Common Questions

3.5mm cable gives the best timing. Bluetooth works but adds 15-50ms of latency. Use the calibration tool to compensate.
Yes. Use the built-in sequencer to create custom sounds. Single-note melodies and square waves work best. Complex audio with multiple instruments will sound muddy.
The Spark Mini is low-power and safe for desktop use. The Arc One and Storm Pro need proper clearance and respect. Read the safety guide. Never touch the coil while it is running.
The Spark Mini is perfect for beginners. Portable, safe, impressive arcs for its size. The Arc One is the sweet spot for hobbyists who want bigger arcs without the complexity of a DRSSTC.
