Celestion A-TYPE 8R

For more than 50 years, classic Celestion speakers have played a major role in creating the soundtrack of every decade. Today, Celestion use years of experience to develop guitar loudspeakers that are insisted upon by players across all musical genres, drawing on our rich sonic legacy while also taking full advantage of modern materials and manufacturing processes. The result of our ongoing development is a comprehensive range of vintage and modern voiced speakers with ceramic or neodymium magnets available with a range of power handling capabilities and sizes. Classic Series speakers are the choice of amplifier designers and players around the world, ensuring Celestion’s ongoing reputation as The Voice of Rock & Roll.

Celestion guitar speakers have been an important part of British guitar tone since the birth of Rock & Roll. Traditionally, they’re known for lively and vocal midrange character with plenty of sparkle and chime, which turns into an exciting growl when overdriven, often compressing when pushed hard.

Inspired by our favourite modern American tones, the A-Type is a different kind of guitar speaker from Celestion. Of course, it still has the musical and revealing three- dimensional quality that is the heart and soul of a Celestion guitar speaker, however it features a more laid-back midrange which reveals body and complexity in the upper register, accompanied by full and rounded low frequencies.

The A-Type conveys a fluid, even performance with an increased headroom threshold that allows your amp’s tone to shine through. Clean players will love the smooth articulation; for rockers the brooding, powerful low end threatens thunder that’s only a heavy riff away!
