Celestion Peacekeeper in detail
With the Celestion Peacekeeper, you can crank your amps to their sweet spot while maintaining a comfortable decibel level. We first saw it being showcased at NAMM earlier this year, and now it is officially available at last.
Less is More
Every guitarist knows that a great amp reaches its full potential when played loud. But in everyday life, such volumes aren’t always possible, whether due to room size, neighbours, or other constraints.
This is where the Peacekeeper comes in: It functions like a conventional guitar speaker, but with significantly reduced output sensitivity.
Now, we have some more specifications and so let’s take a look at the details.
Dual-Voice Coils
The secret of the Peacekeeper lies in Celestion’s unique dual-voice coil design.
The first coil drives the diaphragm but has a low BL value to allow for damping. The second coil ensures the bass remains tight and the tone remains true to its integrity. This special design allows any amplifier to be driven hotter to achieve that juicy, distorted sound we all want, but at manageable volumes. The power handling is a whopping 50 watts.
Critics may rightly be skeptical, claiming that this will certainly change the fundamental sound and dynamics of your amplifiers, but the manufacturer denies this.
The Celestion Peacekeeper represents each amplifier in the most natural way possible, without any additional coloration or tonal compromise. This means you always get the pure, unadulterated Celestion tone, just much quieter.
