    The document describes the Celestion Vintage 30 loudspeaker. It was designed to model the characteristics of an original Celestion Blue speaker using laser Doppler interferometry and modern materials. It has a ceramic magnet, copper voice coil, and handles 60 watts of power. The speaker produces tight bass, fat mids, and a smooth, harmonically rich top end, making it suitable for 4x12 cabinets or other uses.

    VINTAGE
    30
    We made pioneering use of Laser Doppler
    Interferometry to analyse the cone
    behaviour of an original Celestion Blue. We
    could then form a precise model of the
    vintage speakers characteristics and apply
    it to a speaker design using new materials
    for greater power handling.
    It was found that Celestions H magnet came
    closest in performance to Alnico. This was
    partnered with a new cone and new coil
    assembly employing modern materials with
    similar mass and physical properties to the
    originals, but better able to handle the extra
    heat generated through operating with higher
    power equipment.
    Seemingly twice as loud as anything else at
    the same power level, the Vintage 30 handles
    massive overdrive sounds with ease. Tight
    bass, fat mids and a smooth, harmonically rich
    top end have made the Vintage 30 an
    excellent 4 x 12 loudspeaker. Of course, its
    also suitable for any other cab!
