Tame your amp with a super low efficiency speaker?

Peacekeeper - Celestion

The Peacekeeper is a revolutionary new attenuating speaker for guitarists from Celestion. It’s the simplest and most toneful way of being able to dial your amplifier right up to its “sweet spot”, while keeping the decibel levels down. Featuring a unique dual voice coil design, this attenuating...

Very interesting.

 

[gball]

Great idea.

Hmmmmmmm…..a 100 watt 2x12??…might be fun…

I wonder how this will be demonstrated at NAMM which starts in a couple of days.

“Unlock the true sonic potential of amplifiers without worrying about the volume”: Celestion’s ear-saving Peacekeeper speaker lets you dial in the “sweet spot” of a driven amp at modest volumes

The days of having to crank an amp to excessive levels to make it sing could soon be a thing of the past

With two dozen other 12" guitar speaker "flavors" in the current Celestion product mix, I'm wondering what this speaker is going to sound like.

"Featuring a unique dual voice coil design, this attenuating speaker works together with an amp, like a conventional guitar speaker, only with significantly reduced output sensitivity. Enabling you to drive your amplifier harder while still listening at reasonable volume levels. Load it into your cab and the Peacekeeper will attenuate your amplifier in the most natural way possible, with zero additional colouration or tonal compromise."

This will be the 3rd attenuating speaker, not a new idea at all.
#1 Fluxtone
#2 Eminence
#3 Celestion Peacekeeper

The 3rd in a long line of things to come.
It won't be long until attenuating speakers replace master volume controls entirely.

Yes, but will it go to 11?

Yes, but will it go to 11?

With the amp at 11 the speaker is just gonna say “that’s nice, but I’m only gonna give ya a 4”.

I meant does the Speaker go to 11 if it REPLACES the MASTER VOLUME pot/knob.
AmpMad got it.

I was joking.
I'm never serious unless we are repairing. (even then it's questionable)

I’m thinking that if one wants to crank their 50 watt amp, they’ll need to have two of the Peacekeepers connected to the amp. If it’s a 100 watt amp, maybe four Peacekeepers will be needed. Or at least three of them…

yes
The speakers should be rated 2X the power of the amplifier at least.
