QSC CP12 – Powerful 1000 W 2-way active loudspeaker with advanced DSP, DMT™ waveguide and integrated application contours
The QSC CP12 embodies the core QSC philosophy: high reliability, superior performance and a professional-grade design. Larger and more powerful than the CP8, it provides extended low-frequency response and stronger projection, while remaining compact, lightweight and extremely versatile.
With its 1000 W peak Class-D amplification (800 W LF + 200 W HF), the CP12 delivers an impressive 126 dB peak SPL while maintaining exceptional clarity. Its 12" LF driver and 1.4" HF compression driver ensure powerful, accurate reproduction across the entire frequency range.
The integrated Intrinsic Correction™ DSP optimizes transducer behavior to maintain consistent audio quality and prevent distortion, even at high volume. The Directivity Matched Transition® (DMT™) technology guarantees smooth, even coverage with a 75° axisymmetric dispersion, maintaining tonal consistency even off-axis.
The CP12 features multiple selectable application contours (Full-Range, External Subwoofer, Dance, Dance + Sub, Floor Monitor, Speech), allowing you to instantly adapt the sound to any setup. It can be used as a main PA, floor monitor or installed speaker thanks to its 35 mm pole socket and M8 mounting point.
Its rugged polypropylene enclosure and powder-coated steel grille provide long-lasting durability. Despite its performance capability, the CP12 remains easy to transport, weighing only 13.7 kg. Finally, like all QSC models, it comes with an outstanding 6-year warranty upon registration, ensuring total peace of mind.
