QSC CP8 Two-Way 8" 1000W Compact Powered Loudspeaker with DSP

The QSC CP8 packs professional clarity and output into a remarkably small footprint. This compact powered loudspeaker couples an 8-inch woofer with a 1.4-inch compression driver and a 1000W peak power Class-D amplifier (800 W LF + 200 W HF) to deliver up to 124 dB SPL with smooth, 90° conical coverage. QSC’s advanced DSP—featuring Intrinsic Correction and Directivity Matched Transition—optimizes phase, frequency response, and protection so mixes stay punchy and intelligible even at elevated levels. A six-position bank of DSP presets (Default, Default with Sub, Dance, Dance with Sub, Floor Monitor, Speech) lets you adapt the PA in seconds without external processing.

I/O is flexible for solo performers, presenters, and rental rigs: two locking XLR/TRS combo inputs (one with mic/line sensitivity and +25 dB boost), a 3.5 mm stereo input, and an XLR mix output to feed another speaker or recorder. The enclosure is a rugged polypropylene cabinet with an 18-gauge steel grille, built to travel yet easy to lift at just 21 lb. Mount on any 35 mm pole socket, fly via the dual M8 yoke points, or lay it on its side as a low-profile monitor; the compact geometry suits tight stages, classrooms, and mobile DJ setups.

Sized to disappear but voiced to impress, the CP8 measures 16.2 x 10.7 x 10.1 inches, making it a grab-and-go portable PA speaker for coffeehouse gigs, worship, education, and corporate events. Register within 30 days for a six-year warranty, underscoring QSC’s reputation for reliability. Whether used as a main, stage monitor, or instrument amplifier, the CP8 brings trusted performance, smart presets, and installation-friendly options in a travel-light package.
