Very solid product

I use QSC system for small/medium events up to 500 people. QSC CP12 are used either as monitors, side fills, front fills or delay lines. I really like their small format, but even though, they are still pretty powerful speakers. Six different voicing contours are great to use for different purposes. Floor monitor for monitor use, ext sub to use as side/front fills with KS woofers and speech for stand-alone operation. Stereo 3,5mm TRS connector is also really handy for that. Built quality is again on the side of QSC, CP12 feel really solid and well built. In terms of sound, they are of course not as good as K12.2 (logically, because they are lower price range), but they still sound very present, QSC like sound quality.

Pros:

- really compact, lightweight, small - easy for one-man job

- pretty strong for their small format

- very useful for different applications

Cons:

- with 126db SPL there is limit for types of applications for example for bigger stages, but that is not what CP12 is meant for

- under some conditions (type of music, weird PA environment) I felt they could be a little harsh on high-mids.

Total:

Really good speakers for this price range, which is pretty affordable. Build quality is solid, great features and good sound.
