On the occasion of our 100th anniversary, A Century of Sound: The Story of Celestion is a detailed and engrossing history that tells how Celestion grew from a company building radiograms in a tiny factory in South-West London to become the internationally renowned loudspeaker brand it is today.
Covering 226 pages, this hard backed volume is packed with photographs, illustrations and marketing materials that bring to life a journey spanning the advent of radio broadcasting through to the emergence of guitar speaker digital impulse responses, taking in the pivotal roles that Celestion has played in early home entertainment, the invention of speakers specifically for the guitar amplifier, the early days of pro PA systems, the golden age of home HiFi and the development of high-performance sound reinforcement.
Written by our own John Paice with contributions from Jerry Gilbert and long-term Celestion aficionado and guitar legend Brian May, A Century of Sound: The Story of Celestion is a must-read for all fans of audio technology and offers much to a wider audience interested in 20th Century British social history, and the many twists and turns that occur along the way to attaining global brand recognition.
A Century of Sound: The Story of Celestion is available to buy now from selected on-line retailers.
