The CP8, the Compact Spirit of the CP Series by QSC
Within the CP series (CP8/CP12), the CP8 condenses QSC's DNA into a particularly elegant and robust format. Every line of its enclosure has been designed to offer a discreet speaker, easy to integrate and ready to deliver a faithful response. Drawing on over 50 years of expertise in professional sound reinforcement, QSC emphasizes reliability and daily efficiency here.
For Stage, Events, and Installation
Whether you are a musician, DJ, technician, or venue operator, the CP8 adapts: as a front-of-house speaker on a stand, a stage monitor, or permanently mounted. Its small footprint, light weight, and intuitive connectivity allow for a clean and quick system deployment without compromising clarity and projection.
Power, Control, and Clarity Serving the Mix
The 2-way architecture, 8-inch woofer, and 1.4-inch compression driver form a tight and precise ensemble. The Class D amplification delivers 500 W continuous with a 1000 W peak reserve, while the "Intrinsic Correction" DSP optimizes response and protects the transducers. The 90-degree axisymmetric coverage ensures even dispersion, ideal for varied audiences or tight stages, with an extended frequency range from 56 Hz to 20 kHz (-6 dB).
