QSC CP12 12-Inch Compact Powered Speaker
Overview
The QSC CP12 is a 12-inch compact powered loudspeaker that distills the core qualities of QSC's acclaimed K.2 series into a lighter, more affordable package designed for musicians, presenters, and small venue operators who need QSC-quality sound without the premium price tag. The speaker delivers 1000 watts of peak power through a 12-inch low-frequency driver and a 1.4-inch titanium diaphragm compression driver, providing full, balanced sound with surprising low-end authority for its compact size. QSC's proprietary DSP provides Intrinsic Correction processing that maximizes the speaker's performance envelope, along with six voicing presets for different applications including dance, default, monitor, and speech modes. The Phase Coherent Crossover ensures smooth frequency transition between drivers, maintaining tonal accuracy across the listening area. The lightweight ABS enclosure weighs just 33 pounds and includes an integrated M20 pole mount, monitor angle position, and an optional yoke mount for permanent installation. A simple input panel with XLR and 3.5mm inputs, gain control, and preset selection keeps operation straightforward. The CP12 carries QSC's six-year warranty, reflecting the company's confidence in its durability. The CP12 is ideal for solo performers, mobile DJs, corporate AV providers, and schools that want reliable, great-sounding PA speakers at a sensible price. The streamlined feature set lacks the mixer functionality and Bluetooth of some competitors, and the output headroom is lower than the K.2 series.
