Yes, it is. Unfortunately, this close to sea level, ozone will break down into oxygen gas shortly after being formed by the plasma arc, so effectively does not add any excess ozone to the atmosphere. Very good thought though.

P.S. they still should mass-produce them so that we can all get extreme sound quality cheaply!

The two videos here are very different types of plasma speakers. The first is a true plasma speaker. The plasma’s sound frequency is so high a human would never be capable of hearing it, and by modulating that frequency the plasma creates crystal clear tones of beauty.

The second video is just a set of Tesla Coils… the plasma frequency is the only frequency. It can only play a single note per tesla coil, and the note begins and ends with the plasma. While they’re a cool show, it would be near impossible to make them sound anything like the first video. (probably completely impossible)

ALSO, they don’t need a continuous source of any special gasses to operate. Both videos are of the arcs operating in normal air. They produce small amounts of ozone because of this. Using INERT gasses allows them to create the sound without creating ozone. It’s highly recommended for enclosed spaces, but not required for them to operate.

Now, William found that by varying the voltage to the arc, it changed the sound that was produced

It doesn’t just have plasma in its name. It has plasma, so it’s cool.

[...] So I came across these pretty cool speakers the other day that are based upon using a plasma arc. Apparently they have some very desirable properties such has having no transients or resonance problems because the plasma arcs have no mass and can respond instantly. I recommend watching the video because its pretty cool. More information can be found here. [...]

Those beat my Pioneers hands down and cost about 32 times as much.. at least it has plasma in its name so it’s cool anyway

The inventor and owner of Magnat in the 70′s had permanent lung damage from the effects of plasma ionization. Basically, the speakers killed him.
