RE: Is that the speaker which produced all the ozone, and. . .

Well, it did produce ozone, but....


I just found this website https://hillplasmatronics.com/ which states:

"Those of us who have read alarming things about the toxic effects of ozone may wonder how much of a problem it is with this system. Well, the Plasmatronics do generate ozone, but in such small quantities that after three hours of continuous operation, it could barely be smelled at a distance of 12″ from either speaker. This concentration of ozone is so far below the toxicity (or of potential damage to rubber and plastics) that to worry about it may be symptomatic of some degree of neurosis.
...

"The Ozone Generator"

False. "I was a dealer for Plasmatronics and have heard many wild tales about this speaker. First. It was not a health hazard. The odors produced by the arc were not ozone which I was told was not produced in quantities large enough to be harmful, said Dr. Hill, but was mentioned by jealous competitors to restrict sales of this speaker by making it appear as producing unhealthful gas.

I listened to them for over four years and suffered no ill effects. They did produce an odor, but it was not ozone. My demo room was not well ventilated and I can assure you that a man of Dr. Hill's integrity would go broke rather than market a speaker dangerous to a person's health!

You can bank on the word of Dr. Hill and my experience over several years as a reference to their safety. I have never seen a testimony or legitimate fact sheet which proved they were unhealthful. Some competitors and critics were simply uptight about the Hill accomplishment and resorted to untruths to defeat sales of this radical but ingenious design." - Carl Miller

"That's correct, virtually no ozone. Now here's an example of something that made lots of ozone...-" - Nelson Pass " (see above cover of Stereophile with pic of Nelson Pass)
