VINTAGE
30

We made pioneering use of Laser Doppler
Interferometry to analyse the cone
behaviour of an original Celestion Blue. We
could then form a precise model of the
vintage speaker’s characteristics and apply
it to a speaker design using new materials
for greater power handling.

It was found that Celestion’s ‘H’ magnet came
closest in performance to Alnico. This was
partnered with a new cone and new coil
assembly employing modern materials with
similar mass and physical properties to the
originals, but better able to handle the extra
heat generated through operating with higher
power equipment.

Seemingly twice as loud as anything else at
the same power level, the Vintage 30 handles
massive overdrive sounds with ease. Tight
bass, fat mids and a smooth, harmonically rich
top end have made the Vintage 30 an
excellent 4 x 12 loudspeaker. Of course, it’s
also suitable for any other cab!
