Vintage 30 60W, 12" Guitar Speaker

CELESTION VINTAGE 30 RAW FRAME DRIVER: OVERVIEW: At the Celestion factory, not one speaker production line is totally automated. There are certain parts of the construction process which Celestion will only entrust to their skilled engineers, ensuring that every Celestion speaker retains the unique tonal characteristics that have made us famous. The Vintage 30 is a particularly special speaker and it needs even more human attention than usual. A modern speaker that can trace its roots to the original G12, the Vintage 30 combines high power handling with an instantly recognisable vintage tone. Seemingly twice as loud as anything else at the same power level (it has been said that a Vintage 30 makes a 50W head sound like a 100W), it handles massive overdrive sounds with ease. The Vintage 30's 100dB sensitivity makes it ideal for use in high-gain tube amps and with tight bass, fat mids and a smooth, harmonically rich top, a fantastic '70s rock sound comes with all the added bass and overdrive you could ever want. Those with heart problems may want to consider a more subtle speaker from their range!

In the '80s, Celestion set out to develop a modern speaker capable of delivering classic Alnico Blue-style British guitar tone, but able to handle much more power and overdrive. This was achieved by coupling a Heavy 'H' ceramic magnet (the closest in performance to Alnico) with a new cone and voice coil.The result was the Vintage 30, Celestion's most revealing speaker. It features enormously detailed and complex overtones, a warm low end, a famously rich vocal mid-range and a beautifully detailed top end. Use on its own to reveal the complexities in hand-wired boutique amps, or in a 4x12 for a wonderfully intricate three-dimensional crunch. Over the past 25 years, the Vintage 30 sound has been captured on thousands of recordings from a diverse range of players.Tone of Celestion Blue with more power handling 60W power rating 100db sensitivity Round copper voice coil Ceramic magnet 70-5kHz frequency range
