Wrote the following about QSC CP8 8-inch Active Full-Range, 1000W
Small and powerful but quite heavy and no slip cover without extra purchase. About £150 cheaper, but not as versatile as a certain similar product by B--e: no reverb or separate eq on each input and no battery or bluetooth. Sound is loud and clean but the gains need to be well up - especially for an acoustic guitar piezo. Slightly disappointed but it will do a job.

Ik heb 'm gisteravond voor het eerst gebruikt bij een moderne dansrepetitie in een grote theaterzaal. Ik vond er een goed geluid uitkomen. Heb 'm op standje Dance ext dub gezet. Ermee tillen van de auto naar de theaterzaal is ook goed te doen. Niet te zwaar. Het heeft een prettig handvat.
De service van BAX is ook goed bevallen. Vandaag besteld is echt morgen in huis. Netjes verpakt. Goede communicatie via email. Ik ben tevreden.

Très bonne petite enceinte utilisée comme retour de scène pour ma part, bonne puissance, bon rendu et clarté dans un outil léger et compact c'est tout ce que je lui demandais, parfait!!! En façade sur de la petite prestation ça doit pouvoir le faire avec l'ange de dispersion assez large mais j'utilise des CP12 du coup ;)

Tip top...Largement correcte pour mon usage : Djing. Néanmoins, je n'aurais pas mis ce prix pour ce niveau de prestation. La promotion était tentante...aujourd'hui, pas sur d'en commander une autre au prix affiché...

Process de commande et de livraison au top...

compacte, facilement transportable, elle n'a que des qualités pour son prix. (c est du made in china, bien sur, à ce prix).

Mes 5 étoiles se réfèrent à son prix abordable, et au fait que pour une enceinte de sono, elle est meilleure que toutes les enceintes de taille comparable, ou enceintes plus grosses mais premier prix, que j'ai pu entendre chez les amis.

Pour ce qui concerne le son, elle est donc excellente MAIS toutes proportions gardées ! Ce n'est pas de la hi fi, loin de là ! (je le rappelle, car à lire certains avis enthousiastes sur des sites spécialisés, j'avais cru que c'était la derniere merveille du monde). non. sur une chaine hifi haut de gamme, je peux reconnaître si un morceau est en wav ou en mp3 128 kbit, ici sur la cp8 je ne le peux pas. La résolution sonore ne dépasse pas celle du mp3 128 kbit/sec. je peux quand meme y reconnaître la différence entre un telechargement basse resolution sur youtube, et le mp3 128 kit, mais la différence est moins nette que sur la hi-fi.

la réponse n'est pas tout à fait linéaire, une légère distortion est perceptible à l oreille, et je suis assez déçu du controleur dsp dont je pensais qu'il corrigerait tout. il ne m'apporte RIEN. il sert surtout (et uniquement, à mon sens) de cut off basses frequences, si on connecte un caisson de basses, ou si on veut moins déranger les voisins.

l'amplificateur est lui aussi beaucoup plus mou qu'un ampli hi fi.

la directivité est bonne, donc avec une seule enceinte placée bien en face du synthé, j'arrive presque à ne pas regretter le son stereo. En gros, si on a besoin d une enceinte amplifiée nomade correcte : je recommande.

je l'utilise pour jouer du synthé, meme si le son est moins bon que sur ma hi fi, car le synthé peut balancer d'un coup des fréquences extremes, en tournant un potard, donc je ne veux pas risquer de griller ma hi fi avec. avec le volume de la cp8 au quart, j'ai suffisamment de puissance et ne cours pas le risque d’abîmer le matériel.
