    QSC CP8 1000-Watt 2-Way Full Range Compact Powered Loudspeaker

    The QSC CP8 shows you don’t need a large setup to deliver powerful sound. Perfect for singer-songwriters, party DJs, or educators, this compact speaker provides professional-quality performance in an ultra-light design that's easy to carry.

    QSC CP8 Your Compact Command Center for Sound

    Your Compact Command Center for Sound

    The magic of the CP8 lies in its ability to deliver pristine, room-filling sound from a surprisingly small package. Forget complex setups and confusing dials; this speaker is designed for professionals who need reliable, high-quality audio without the headache. It’s your trusty sidekick for any gig, ready to perform flawlessly night after night.

    • 1000-Watt Class-D Amplifier: Don't let its size fool you. The CP8 is armed with a highly efficient 1000-watt peak power amp module that provides all the headroom you need for dynamic performances. It pushes out clean, powerful sound that cuts through the noise and captivates your audience.
    • Advanced DSP with Intrinsic Correction™: This is the brains of the operation. QSC’s sophisticated digital signal processing works tirelessly behind the scenes to optimize your sound, correcting for artifacts and ensuring your audio is crystal-clear and true to the source. It’s like having a world-class audio engineer built right in.
    • Directivity Matched Transition™ (DMT): Ever walked around a room and noticed the sound changes depending on where you stand? DMT solves that. It ensures smooth, consistent frequency response across the entire listening area, so everyone in the audience gets the same stellar audio experience.

    Designed for the Real World

    The QSC CP8 is built for the hustle. From its ultra-compact form to its plug-and-play simplicity, every element is designed to make your life easier so you can focus on what matters most: your performance.

    • One-Touch Simplicity: Get great sound in seconds. The CP8 features an easy-to-use control knob that lets you select from six preset contours for the most common applications — from "Dance" to "Speech." No deep-diving into menus, just turn the dial and go.
    • A True "Single-Box" PA: Travel light without compromise. The CP8 features three inputs (mic/line, line, and a 3.5mm stereo jack), allowing you to mix a microphone, an instrument, and a music player all at once. For solo performers, it's a complete PA system in one easy-to-carry box.
    • Versatility is its Middle Name: Mount it on a 35 mm pole as your main PA, lay it on its side as a floor monitor, or use it as a powerful instrument amplifier. Its compact size and optional yoke mount also make it a dream for permanent installations on walls or trusses.

    • Compact and Stylishly Rugged: The CP8’s exterior is thoughtfully designed to be both durable and aesthetically pleasing. Its clean lines and robust enclosure mean it can handle the rigors of the road while looking sharp on any stage or in any venue.
    • Seriously Lightweight and Portable: Weighing in at just 21 lbs (9.5 kg), this loudspeaker is remarkably easy to transport and set up. Loading in and out of a gig has never been less of a workout.
