Product Description
The QSC CP12 is a compact, 2-way powered loudspeaker that delivers professional performance in an ultra-portable format. Featuring a 12" low-frequency cone driver, a 1.4" high-frequency compression driver, a 1000W peak (800W low + 200W high) Class D amplifier, a frequency response of 49-20kHz at -6dB, a maximum SPL of 126dB, 75° axisymmetric coverage, advanced DSP with Intrinsic Correction™ for protection and superior sound quality, Directivity Matched Transition® (DMT) for consistent frequency response, 6 selectable preset contours, 2x XLR combo inputs (mic/line and line), a 3.5mm stereo input, an XLR mix output, a rugged polypropylene enclosure, a 35mm pole socket, a weight of only 13.7kg, and a professional black finish, the CP12 is ideal for main PA, stage monitoring, instrument amplification, live events, mobile entertainment, professional installations, and versatile applications.
Compact Professional Performance
1000W Peak Power
The 1000W peak (800W low + 200W high) Class D amplifier provides sufficient power for most professional applications. Power distribution optimizes low and high-frequency performance.
Ultra-portable and Lightweight
At only 13.7kg, the CP12 is extremely portable. The light weight facilitates transport and handling at events and on tours.
High-Fidelity 2-Way System
12" Low-Frequency Driver
The 12" cone driver provides powerful and controlled low frequencies. The 12" size is the standard for professional compact loudspeakers.
1.4" High-Frequency Compression Driver
The 1.4" compression driver provides clear and detailed high frequencies with excellent projection. Compression drivers are ideal for long-distance coverage.
Flat Frequency Response
49Hz - 20kHz at -6dB
The frequency response of 49-20kHz at -6dB provides flat reproduction across the audio band. A flat response is essential for accurate reproduction.
Extension to 47-20kHz at -10dB
The extension to 47-20kHz at -10dB provides low-frequency extension. Extension is important for full-range reproduction.
126dB Maximum SPL
Powerful Sound Pressure
The 126dB maximum SPL measured on-axis at 1m provides powerful sound pressure. 126dB SPL is sufficient for most professional applications.
Advanced Intrinsic Correction™ DSP
Intrinsic Sound Correction
The Intrinsic Correction™ DSP provides automatic sound correction and loudspeaker protection. Intrinsic correction optimizes frequency response.
Loudspeaker Protection
Intrinsic correction protects the loudspeaker from overload and damage. Protection is important for durability.
Directivity Matched Transition® (DMT)
Consistent Coverage Response
DMT ensures consistent frequency response across the entire coverage area. Consistency is important for uniform reproduction.
75° Axisymmetric Coverage
75° axisymmetric coverage provides uniform dispersion. Axisymmetric coverage is ideal for main PA applications.
Flexible Controls
6 Preset Contours
The 6 selectable preset contours allow for rapid optimization for different applications. Contours include options for PA, monitoring, and instruments.
Adjustable Gain
The 2x gain controls allow for independent adjustment of inputs. Gain adjustment is essential for audio mixing.
Mic Boost
Mic boost provides additional amplification for low-level microphones. Boost is useful for presenters and singers.
Versatile Professional Inputs
2x XLR Combo Inputs
The 2x XLR combo inputs include line and mic/line levels. Combo inputs allow for flexible connection of microphones and line sources.
3.5mm Stereo Input
The 3.5mm stereo input allows for connection of portable devices. The 3.5mm input is ideal for phones and tablets.
XLR Mix Output
The XLR mix output allows for connection to additional systems. The output allows for daisy-chaining loudspeakers.
Rugged Professional Construction
Polypropylene Enclosure
The polypropylene enclosure provides impact resistance and durability. Polypropylene is resistant to environmental conditions.
Powder-Coated Steel Grille
The 18-gauge powder-coated steel grille provides protection and a professional finish. The powder coating is durable.
35mm Pole Socket
The 35mm pole socket allows for mounting on standard stands. The standard socket facilitates installation.
