Upgrade your tone

This is the first step in finding the right speaker. When choosing a new speaker, you will be wondering what to do. But don't worry. Here are some examples to help you enter the world of Celestion. If you do not find what you are looking for, you still have more options.

Due to the high volume of players looking for their own sound in the 1960s, amplifier manufacturers produced durable speakers that matched the excessive sound pressure and reliable speakers of the new musical style of that era. Since then, Celestion has made every effort to create the best speakers. Looking back on those days, those speakers had a special sound. That is the origin of the name Vintage Tone.

The 4x12 cabinet was originally created in the 1960s. Before the full-scale PA systems appeared, 4x12 cabinets were connected to high-power amplifiers so that the sound of the guitar amplifier could be heard by a large audience. Today, 4x12 cabinets are synonymous with genres like rock and heavy metal.

Typically, high-end boutique amplifiers require speakers with the sound that developers aim for because they are made up of high-performance parts to meet the player's advanced demands. Celestion responds with every possibility to bring life to the image of the specific sound you want.

Celestion guitar speakers are widely known for their complex and musical distortion characteristics, but sometimes it is desirable to have a clean sound without distortion. The following models are speakers for players who want to play clean and speedy sounds with loud sounds, and want to hear each sound clearly.

For the longest time, the evolution of the amp has been to pursue greater power. However, connecting a modern amplifier to a speaker made in the early 60's could, at worst, cause it to fail. The speakers introduced here are made to reproduce the traditional Celestion sound, with the intention of connecting to a high power amplifier.

A more recent approach is to combine speakers of different characteristics in order to create a special cocktail-like blended sound. Celestion takes this approach and proposes some combinations here.

Check Point

1. Impedance match (ohms)：The speakers mounted in the same cabinet use the same impedance.
2. Power：Experience shows that for 2x12 cabinets, the maximum output value is twice that of the lowest rated speaker input, and for 4x12 cabinets, the amplifier needs to have four times the lowest rated power.
3. Sensitivity matching：For best performance, make the sensitivity difference less than 3 dB.

In the late 50's, Celestion modified the radio speaker (G12) to create the first guitar speaker. The alnico magnet allows a stronger attack, has the clarity of a bell, and gave birth to guitar amplifiers that you could drive hard, with a unique characteristic. The Blue series is part of the Beatles sound and has been loved by many guitar legends.

The excellent 10-inch speaker has wide directional characteristics and expresses quick response and punchy sound. On smaller stages, it offers clean sound, small size, low cost, and can be overdriven without raising volume.
