Top-shelf Sound in a Compact Powered Speaker

The QSC CP12 is a great-sounding PA speaker that doesn't take up a lot of space. Enjoy top-quality sound, thanks to robust drivers and state-of-the-art DSP. Experience 1,000 watts of earth-shaking power, by way of an efficient, lightweight Class D power amplifier. Benefit from a wide range of applications, courtesy of easy-to-use preset contours. The CP12 features a built-in 3-channel mixer for single-box PA operation and also doubles as a high-performance floor monitor or instrument amplifier. The QSC CP12 boasts a rugged enclosure and 35mm socket for pole mounting.

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 CP12 is pure simplicity. Thanks to its Contour knob, it covers the full gamut of applications:

  • Default
  • Default w/ external sub
  • Dance
  • Dance w/ external sub
  • Floor monitor
  • Speech

Extensive DSP enhances your system's performance

The CP12 is loaded with powerful DSP to enhance your system's performance. DMT (Directivity Matched Transition) 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. At Sweetwater, we're blown away by the CP12's reliable performance — it sounds great in any situation.

QSC CP12 1000w

Quality sound. Goods for monitor voice.
Rated 5/5

Excellent product

The speakers are excellent, our small church went from busted 25-year-old speakers to an excellent sound. We purchased four of the 12-inch CP12 they sound like a million bucks. Thank you to our very knowledgeable and helpful salesman Mr. Alex Rodriguez he exemplifies exceptional customer service.

QSC CP 12

I work in a Country trio and paired these with 2 500 watt subs. What great sound clarity and power for such a lightweight cabinet. They look good, sound good, and never fail to please. We mix everything through these and have never even come close to using there full power potential. You cant go wrong with these or any QSC product as far as I'm concerned. I don't know why we suffered so long with older non powered speakers for so many years. Be sure and get the carrying cases for these they are also quality and protect these for all our transports.
