First of all, the Spooky2’s Generator-XM and GX devices do not have enough power to drive the ultrasonic rod directly, so using the Spooky2 ultrasonic rod requires an amplifier, just like the way the Central Unit is used as the amplifier to drive the plasma bulb, the central unit has a Ultrasonic output, but it is not a direct frequency output port, it will run ultrasonics at harmonics of the plasma input frequency, which limits its stand-alone use. The Spooky2 ultrasonic wand is used as a complement to the plasma, and its harmonics work, in fast mode, the harmonics are 1/16 of the input frequency, and in slow mode, the harmonics are 1/256 of the input frequency. So, while the ultrasonic wand goes up to 1 MHz, it’s basically limited to the following range:
- Fast: 6,250 Hz – 187,500 Hz
- Slow: 390.625 Hz – 11,718.75 Hz
Hence, it only uses about 20% of the rod’s output frequency range, but as a supplement to the plasma, it is enough to improve the efficacy of the plasma device.
