QSC CP12 is a compact 1000 watt powered 12-inch 2-way loudspeaker. It pairs a 12 inch woofer with a 1.4 inch compression driver, reaches 126 dB peak at 1 m with 75 degree axisymmetric coverage and response down to 49 Hz (-6 dB), includes a 3-channel mixer and weighs 30.3 lb.
Full range 12 inch sound in a cabinet light enough to carry with one hand.
The CP12 runs a 1000 W peak Class D amplifier, 800 W to the 12 inch woofer and 200 W to the horn, tuned with QSC's Intrinsic Correction DSP and Directivity Matched Transition (DMT) design for even coverage and a clean top end.
The 12 inch woofer gives the CP12 noticeably more low end than the CP8, with response to 49 Hz (-6 dB), which makes it a strong choice for music playback and live bands without a subwoofer at smaller events. One-touch contours including Default, Dance, Floor Monitor and Speech adapt it to the job.
The polypropylene cabinet works on a stand through its 35 mm pole socket, on the floor as a wedge monitor, or permanently installed with the optional CP12 Yoke. QSC also makes a CP12 Tote and a CP12 Outdoor Cover.
