guitar amplifiers became more powerful, guitarists began to demand the tone of the Celestion Blue in a speaker that could handle more power. So in the early 80s, Celestion 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 our vintage speaker characteristics and apply it to a speaker design using new materials for greater power handling. The result was an instant classic. 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, its also suitable for any other cab!SpecificationsNominal diameter 12, 305mmPower Rating 60WNominal impedance16 OhmSensitivity 100dBChassis type Pressed steelVoice coil diameter 1.75, 44.5mmVoice coil material Rounded copperMagnet type CeramicMagnet weight 50oz, 1.42kgFrequency range 70 5000HzResonance frequency 70HzDC resistance7 OhmDiameter 12.2, 309mmOverall depth 5.3, 135mmMagnet structure diameter 6.1, 156mmCut out diameter 11.1, 283mmMounting slot dimensions 0.31, 7.9mmNumber of mounting slots 4Mounting slot PCD 11.7, 297mmUnit weight 10.4lb, 4.7kg
