Celestion debuts Peacekeeper attenuating speaker at NAMM 2025

Celestion is introducing the Peacekeeper at NAMM 2025, a low-sensitivity, dual voice coil, attenuating speaker. The Peacekeeper offers guitarists and other amplified musicians a simple and effective way to dial in the coveted "sweet spot" on their amplifiers while still performing at modest volume levels.

The Peacekeeper has been optimised to disrupt the conventional limitation of great amplifiers that typically only open up and sound their best when played at high decibel levels – addressing this challenge with its unique dual voice coil design.

The Peacekeeper will work seamlessly with almost any amplifier, like a conventional guitar speaker, but its in-built attenuating technology will significantly reduce output sensitivity. This enables musicians to drive their amplifiers harder while maintaining manageable volume levels.

The Peacekeeper empowers guitarists to unlock the true sonic potential of their amplifiers without worrying about the volume.

The Peacekeeper’s design effectively attenuates the amplifier’s output, compared with conventional speakers, allowing players to achieve their desired sound at lower volumes, and attenuation is achieved “organically” through the natural operation of the loudspeaker, enabling the Peacekeeper to preserve the Celestion tone that musicians love.

With its 12” diameter, the Peacekeeper seamlessly integrates with any standard cabinet, offering a hassle-free solution for volume control, and it offers 8Ω impedance and a maximum power rating of 50W – making it suitable for pairing with a wide range of amplifiers.

“Until today, many guitar players have been limited by the volume constraints of their environment, whether it’s avoiding disturbing someone else in their household, or keeping the peace with neighbours,” commented Nigel Wood, managing director at Celestion. “The Peacekeeper empowers guitarists to unlock the true sonic potential of their amplifiers without worrying about the volume.”

Peacekeeper drivers are assembled at Celestion’s UK-based loudspeaker research and manufacturing facility, and rigorously tested to meet exacting performance criteria.

The Peacekeeper will be on display, alongside a range of Celestion’s key guitar and PA products at the company’s NAMM 2025 booth (Hall C, #6602).
