"Perfect Gig Speaker"

I have been using the CP8 since they have come out. For me it’s been the perfect speaker I’ve used other brands However the sound and the articulation as well as the volume and tonality that is thrown to the audience in my opinion surpasses the others. I’ve use the single microphone like the DPA 4099 clipped onto my guitar into a TouchMix eight and then out to 2QSC CP8 speakers and the sound is absolutely fabulous. There’s a very crystal clear articulation that takes place and there’s no ear fatigue when listening to the sound that’s being produced and thrown to the audience. This provides a much more enjoyable experience to the listener. The speakers are so easy to travel with and fit in just about any trunk. I’ve been playing Winery’s, corporate events, private parties and I’m constantly getting compliments on my tone in the set up. If you’re in Acoustic Musician and serious about your tone this may be the speaker that you were looking for. I’ve also use the speaker with just my paddleboard and amazing results . I’ve done some fashion shows and I just put one CPA on a pole and run my paddleboard to the XLR in and the fantastic sound. That’s true magic in the speakers they do not tire of the year and they generally produce the sound that they are given. As a Spanish guitarist playing in the flamenco style when using the mic it is so important that the speaker faithfully reproduces the sound of the mike is capturing and with this speaker it’s so easy to play with Mike without feedback and deliver stellar sound night after night.

The people at QSC deliver excellent service if you ever have questions and stand behind their products and that to me as a professional getting musician is worth it’s weight in gold. They are friendly and honest company to deal with and I consistently tell others about how great the products are that come from QSC . Finally the speakers are easy to travel with and they won’t hurt your back while caring them setting them up and tearing down at the end of the night. The speakers are true working musicians speak

I bought these to replace some old passive JBL 15" speakers that really didn't sound that great. These sound much better, play louder and are super small and easy to carry abound. They are 500 watts RMS. Bass is punchy, mids are clear and loud and the highs are extended and clear.

Musical Background:

Mostly electronic but all kinds, really.

"Nice compact speaker"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Purchased as a monitor and rehearsal speaker. It has a small footprint and a clean sound, with enough sound to use as a vocal monitor on lots of stages or in small room band rehearsals. With a DI I use it for my bass and it puts out a good amount of volume and low end. With my small mixer or running straight in, it sounds clear with my Telefunken M81. Sure the K series sound great, but I am on a budget and need to perform with a good product. Next is a pair of CP12's for main speakers.

Amazing sound quality. I am an audiophile and I appreciate good sound. Way better than any other PA speaker I've owned. Lots of flexibility for using in different scenarios. Lightweight and small but puts out HUGE sound.

"Bang for your buck"

These speakers are great! I also own a pair of QSC K series 12.2 speakers. Those are great too but kinda heavy and take up a lot of space. I bought a pair of the CP8s for monitors during full band shows and to use for solo shows. These things kick! Two CP8s take as much room, and weigh less, than one K12.2. I’ve only used for solo acoustic going to test as monitors tomorrow. But hearing these the other day walking around on my break I know they get the job done. Well done QSC.

Musical Background:

Full time solo acoustic, sometimes duo and full band.

Rock, but I do a little of everything
