overnight. Fully charged they have not run out on me yet. There is no discernable hum or static. Very clear. No signal loss or discernable latency. Super lightweight. I like the no fuss straight forward press and hold to pair feature. And I like the auto turn off after 30.minutes of no signal being processed to save battery life. These are really great for what I need them to do. So nice not lugging the extra weight of cables around and wrapping and packing that extra bulk. Great value. The paring/off on buttons are a little small, but doesn't take away from their value.

I've had these for a few months now. I only use them at home and if I happen to take a guitar to someone's house. No live settings. But, I've never had an issue with connecting or with latency or noise. Very happy with them so far!

Great sound battery could last longer

Much better than others I’ve tried. Connection to Spark 2 amp is stable and doesn’t cut out. Sound quality isn’t affected. Battery lasts for hours.

Great product. Works much better than the other one I bought. Arrived on time and well packaged.

The one star on this review reflects both the item, and Positive Grid as a company. Unfortunately both have been dissapointing. Bottom line up front: The Link works OK for passive instruments, but active pickups killed mine, and given enough time, will probably kill yours. The one star is because there is still, a year later, no indication that I can see on the product description that gives you a heads-up that the system is not designed for active pickups. Otherwise the Link system is on par with Xvive, Lekato, etc., but not as good as the Boss WL-20, which may not be as pretty, but is an auto-on, low-latency pleasure to use. Also, if you do have active pickups, the Boss WL-20L is actually made to handle that. Took me a bit of research to find it, so passing it on. OK, the finer points: When my Links imploded, I discovered how very user un-friendly the process of getting in touch with Positive Grid customer support is. and BTW, there is only email support. No phone. Even after you have a verified case, no phone. Then, as in my case, after a lot of back and forth and repetition, if they accept a return, you will need to fill out an email form, complete with serial numbers and all of your same pertinent info that was actually originally on your order. and.. of course.. they will charge you at least $15 for shipping, and $20 re-stock fee as a thank you for going through their obstacle course of customer support. I have done it twice now, so consider this expert advice. For full context, in all I have now used 5 Spark products: Go, 40, Link, Edge, and BiasFX. Go blew out from one month of use with bass, 40 never had much for power, and Link outright failed. The shining star of the Spark line is the Edge, which is absolutely, objectively, fantastic. Massive, high quality sound from a very portable cordless PA. Awesome. I'm riddled with anxiety that it might break, and I have to deal with Positive Grid again. BiasFX is also pretty good imho. So that's a success rate of 2/5. 40%.. In school that's an F. For customer support: three requests, three fails. Definitely an F. Final advice: Whatever you buy from Positive Grid A) Temper your expectations. Great ideas that are presented in artful design, but are inconsistently executed. B) Definitely get it through Amazon. That will be your one chance to circumvent the BS of Positive Grid customer support. If anything goes wrong, hope it goes wrong in time to return it through Amazon. Don't waste your effort going to the company.

You will not regret this purchase. These things are magic. No cords? For your entire rehearsal session? Yup! It’s just that easy. You charge both of them up, and then plug them into their respective spots, and play your heart out. That’s about it!

E' il primo sistema wireless che acquisto e quindi non ho termini di paragone, se non quello con i cavi di qualità che utilizzo di solito. Io non sento alcuna differenza e la cosa mi ha stupito. Ci ho messo anni ad ottimizzare il mio piccolo studio per utilizzare i single coil senza rumori di fondo: ho traslato il PC principale - quello acceso H24 - in un angolo della stanza. E poi tanti accorgimenti e tentativi con cavi, pedali, amplificatori, interfacce, isolatori di massa e tanto altro. Tutto per eliminare qualsiasi rumore o ronzio. E ci sono riuscito. E al contempo ho sempre voluto utilizzare un sistema wireless, ma temevo fosse qualcosa di inadatto alle mie fissazioni e al tripudio di interferenze che avrebbe dovuto affrontare. Ho voluto provare il prodotto di Positive Grid perchè la qualità dei loro prodotti è sempre ottima. Non sono un fan dei loro software: sono anni luce da Neural o anche solo da S-Gear, ma dal lato hardware mi hanno stupito più di una volta. Lo Spark Mini è incredibile, per esempio. E ho pensato che se la Positive Grid lanciava un prodotto del genere in un mercato piuttosto affollato, doveva averlo preparato per bene. In effetti per ora sono molto soddisfatto. Efficacia di trasmissione, buoni i materiali, bello il design. La costruzione sembra robusta e l'utilizzo è semplice: tieni premuto il tasto per 3 secondi, si accendono e si sincronizzano. Per spegnere basta tenere premuto solo il trasmettitore e dopo 15 secondi il ricevitore si spegne per conto suo. Che altro dire... Perchè i jack non sono placcati oro? Bordino color oro, plastica superiore color oro... ci voleva poco di più per fare un prodotto dall'aspetto veramente premium. Comunque l'importante è altro e terrò aggiornata la recensione.

This has got to be one of the most straightforward and effective wireless system for guitars. Works confidently as advertised.

La latencia no se nota, la calidad del audio se mantiene, la batería podría durar más pero porque yo los uso en casa una hora como mucho y los cargo cuando ya me encuentro que se han descargado (pasan días) y en ese momento me molesta (pero sí, es culpa mía). Por lo demás, los recomiendo mucho.

Já possuía o sistema sem fio da Shure, e fiquei curioso pra saber como funcionava esse, bem mais prático, com menos elementos, e sem necessidade de pilhas (o Shure precisa de duas AA). fiquei satisfeito! mas a força do sinal não se compara... a do Shure é melhor, sem dúvida, mas esse sistema simples da Positive Grid resolve bem em situações de gig onde não haja muitos instrumentos.

I like this one. It looks clean and elegant, and most important, it works for me. Battery is good for one whole worship service.
