help QSC CP8 FAQ
Is the QSC CP8 loud enough to use as a main speaker for a live band?
The QSC CP8 features an 800-watt peak amplifier, but its 8-inch woofer limits its low-end frequency response to around 60Hz. It works beautifully as a main speaker for acoustic acts, speaking engagements, or coffee shops, but full bands will likely want to pair it with a subwoofer.
Can I use the QSC CP8 as a stage floor monitor?
Yes, the CP8 has an asymmetrical enclosure design that allows it to be placed securely on its side for use as a tilted stage wedge. QSC also conveniently built in specific voicing modes, including a dedicated "Floor Monitor" EQ preset to help cut through stage noise.
Does the QSC CP8 have a built-in mixer?
While it isn't a full multi-channel mixing console, the CP8 features a built-in 2-channel mixer with combo XLR and 1/4-inch TRS inputs. It also includes a 3.5mm auxiliary input, making it extremely easy to plug in a microphone and a laptop directly without external gear.
How does the QSC CP8 compare to the older KSeries?
The CP series utilizes the same high-quality 1.75-inch titanium tweeter found in the flagship K.2 series, meaning its high-end clarity is excellent. The CP8 serves as QSC's entry-level tier, meaning it has fewer DSP routing options and a slightly lighter build than the premium K.2 line.
