Price on the 3 band ISO? Still $1795?

I believe dat unit is discontinued. Shorty is no longer with Summit Audio to produce Thrive products. He's now teamed up with Wave distribution and now made the ISO-Q2 which I can't recall exact price but I believe it's about $1100/$1200??

I thought I had heard that you could purchase Thrive products
through any Summit authorized dealer a while back....

I could be very wrong...
but the whois for the www.thrivesound.com website does point to a guy named Erik Papp....

who maybe is the same Erik Papp tied to Summit...

Absolutely not true my friend. Thrive always was and always will be engineered and manufactured by Summit Audio and availability today is the same as in the past.

This includes: the high-end [Isolator] version pictured above, and the more minimal [Cutter] version.

Thrive processing and amplifiers are right now being sold to top dj's, nightclubs, studios and musicians around the world. I have Thrive products in nightclubs going on 5+ years of continuous use. I really can't speak more highly about the line. There are some fantastic competing products out there, but to my experience, Thrive processing and amplification is simply the best out there.

I am a Thrive dealer and would be more then happy to get anyone more information, pricing and availability. Just e-mail me at: adam@sonicsolutionsav.com

Blue Audio aquired summit?

atf104 · #9 02-11-2012, 09:48 PM

#1 it's acquired, #2, Yes, April of last year, so not sure of the point in your comment. Summit is still Summit and Thrive is still designed, engineered and built by the same people.

Was posting from my cell phone quickly, which was the spelling error

I am Erik Papp. The former CEO of Summit Audio Inc. I am the founder, director and owner of Thrive. In 2011, the Summit Audio Brand was acquired by Blue Microphones. Thrive Equipment is available and currently built to order. The same individuals that have always designed and built Thrive Gear are involved in producing product. Thrive was in no related to the acquisition of the Summit Brand.

Thanks for setting the record straight Erik.

In the picture of the isolator at the top of this thread, the knobs are much larger than the picture on the Thrive website. Is it possible to purchase these larger knobs?

atf104 · #14 02-28-2012, 12:07 PM

The photos on the site were a prototype or first run I believe. The knobs on the unit in this thread are what come with the Isolator now.

The photo below are from the last major install I did with the Thrive amplifiers.

Just a comment on them: We've had HVAC problems at this club. When its full, the club overheats, including the cooling area behind the racks. We've had some massive parties over the last year and it's just amazing how reliable and resilient the amps are. They never miss a beat. I have another install all Thrive powered that's coming up on 5 years old soon, with about 6 Thrive amps and a dozen Crown amps for aux zones, etc. I've gone through 2 or 3 of the Crowns, fans gone, misc problems. The Thrive stuff NEVER dies. Besides the amazing fidelity, it's a proven roadworthy product that I just can't speak highly enough about.

Last week at the club, Nicky Romero, close to 1000 people, club packed, and Nicky commented that it's one of the best sound systems he's ever heard.
Nicky's a young guy, part of the new generation of dj's and currently has like 4 tracks on the Beatport charts including the #1 with David Guetta.

'this sounds amazing'

redlining the mixer like crazy in the meantime (I can't see it, but I know it)

I always like seeing smaller companies that do custom work do so well! makes me keep hope for a better club sound quality standard someday

One of the greatest DJ's in the world at arguably one of the greatest clubs on Earth: Danny Tenaglia using the Thrive isolator for one his marathon sets at STEREO

bartonn · #17 09-27-2012, 10:29 PM

What a great night/day that was at stereo ((())). Left at 5am, slept till 11, went back at noon and had a wonderful afternoon in church! More space to spread out and Danny toned it down a notch and let loose with some seriously good music.

cocoy · #18 09-28-2012, 01:27 AM

Hey Adam,

The picture of Stereo's DJ booth should be included in the "Pictures" thread.

NICE!
