Celestion F12-X200

Celestion F12-X200 — Full-Range Guitar Speaker for Amp Modellers

The Celestion F12-X200 is a 12-inch ceramic full-range speaker engineered for amp modellers and impulse-response workflows. It reproduces the full audible spectrum from 60 Hz to 20 kHz, so the high-frequency detail baked into modeller presets reaches the player intact. A coaxial compression driver handles the upper register through a passive crossover, while the main cone keeps the moving mass and profile of a traditional guitar speaker. The result is a drop-in driver that delivers the feel and air-movement of a real cabinet behind any modeller rig.

What Sets the F12-X200 Apart from a Standard Guitar Driver

Most guitar speakers roll off sharply above 5 kHz, but the F12-X200 carries a built-in compression driver tied to the main cone through a passive crossover at 3 kHz. Celestion's Full Range LIVE Response (FRLR) approach uses a lighter, straight-sided paper cone so the driver pushes air and feeds back like a vintage guitar speaker. The coaxial layout also matches the off-axis dispersion of a conventional 12-inch driver, so the player hears the same tonal balance standing next to the cab.

Power Handling and Electrical Specs

The Celestion F12-X200 is rated for the high-headroom solid-state power amps that modern modeller rigs typically use, with sensitivity in line with classic guitar drivers.

• Power Rating: 200 W — handles large solid-state power stages used with modellers
• Sensitivity: 97 dB (1 W / 1 m) — comparable to traditional guitar speakers for stage volume
• Nominal Impedance: 8 Ω — drop-in for most 1x12 and 2x12 cabinets

Driver Construction

Built around a classic guitar-speaker geometry, the F12-X200 pairs a paper cone with an integrated compression driver that extends usable bandwidth upward.

• Voice Coil: 51 mm round copper
• Magnet Type: Ceramic
• Chassis: Pressed steel
• Crossover: 3 kHz passive

Dimensions and Mounting

Designed as a direct replacement, the F12-X200 swaps into a typical 12-inch guitar cabinet with a standard 283 mm cut-out and eight mounting holes on a 297 mm PCD. Total depth is greater than a conventional driver, so check rear clearance before fitting.

• Overall Diameter: 309 mm
• Cut-out Diameter: 283 mm
• Overall Depth: 165 mm
• Unit Weight: 4.1 kg
