Celestion has designed and built the world’s first Full Range LIVE Response guitar speakers. They have been created to reproduce the full spectrum of audible frequencies, for an accurate performance, whatever digital modelling gear you use: that’s what makes them Full Range. But here’s the thing, they still feel like you’re playing through a regular guitar speaker: that’s what makes them LIVE Response.
F12-X200
With 200-watt power handling, the F12-X200 has a ceramic magnet and a 2” voice coil and features a low moving-mass, straight-sided paper cone that delivers all the physical feedback we’ve come to expect from playing through a typical guitar rig. The higher frequency part of the signal is reproduced using a Celestion HF compression driver which has been integrated using a built-in, high quality crossover circuit. This enables the X200 to reproduce the full spectrum of audible frequencies—up to 20kHz—for the most accurate output possible; while still “feeling” like you’re playing through a guitar speaker.

F12M-150 Triple Cone
With 150-watt power handling, the F12M-150 Triple Cone is also a ceramic magnet speaker with the same 2” voice coil and lightweight, straight sided cone delivering all the tactile feedback you need. Instead of a secondary driver, the higher frequency part of the signal is delivered by a pair of tweeter cones located in the centre of the main cone, extending the frequency range to an impressive 12kHz. It’s a simpler solution that means the Triple Cone is lighter in overall weight and more compact, which is seriously useful for retrofitting into smaller cabs.
