Celestion, the premier manufacturer of professional audio loudspeakers for sound reinforcement, introduces the Truvox 0615, a new six-inch mid-bass driver focused on superior quality at an affordable price point across a wide variety of use cases. Applications in which the Truvox 0615 excels include replacing six-inch drivers in fixed P.A. installations, OEM use in new portable or fixed cabinet construction, improvement upon factory car audio speakers, or virtually any situation where a compact, lightweight driver must perform bass-midrange or even primary woofer duties.
Thanks to the Truvox 0615 being designed to industry-standard mounting dimensions, replacement in P.A. cabinets, cars, bass amplifiers, recessed wall mounts, and other destinations is a drop-in operation that restores clarity and punch to hardworking but tired systems.
The Truvox 0615 is equally at home as the principal woofer in two-way cabinets or as the mid-bass/midrange element in three-way systems. It is also an ideal choice for door placement in cars, as many vehicles share its mounting specifications.
8 ohm impedance ensures the broadest possible compatibility with power amplifiers, whether outboard or built into an active cabinet design. The Truvox 0615 handles an impressive 300 watts of continuous power, but thanks to its sensitivity of 93dB, still reproduces sound efficiently when a more modest allotment of power is on offer.
A pressed steel basket maximizes energy transfer while bringing the Truvox 0615 in at the lightest weight in its product class: a scant 1.6 kilograms (3.5 pounds). The ferrite magnet, 1.5-inch round copper voice coil, Kevlar-loaded cone, and M-shaped dual-roll cone surround work together to allow for high fidelity and low distortion, even at extreme excursion. A centrally located vent assists cooling, and front and rear gaskets are included for ease of mounting.
The Truvox 0615 is the first member of a new product family drawing on Celestion’s long tradition of the company producing high-performing general-purpose speakers as well as the world’s most sought-after drivers for guitar amplification. Truvox was a brand known for its P.A. speakers throughout the mid 20th century, and in 1949, purchased the company then known as Rola Celestion. Thus, the Celestion brand added a broad range of P.A. drivers to its stable.
Celestion will expand the Truvox line throughout 2024 to include eight-, ten-, 12-, and 15-inch sizes. True to Celestion’s ethos, each model will combine rigorous research and development with today’s best materials science, manufacturing processes, and quality assurance metrics. Celestion thus aims to make Truvox speakers the obvious choice when end users and installers alike are in search of outstanding value that refuses to sacrifice quality.
“This latest incarnation brings the famous Truvox brand back to life in the form of a superior performing sound reinforcement transducer,” says Celestion Head of Marketing Ken Weller. “The Truvox 0615 meets or exceeds competitors’ specifications in all areas, with greater power handling and at a competitive price.”
