Celestion A-Type 8 Ohms

When Celestion revisits its heritage with an American accent

A benchmark of British guitar speakers, Celestion has shaped rock with pronounced mids. With the A-Type, the brand offers an alternative inspired by contemporary American tones. It retains the broad musicality dear to Celestion but with a less tight midrange that highlights the brightness and complexity of the high frequencies without sacrificing the depth of the lows.

For which musicians and styles?

Ideal for fans of clear tones and pedals, the Celestion A-Type delivers smooth articulation and consistent projection, perfect for pedalboard setups. Rock players benefit from solid lows that support heavy riffs and a snappy crunch. It fits well in both 1x12 combos and 2x12 cabinets, in the studio or on stage.

What the A-Type offers: musicality, projection, and versatility

Voicing and dynamics

The slightly relaxed midrange opens up the sound and reveals a clear, non-aggressive top end. The bass is round and sustained, providing a solid foundation for chords and palm mutes. The 98 dB sensitivity and high headroom ensure a clear sound even when pushing the master volume.

Construction and reliability

Its ceramic magnet and steel chassis ensure mechanical stability and tonal consistency. This is a road-ready speaker designed to last while preserving the organic grain that makes Celestion famous.
