Celestion G12-100 Raven (2026)
The Celestion G12-100 Raven is a recent addition to the company's guitar speaker lineup, announced around January 2026 — Audiofanzine (January 2026) noted the British brand launched the new G12-100 Raven alongside the reintroduction of the G12M(55) to its catalog. It's a 12-inch speaker built around a lightweight ceramic magnet, with the "ultralight construction" being a central selling point. A launch post from Nicolas Dupas at ToneSilk described it as "a speaker that delivers massive power without the heavy…" — the thought trailing off mid-sentence, but the intent is clear enough: this is a 100-watt driver that aims to shed the usual weight penalty.
Documentation on this model is still thin, as you'd expect for a product this new. What's confirmed across retailer listings: the 8-ohm version is rated at 100W with a sensitivity of 100dB and a frequency range of 70–5,000 Hz. A 16-ohm version also exists, though its full spec sheet hasn't surfaced in the same way. Equipboard places the Raven in its "Standard/Professional" price tier, which is a qualitative bucket rather than an actual price point.
Known specifications:
- 12" guitar speaker
- 100W power rating
- Available in 8-ohm and 16-ohm versions
- 100dB sensitivity (8-ohm version)
- Frequency range: 70–5,000 Hz (8-ohm version)
- Lightweight ceramic magnet / ultralight construction
Not much else is recorded yet — no production history, no user reviews with substance, no details on cone or voice coil construction. For a speaker that only just hit the market, that's not a gap so much as a story still being written. If you've played through one, the archive would love to hear about it.
