Ipswich, UK (October 11, 2022) —Celestion, the celebrated manufacturer of guitar and bass loudspeakers and professional audio drivers for sound reinforcement applications, is very pleased to announce that the Celestion A Type is available as a Dynamic Speaker Response (DSR,) the next-generation digital speaker responses that capture the sound and feel of the speaker’s dynamic, non-linear responses for even more tonal detail. All Celestion DSRs are designed especially for use with SpeakerMix Pro, the self-contained studio-grade DAW plug-in which brings ground-breaking levels of detail and stunning guitar and bass speaker tones. The complete collection of DSRs, as well as the SpeakerMix Pro plug-in, is available for download at CelestionPlus.com.

The Celestion A-Type is a different kind of guitar speaker – it is modern American tone meets undeniable Celestion character. Still faithful to the Celestion sonic spirit, the A-Type features a big, blooming low-end meeting relaxed mids and smooth, silky highs with surprising results. Explore alternative tonal possibilities and unleash a bold new voice from your amplifier.
Supremely musical and three-dimensional in sound, the A-Type has a more laid-back midrange than other speakers in the company’s range, revealing body and complexity across the entire frequency spectrum. Players looking for clean tones will enjoy the smooth articulation, while rock fans will rejoice in the thundering low end.

The Dynamic Speaker Response (DSR) files for the Celestion A Type series are available individually or as a complete set. Explore the full range of sounds for this classic speaker, at a considerable saving over buying the individual files. The Celestion A Type DSR set includes five cabinet configurations: 1×12 (both open and closed back), 2×12 (both open and closed back) and 4×12 (closed back).

As a host program for the new A Type and the entire line of Celestion DSRs, SpeakerMix Pro presents the genuine next-generation virtual speaker solution. More than just a top-level IR loader and convolution engine for hosting impulse responses– it offers pristine sound, mixes up to six channels of different responses into a stereo or mono track and even fixes IR sample rate/project mismatches.

With SpeakerMix Pro, users can:

● Discover Celestion’s proprietary Dynamic Speaker Responses (DSRs), the next generation in Impulse Response technology that capture the sound and feel of the speaker’s dynamic, non-linear response for even more detail and realism.
● Integrate their personal library of Celestion and third-party Impulse Responses to make the most of the tones they already own. SpeakerMix Pro uses its unique DSR algorithm to make existing IRs more dynamic sounding, enhancing their tone with even greater feel.
● Incorporate Celestion’s superb room responses (or add your own) into your mix for an authentic ‘live’ sound. Add room delay for further ‘depth’ and ‘size’.
● Deploy the unique Z-curve function to closely model the dynamic electrical coupling between amp and speaker.
● Fine-tune the mic position, enabling the user to adjust the position of the microphone across the speaker until they’ve found the tone that’s just-right (DSR-specific functionality).

The free 14-day demo of SpeakerMix Pro is available for download and automatically installs with 10 free DSR speaker cabinets curated to give users a broad tone experience across the Celestion range of guitar and bass speakers. Users can upgrade to the full version of SpeakerMix Pro at any time during or after the trial period. Simply purchase the full version of SpeakerMix Pro and select 10 free DSR cabs (choose the preferred DSRs from the available range on Celestionplus.com during upgrade).

All of Celestion’s Dynamic Speaker Responses and SpeakerMix Pro plugin are available for VST, AU and AAX compatible DAWs.

Available in 8 ohm or 16 ohm variants, this pressed steel frame, ceramic

magnet guitar speaker delivers 70-watt power handling and an output sensitivity

(SPL) of 98dB.

The V-Type produces an exciting, modern vintage sound that’s described as “airy and open, while delivering a formidable low end.” It is a speaker that provides authentic Celestion tone whatever your style and just makes you want to keep on playing.

Clean sounds are true across the lows, mids and highs, with just enough upper-mid chime and HF sparkle to add clarity and definition. Crank it up for a sizzling overdrive and raw rock tones, with plenty of mid-band warmth to give body and substance to lead note playing.

To achieve this, Celestion’s guitar speaker experts have carried out extensive work to refine the traditional manufacturing process. They applied advanced engineering know-how together with the application of modern materials, including innovations first used with the best-selling Creamback.

This has enabled the exploration of new tonal possibilities without compromising power handling or sensitivity, and still remaining faithful to the sonic spirit of Celestion’s greatest guitar speakers.

The result is something that offers a different ‘flavor’ compared to a G12M or G12H. The V-Type is a sweet-sounding speaker with a superbly balanced tonal signature that imparts a real vintage musicality; built with the modern player in mind.

A cool retro look complements the authentic Celestion tonality, so no-one should be in any doubt of this remarkable speaker’s family history. The V-Type truly is a modern guitar speaker with a vintage pedigree.

Ipswich, UK (July 15, 2024) — Celestion, the premier manufacturer of loudspeakers for sound reinforcement and guitar and bass applications, proudly announces the appointment of Poppy Hanton as Marketing Executive. In her new role at Celestion, Ms. Hanton will work on a number of projects across the company’s marketing landscape including web, social media, content creation, advertising, and projects with external partners.

Poppy Hanton brings a variety of invaluable experience to Celestion, spanning professional audio, music festival marketing, copywriting, social media and higher education. This experience has its genesis in her own musicianship. “My personal interest, and the fact that I’m a gigging guitarist has let me spend time with so many knowledgeable people across diverse areas of the industry,” she reflects. “So, I’ve long known of Celestion for their outstanding quality.”

Hanton is also quite familiar with Celestion’s products for PA and sound reinforcement. “I purchased my last couple of amps partly because they employed Celestion speakers,” she notes. “However, their product range extends far beyond guitar speakers; they have a strong position in the pro audio and P.A. markets as well. I look forward to working with our creative teams to raise awareness of just how many different types of solutions the Celestion brand comprises.”

Hanton’s degree in English and Communications led to her first posting at the Norwich campus of Access Creative College. The school’s arts-and-music focus took her to many festivals, culminating in the position of Communications Officer at the Norfolk & Norwich Festival, a 17-day multi-arts event that takes place at multiple venues. “I worked with artists and their teams and promoted events,” she explains, “with a particular focus on digital content output. I did not necessarily start out with the intention of drawing together my twin passions for music and audio on one hand and communications on the other, but it has progressed naturally.”

“Celestion have always been passionate about innovation,” says Ken Weller, Head of Marketing at Celestion. “Poppy’s knowledge and experience across music, technology, and communications makes her a perfect fit for our innovative team.”
