QSC’s CP Series: premium performance in a compact speaker

QSC’s CP Series packs premium performance into a compact powered loudspeaker. Beneath this speaker’s stylish, yet rugged exterior lurks an efficient 1,000-watt Class D amplifier, and more DSP than you can shake a stick at. Its light weight makes this speaker child’s play to load, carry, and lift, so it’s ideal for a wide range of portable and installed applications. You can use your CP speaker as a single-box PA system via its built-in 3-channel mixer, or integrate it with a larger system with ease. The CP works equally well on a speaker pole, as a floor monitor, or as an instrument amplifier.

Preset contours for common applications

Operating the QSC CP8 is pure simplicity. Thanks to its Contour knob, it covers the full gamut of applications:

• Default
• Default with external sub
• Dance
• Dance with external sub
• Floor monitor
• Speech

Extensive DSP enhances your system’s performance

The CP8 is loaded with powerful DSP to enhance your system’s performance. Directivity Matched Transition (DMT) provides matched low- and high-frequency response across your audience’s entire listening area, eliminating dead and hot zones. Intrinsic Correction ensures that your speaker performs consistently across the entire sound field. It achieves this by mapping spatially averaged measurements to IIR and FIR filters that actively adjust time, frequency, and amplitude response. Here, we’re blown away by the CP8’s reliable performance — it sounds great in any situation.
