00:07
Hi everybody, it's Chris here from QSC.
00:09
In this video we're going to give you a basic overview of the CP Series compact, powered loudspeakers.
00:15
The CP Series is a best-in-class powered loudspeaker solution
00:19
for customers seeking QSC performance, quality and reliability at a value price point.
00:26
Its compact size and light weight
00:27
also make it incredibly easy to transport and deploy
00:30
in both portable and installed applications.
00:34
For live music,
00:35
social and sporting events,
00:36
announcements, background music, and more,
00:39
CP Series has got you covered.
00:42
The CP series features two models:
00:44
the CP8 with an 8 inch woofer and The CP12 with a 12 inch woofer.
00:48
Both models use a 1.4 inch compression driver for brilliant high frequency clarity.
00:54
Powered by a true 1000- watt peak power module,
00:57
both models will deliver dynamic clarity to your music or performance.
01:01
Each loudspeaker includes a LINE,
01:03
selectable MIC/LINE
01:04
and 3.5 mm inputs with a post-gain output
01:07
for daisy-chaining multiple speakers together.
01:10
The One-Press +25dB MIC Boost switch
01:13
allows for a microphone to be connected directly to input B
01:16
without the need for an external mixer.
01:19
CP Series offers six easily-selectable voice contours for commonly-used applications.
01:24
These include:
01:25
The Default selection, which is the standard factory voicing.
01:29
This works great with live or program music, and instruments.
01:32
The Dance contour offers low frequency enhancement and mid/high clarity.
01:36
This is more suitable for program material playback like pop or electronic music.
01:41
Both the Default and Dance settings contours have an accompanying Ext. Sub setting as well
01:46
which puts an 80Hz crossover on either voicing
01:49
that matches the default crossover setting of a QSC KS Series subwoofer.
01:54
The Floor Monitor contour offers a full, balanced sound when the loudspeaker is used as a wedge monitor.
02:00
Each CP series model offers a 55 degree wedge angle,
02:04
making it a powerful and compact stage monitor
02:07
for venues and locations where space is at a premium.
02:10
This contour gives added stability when live microphones are nearby
02:14
without the need for external EQ or processors.
02:18
And finally, the Speech contour,
02:20
which affects only input B,
02:22
gives clarity and stability to the loudspeaker
02:24
when used with either a hand-held dynamic mic or headset.
02:28
Input A/C remains full-range
02:30
so that any audio running through the speaker is unaffected by the speech contour.
02:34
Both models are equipped with a 35mm pole socket
02:37
that allows use on a speaker stand or on a pole over a subwoofer.
02:41
The ultra-light weight of the CP Series makes it easy to lift onto a stand,
02:45
or carry from gig to gig.
02:47
That concludes the overview of the CP Series loudspeakers.
02:50
Thanks for watching and we'll see you next time!
