More about QSC’s CP Series

The first thing you notice about the Compact Powered Loudspeaker series is the size. CP speakers deliver a big sound from a small package. This compact size comes with the added benefit of the speakers being remarkably lightweight, making them easy to load, carry, lift, and set up in myriad portable and permanent sound systems.

CP isn’t just about size. It’s about power. The built-in 1000-watt (peak) power module is highly efficient, delivering ample burst and continuous power to the loudspeaker’s matching transducers. Advanced DSP is also built into CP speakers, equipping them to meet—and exceed—performance expectations.

Achieve accurate audio and full signal integrity, even in high SPL scenarios. CP speakers feature carefully tailored, subtle, and sophisticated dynamics processing that protects the drivers from damage and prevents distortion. Meanwhile, convection cooling functionality dissipates heat (even in extreme climates), all without adding background noise.

CP provides one-touch access to DSP control via preset contours for the most common audio applications, such as:

• Default (Full-Range)
• Default with External Subwoofer
• Dance
• Dance with External Subwoofer
• Floor Monitor
• Speech

Mix up to three input sources (mic/line, line, music playback device) simultaneously for a single-box PA that sets up in seconds. As part of a larger system, both models can be used as a main PA (with included pole mount), floor monitor, or musical instrument amplifier. Utilizing the optional yoke mount (sold separately), the CPs can be securely attached to a wall or truss.
