Celestion - Blue 15 Ohms

The story of Celestion officially begins in 1924 in the suburbs of London where the three French brothers established a small subcontracting company, Electrical Manufacturing and PLATING Company (EMPC).
When, one day, a certain Eric Mackintosh asks for their help to develop a loudspeaker of his creation.
This would become the first model marketed by the young company that Ralph, the fourth French brother who joined them, named Celestion.
Radio experienced tremendous growth at this time which naturally benefited EMPC.
1932 then saw the invention of the voice coil, which led them to market the first two-way domestic speaker, the Celestion Reetone Dual.
Then excessive miniaturization occurred with the popularization of televisions and television studio equipment.
Innovations which led Celestion to experience, after the war, a quasi-monopoly situation in England!
This did not prevent it from being bought in 1947 by Rola (an initially American company) which was itself sold to Truvox Limited a year later.
It was at the end of the 1950s that Celestion took a close interest in guitar amp speakers, achieving a masterstroke with the famous Celestion Blue which was then found in the VOX AC30 and the Marshalls in particular.
A model subsequently available for all types of instruments and even for sound reinforcement.
The demand for powerful sound systems is increasing and speakers must follow.
Celestion created the G12 in the 1960s, available with different sized coils.
A huge success if ever there was one.
