Continuing to expand its impulse response portfolio, Celestion now announced that its Celestion V-Type digital models are available in the Dynamic Speaker Response (DSR) format. The new V-Type joins the extensive collection of Celestion DSRs designed especially for use with SpeakerMix Pro, the self-contained software plug-in that offer expanded levels of detail in guitar and bass speaker tones. DSR speaker responses capture the full sound and feel of the speaker’s dynamic, non-linear responses for even more tonal detail.
One of the company’s newest guitar speakers, the V-Type is described by Celestions as "sweet-sounding with a superbly balanced character that imparts a real vintage musicality; built with the modern player in mind." The V-Type is a modern speaker with a vintage pedigree, combining elements of the company’s most classic speakers, particularly the G12H Creamback and the G12M Greenback.
"The V-Type offers an alternative tonal flavor and a warm tactile feel. Highs are open and airy, but never shrill or brittle; complemented by full-bodied lows and a well-balanced midrange. The speaker’s distinctive percussiveness is sure to bring joy to rhythm players, with a lower midrange that gets agreeably punchy when played dirty. Clean sounds sparkle and glimmer, but there’s still plenty of raunch on tap when it’s time to rock out," the company adds.
And characterizing further, Celestion says, "The V-Type offers open and airy highs, chime and sparkle in the upper- mids, a warm, well rounded mid-range and punchy lows, making it a great choice for a range of playing styles and rock genres. Now it’s easy to experience the modern vintage tones of the Celestion V-Type at home, in the studio or live, by downloading the new V-Type DSR."
The DSR files for the Celestion V-Type series are available individually or as a complete set, enabling users to explore the full range of sounds for this classic speaker, at a considerable saving over buying the individual files. The Celestion V-Type DSR set includes five cabinet configurations: 1×12 (both open and closed back), 2×12 (both open and closed back) and 4×12 (closed back).
As a host program for the new V-Type DSR and the entire line of Celestion DSRs, SpeakerMix Pro presents the genuine next-generation virtual speaker solution. More than just a top-level Impulse Response loader and convolution engine for hosting impulse responses, the software offers pristine sound, mixes up to six channels of different responses into a stereo or mono track and even fixes IR sample rate/project mismatches.
A free 14-day demo of SpeakerMix Pro is available for download and automatically installs with 10 free DSR speaker cabinets curated to give users a broad tone experience across the Celestion range of guitar and bass speakers. Users can upgrade to the full version of SpeakerMix Pro at any time during or after the trial period. Simply purchase the full version of SpeakerMix Pro and select 10 free DSR cabs (choose the preferred DSRs from the available range on Celestionplus.com during upgrade).
All of Celestion’s Dynamic Speaker Responses and SpeakerMix Pro plugin are available for VST, AU and AAX compatible DAWs.
