Description
If your right hand lives for slap, funk, or anything with percussive attack, the Celestion Orange Label BN12-300S is the kind of driver that gets out of your way and lets the transient through. Celestion leaned on their neodymium expertise here, and it shows in how quickly this speaker responds — notes bloom fast, decay cleanly, and that mid-range punch stays present even when you’re buried in a busy mix.
This unit is open box and graded mint condition, so you’re getting a driver that’s essentially new — just without the sealed retail packaging — at a price that makes sense for gigging bassists who’d rather spend on strings and gas money.
Key specs at a glance:
- 12in (304.8mm) nominal diameter, 300Wrms power handling
- 8 Ohms nominal impedance
- 99dB sensitivity — loud without needing to push hard
- Lightweight neodymium magnet structure
- Kevlar-loaded paper cone with polyimide former
- Cloth-sealed surround, 2.5in copper voice coil
- Frequency range: 50-4000Hz
- Xmax: 2.5mm, gap depth: 8mm
- Unit weight: 2.0kg (4.4lb) — a fraction of a ferrite equivalent
The neodymium magnet keeps overall cabinet weight down considerably compared to traditional ferrite drivers, which matters when you’re loading in for the third time this week. Whether you’re rebuilding a cab or upgrading an existing rig for a snappier, more articulate low end, this Orange Label driver delivers the fast, clean response modern bass tones demand.
