We’ve seen some pretty unique desktop speaker designs come and go over the past few years ranging from Joey Roth’s Ceramic Speakers to the custom upcycled designs over at Soundpauli. However none of these designs use a 30,000 volt arc to ionize and compress thin air to play your sweet tunes…which is what the new ARC Plasma speaker kit from ExcelPhysics is all about!

The Arc Plasma Speaker Kit

Including everything that you need to get The Dark Side of the Moon up and running for your psychedelic black light party, the kit comes with a BIG warning about the dangers of plasma speakers (making them all the more fun, right):

Plasma speakers are dangerous. Never leave one unattended and only use them for short periods of time (ideally under 2 hours) in well-ventilated areas. Also, make sure that no bodily parts or conductive material go near the electric arc. Proceed with caution. If you aren’t comfortable assembling the plasma speaker, find some help. ExcelPhysics cannot be held liable for any damages that occurs during assembly or use of this kit. You must be responsible for your own safety and well being.

Features

Simple plug and play audio jack for use with phone, mp3, or computer.

Uses a laptop power supply that conveniently plugs into any three prong outlet. Can handle 110 or 220 voltages (U.S./Europe/Asia).

Portable design allows it to be carried in one hand!

Sleek laser cut case makes it cool to display!

Loud enough to be heard in a crowded living room!

Plasma ARC “dances” to the music it plays!

Glows in the dark!

Can be used to create a singing Jacob’s ladder and other fun experiments!

Having already met their goal on Kickstarter, the kit should at least be a cool conversation starter…just be weary of what might happen when you crank the volume to 11.
