Celestion - G12M 8 Ohms

Celestion The story begins officially in 1924 in the London suburb where the three French brothers have created a small business subcontracting, plating and Electrical Manufacturing Company (MPCS).
When one day, a certain Eric Mackintosh solicit their help to develop a speaker of its creation.
What will become the first model sold by the fledgling company that Ralph, the fourth brother who joined them French, baptizes Celestion.
The radio knows at this time a tremendous growth that naturally benefits MPCS.
1932 then saw the invention of the voice coil, which leads them market the first domestic two-way speaker, the Celestion Reetone Dual.
Then excessive miniaturization occurs with the popularization of television and equipping television studios.
Celestion innovations that lead to know, after the war, a virtual monopoly in England!
This does not prevent it from being bought in 1947 by Rola (originally an American company) which will itself Truvox Limited sold a year later.
It was at the end of the 50s that is very interested Celestion speakers for the guitar amp, managing a masterstroke with the famous Celestion Blue which is then reflected in the VOX AC30 and Marshall among others.
A model declined thereafter for all types of instruments or even for sound reinforcement.
The demand for powerful sound systems is increasing and we need the speakers follow.
Celestion G12 created in the 60s, available with coils of different sizes.
A huge success if any.
