Anaheim, CA (April 18, 2023)—Celestion debuted its new 18-inch PowerProX18 subwoofer on the 2023 NAMM Show.

According to the corporate, the subwoofer encompasses a cooling design that allows its voice coil to run 20°C cooler than comparable competitor drivers, thus lowering heat-related stress on the 4-inch glass-fiber voice coil former and different thermally delicate components. It additionally reduces the temperature-related rise in Re (coil resistance) that causes energy compression.

Celestion experiences it has recognized adhesives that guarantee extra driver efficiency and sturdiness. In the curiosity of efficiency longevity, particularly in out of doors purposes resembling concert events, the glass fiber-loaded cellulose cone is weatherproofed not solely on the entrance aspect, however on the again as nicely.

Celestion Copperback DSRs Roll Out

With a nominal impedance of 8 ohms, the PowerProX18 subwoofer’s energy score is 1200 watts nominal (AES) and 2400 watts steady. Sensitivity, measured at 1W@1m in 2π house is 97 dB. Its Bl (motor power) curve reveals symmetry, and as a result of cone’s polysiloxane-laminated twin suspension, which gives stability and cone displacement symmetry, the Okay (stiffness) curve additionally reveals symmetry, leading to decreased distortion.

An aluminum demodulation ring reduces the inductance (Le) of the motor circuit—1.61mH at 1 okHz—which additionally contributes to decreasing energy compression. The ring additionally reduces harmonic distortion because the voice coil and cone transfer within the hole towards both pole of the magnet.

The subwoofer has a usable frequency vary of 35 to 1,000 Hz, making it appropriate for giant subwoofer purposes. Xmax is calculated at ±9.3mm. Its chassis helps a 3.5kg ferrite magnet, whereas the general weight of the subwoofer is 13.2kg (29.1lb.)

Celestion Copperback DSRs Roll Out

Ipswich, UK (February 27, 2023)—Celestion has launched its Copperback assortment digitally as a Dynamic Speaker Response (DSR) to be used with the corporate’s SpeakerCombine Pro self-contained DAW plug-in.

Celestion touts its DSRs as “next-generation digital speaker responses that seize the sound and really feel of the speaker’s dynamic, non-linear responses” reportedly leading to improved tonal accuracy. for even better tonal element.

Designed with a special tonal taste in thoughts than different Celestion guitar audio system, the Copperback is meant to be extra tonally clear than others, presenting sonic traits and nuances of an amp and efficiency with out introducing a lot in the way in which of extra coloration that may be generated by cone break-up.

Product of the Week: Celestion CDX1-1412 Compression Driver

As a outcome, the Copperback reportedly offers tight lows, impartial low-mids, open upper-mid definition and well-controlled excessive treble. The speaker has been captured by the corporate’s sound engineers utilizing the identical strategies as all of Celestion’s IRs and DSRs, utilizing three studio microphones—a Shure SM57, a Royer R-121 ribbon mic and a Sennheiser MD421. Each mic was recorded in six completely different positions—every named inside the speaker response recordsdata as Balanced, Bright, fats, Thin, Dark and Dark 2—in addition to a rear mic place for the open again cabs. The addition of a Neumann TLM107 room mic offers the consumer with extra tonal choices.

The recordsdata for the Celestion Copperback DSRs sequence can be found individually or as an entire set. The Celestion Copperback DSR set consists of 5 cupboard configurations: 1×12 (each open and closed again), 2×12 (each open and closed again) and 4×12 (closed again).

The full Celestion digital collections of IRs and DSRs, in addition to the SpeakerCombine Pro plug-in, can be found for obtain on the firm’s web site.

Ipswich, UK (March 26, 2021)—Celestion has unveiled a new 32-ohm version of the AN2075, a low-profile 2-inch compact array driver intended for use for large-scale mini-array applications that require multiple drivers connected together.

The new 32ohm AN2075 driver, in common with the rest of the Celestion AN range of neodymium loudspeakers, utilizes an efficient neodymium magnet assembly and features a stiff, light aluminum cone that remains rigid to higher frequencies aiming to deliver a smoother response.

Celestion Launches SpeakerMix Pro Plug-in V1.1.0

All the drivers in the AN Series have been built using a glass-reinforced ABS chassis, designed for maximum free air movement, with a square mounting frame to facilitate close coupling of multiple units. Each of the series’ drivers has also been optimized using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) techniques to give a wide dispersion characteristic.

The driver’s square mounting frame facilitates close coupling of multiple units, and its half roll elastomer surround provides damping for unwanted resonances and sustained centering control at extremes of excursion. The driver is also weather resistant for outdoor applications.

Ipswich, UK (March 5, 2021)—Celestion has released the Version 1.1.0 Software Update for SpeakerMix Pro, its virtual speaker solution plug-in, which aims to bring detail and realism to ITB guitar and bass speaker tone.

SpeakerMix Pro works with both with Impulse Responses as well as Celestion’s proprietary Dynamic Speaker Responses (DSRs) which it presented as “the next generation of digital speaker responses.” The SpeakerMix Pro Solution enables users to capture and mix both IRs and DSRs for guitar speaker tones in a DAW.

Innovations: Celestion HornWizard App

The new update offers feature upgrades and fixes, as well as new functionality, including:

  • Previously, users had to log-in every 48 hours to maintain use of the plug-in. Now they can have up to 7 days of offline use before a login is required. If you have an internet connection during the 7-day cycle, everything happens in the background and you don’t need to enter your credentials again.
  • Various DAW integration bugs have been fixed, including fixes for crashes, window re-sizing issues and correction of visual glitches.
  • The user IR-loading in now automatically tunes a dynamic model from the user’s own favorite IRs. This uses Celestion’s DSR algorithm to build a dynamic response from the user’s existing IR to render feel and realism from favorite impulse responses, essentially turning existing IRs into DSR-type responses.
  • A new ‘mixer channel Copy and Paste’ functionality enables the setting from one mixer channel to be copied to and from any other mixer channel.

The new SpeakerMix Pro plug-in mixes up to six channels of different IRs into a stereo or mono track and can fix IR sample rate/project mismatches. SpeakerMix Pro is available for VST, AU and AAX-compatible DAWs, and the first 10 DSRs are free with the plug-in purchase.

Celestion to Discuss SpeakerMix Pro in New Webinar

New York, NY (December 23, 2020) – Celestion’s first-ever plug-in, SpeakerMix Pro, will be the exclusive focus of a new webinar, Guitar Tone Reimagined: Celestion SpeakerMix Pro, set for Tuesday, January 12, 2021, 2PM EST.

Celestion, known as the “King of Tone” for its celebrated, nearly 100-year history of building loudspeakers, has spent the past few decades or so devoted to supplying speaker drive units to the guitar amp and Professional Audio industry and more recently guitar speaker emulation.

Now the company is set to launch its first plug-in, SpeakerMix Pro, where users can dial in response characteristics of the Blue, Greenback, Vintage 30 or other speaker models and mix the results in a simple 6-channel, embedded mix panel.

With Guitar Tone Reimagined: Celestion SpeakerMix Pro, the panel, moderated by Mix Editor Tom Kenny, will discuss the World of Digital tone and how it has developed at Celestion since the introduction of Impulse Response in 2017; the decision to make a plug-in; the convolution process, and how it differs from traditional methods in SpeakerMix Pro; the use of traditional Impulse Responses; and why SpeakerMix Pro is different from any other plug-in on the market
