How did we make the St. James so light?! | Designing the Celestion Zephyr | Tech Talk | Blackstar

[@Lutzifer31337]

i still have not heard the speaker anywhere. Only the amp-heads. Would love to see comparisons to v30 and similar.

Some good engineering nerdery here, thanks!

That’s because it’s all about St James Amps !

In my company we are using FEM simulation for mechanical and electromagnetic optimisation. 👍🏻

I played through the amp today and was amazed, at not only the weight, but the sound. I have a bit of a difficult time believing that the 3w option is a true 3w, and not like 10w. I turned it to 4 and that was as loud as I was willing to go with 6 ft between me and the cab on the red channel.

It’s also tempting me to apply to the company in engineering.

So no Neodymium? Very cool! What is the weight of the speaker? What’s the sensitivity? Will they ever be available for sale individually? Really exciting innovation going on!

[@HamzaJamzaFamza]

I recall he said 2KG on the weight of the Zephyr, and there’s a second magnet- is the 2nd magnet Neo? So it’s a hybrid design? Quite groundbreaking!

[@gustavoloebel]

​@@HamzaJamzaFamzayes I have the same question!

[@HamzaJamzaFamza]

@@gustavoloebel i’ve seen just a couple come and go on Reverb Used, my assumption is that it’s like a hybrid between the V-Type and the G12P80 but maybe a touch towards the Midnight 60 🤷

[@hawedehre]

Smaller parts save costs as well.

[@Ary975436]

Are these speakers made in England or China?

[@alexdenton6586]

Does not matter , what matters is the quality of the sound

[@gustavoloebel]
