Prototyping and Analysis

The Development Team

At Celestion, the development process is dramatically enhanced by the ability to produce prototypes and sample runs on site. The Ipswich facility is equipped with a full production line plus lathes, presses, coil winders and all the other machinery required to build short runs for testing, measurement, approval and production engineering.

Celestion engineers make extensive use of the industry-standard Klippel® Distortion Analyser, measuring actual physical prototypes to verify the results achieved in FEA modelling. The system provides detailed analysis of motor design, voice coil alignment and cone suspension to achieve the Bl and stiffness (K) symmetry necessary for low distortion performance.

By bringing these processes together in one place, the Celestion team is fully resourced to develop sound reinforcement loudspeaker and compression driver solutions that match and exceed the performance and cost requirements of an impressive list of systems builders.
