I’ve tried k12 and the k12.2; when they came out with CP12, well, I just got to find out what the fuss is about.I was never disappointed! Just like the k12’s and the k12.2, I search where the red line is for this speakers...my ears gave up before I could get there!It’s loud and clear! I’m getting me another set to cover more than 200 people.Sub not needed but wouldn’t hurt. Luv QSC and the quality they make!Keep it up QSC! I hope you don’t get too greedy and go cheap on parts like the others did!

I own the k8.2s which are fab but these CP 12s are my favorite because of the compact size, lots of base, lightweight and excellent tonal quality. Honestly my k8,2s have been sitting in the rack since I got these.Amazing Simplicity on the rear controls , rugged build and great warranty! Awesome mid priced system, I got the unbeatable bundle with the stands, bags and cables, unbeatable !

I've had these speakers for a couple of months. The band I work with plays 150-200 shows a year and we play everything from small clubs, outdoor venues, weddings and corporate gigs. I pair them with a pair of 18" subs, and have used them on a small gig without the subs, and they have worked flawlessly in any application. Very smooth sounding, great bass response and crystal clear highs. Spend the extra money, and with zZounds pay as you play plan, they are very affordable. So don't waste your money on lesser speakers. Buy QSC quality and you won't regret it.

I purchased these about 2 years ago from zZounds on the Play as You Pay plan. One thing that can't be denied is QSC's quality. I now own 6 of these speakers, and I can run my entire 4pc band minimum 3 nights per week, with very heavy vocals, drums, bass, acoustic and an electric using a Soundcraft Ui24R mixer, 2 for mains, and the other 4 as monitors, and one is used as a drum monitor and they don't even breathe hard. When I run them with a pair of 18" powered subs, they scream using the "Ext sub" setting, which enables a low pass filter. I am about to order a pair of KS112 subs to pair with these. They have increased in price since I purchased them but they are still worth every penny. Forget the JBL, EV, Mackie's I have used them all, and everyone of them needed servicing, but the CP12's are built like a tank. Buy QSC quality, you won't be sorry!

These things. They are the real deal. I’ve been using EV ZLX12s w an 18” sub. Sounded ok. V drums, guitar, synths, vocals, and tons of synth stems off a computer. New Wave/80s synth band. Could not resist the free stuff, so I bought these. Used them today for full band.,Holy crap. But these now. Right now. They are loud, clean, and so smooth....I can’t really describe it. Like the sound is coming out processed, but like, mastered processed. Unless that’s my amazing programming...but seriously. These are the total absolute bomb. zZounds, as usual....amazing. Here in one day. I love these guys. Seriously. If you are are playing to like, 2-300 people inside, these will do it. I’m gonna use them at an outside party next weekend. I’ll try to update this review if I can, when I know how they perform live. I’m betting amazing. My bud bought K12.2s. They sound great. These sound better. At least inside, in a rehearsal capacity.

I was trying to replace my Roland KC500 (65 lb keyboard amp) with something lighter so I bought the Mackie Thump12 which is 30 lb and sounds fine but I wanted a higher quality sound. I bought this one(also from zZounds) and thoug it’s twice the price it’s worth every penny. I use a Roland VR09 for Hammond and a Yamaha Mx61 for pianos, brass, and strings. The organ screams and growls, horns are crisp and bright, strings warm and lush, and pianos sound amazing through this full range amp. It’s even quite a bit smaller than the Mackie but the bottom end that comes out of this 12” woofer is phenomenal. Highs are crystal clear with no harshness. Plenty loud for a keyboardist in a high volume classic rock bar band. Spend the extra $.You won’t be sorry.

Received my pair of these last week, and I'm so glad that I bought them! I'm a DJ, and these speakers are the best that I've heard in their class. Clarity, stereo imaging, and power make these my new go-to speakers. The bass that they put out will amaze you! Don't waste time on Mackie, JBL, or EV that are a little cheaper! I can't wait to use these at a gig; I hope to buy the RCF powered sub (with 12" speaker) as an addition! I'm in Wilmington, NC, and we just went two weeks without power...since I got these last week I have mixed everyday! Saving up money now to buy the travel bags / carry bags!!!!

I bought a pair of these when they first came out. They're pretty light and physically a bit smaller than most 10" mains. They sound excellent, can get a lot louder than you'd think. Simple controls, no "features", just great sounding and compact mains or floor monitors. -- The negative reviews here; people not using these correctly. -- Please learn more before leaving a negative review about a product which performs perfectly (and then some) for it's intended use.

I’m a keyboard player and sound tech with steady work. I bought these to use at smaller gigs with my cover band. Had to use them at Tampa International Airport for a corporate gig in a pinch. No distortion, no red lighting on the limiter. Clear, LOUD, room-filling sound. They are light to transport, especially with the bags you can tote them in. I have 4 QSC 12.2s, 2 KW181s and TouchMix 16. Other than obvious limits on low-end, these CP12s can and will get you thru most gigs. Get you a pair.

I Plugged a SM58 directly into the mic channel with the DB boost on it sounded very muddy. I'm sending this back going with BOSE. I am a solo performer so I'm looking for a plug in and play without worrying about dragging around a mixer! This is not it!

These QSC Speakers are very light to carry. They don't have a lot of features like other speakers do.The volume pretty much needs to be at Full blast to get real Sound from them. The tiny pen size 25DBbutton is a joke and hard to see. The amp only produces high volume in certain positions on the amp selectorbutton on the the rea r side. Overall easy to use and small for maybe a Monitor. As a Main there a bit tinyfor that and may not produce enough volume unless there way up in the air. Indoors is ok but outdoorsthey are only good for monitors or small sessions. I like the fact that they are comfortable to move around.No reverb does not help and an external source will be needed for that. the speakers could use a cooling fan but i guess that's how they keep the price down. If your doing a small show they might be ok but notfor any large event. Any Nightclub small Acoustic act would most likely work.

I am now a fan of these QSC speakers. They rock and rarely clip! If you use them stand alone they can put out some serious sound. If you want to get the most out of them i suggest to use a drive rack! They will be super clear and fill the highs really well. I will buy another pair soon this speakers are also super easy to carry.
