Members moonpieface Posted February 11, 2011 Members Share Posted February 11, 2011 how long does it take a couple of celestion golds to break-in at normal playing (around 5 on the master and volume in my quiana)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chad_sux Posted February 11, 2011 Members Share Posted February 11, 2011 It shouldn't take too long if you are using it at a good volume.Here is a good article on speaker break-in:How do I break in my speakers?Important Note! Before breaking it in it's advisable to "warm up" the speaker gently for a few minutes with low-level playing or background hum.Break in a speaker with a fat, clean tone: turn up the power amp volume to full, and control the level with the preamp gain. Use a level that will be quite loud, but not painful in a normal size room.Have the bass and mid up full, and the treble at least half. On your guitar, use the middle pick up position (if your guitar has more than one pick up) and play for 10-15 minutes using lots of open chords, and chunky percussive playing. This will get the cone moving, and should excite all the cone modes and get everything to settle in nicely. The speaker will continue to mature over the years, but this will get it 95% of the way to tonal perfection in the shortest time.http://professional.celestion.com/guitar/features/drdecibel/index.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members hobbenator Posted February 11, 2011 Members Share Posted February 11, 2011 Record this on a loop pedal. I've read some people say they run loops for 24 hours + to break in speakers.

Members ~Abstract~ Posted February 11, 2011 Members Share Posted February 11, 2011 I hook it up to the stereo and jam it for a few days. I like Pink Floyd for this...DSOTM Start slow and low. I face the cabinet down so it's not crazy loud. Make sure there's nothing wrong with the speaker build...then wail on it. after a week or so you'll notice they sound much smoother and warmer than they did.
