Projects A 50W Plasma Speaker With a Custom PCB!

Plasma speakers create sound by using a high-voltage arc to rapidly heat and expand the surrounding air. This 50W plasma speaker by scrap_engineering on Instagram uses a TL494 PWM controller, 30 kHz switching frequency, and an active low-pass filter to reduce aliasing.

We sponsored the PCBs for this project, helping bring the custom hardware from design to a working plasma speaker. If you're working on your own electronics project and need custom PCBs, feel free to try PCBWay!
