Would love to know how these compare to the original K series? I am wanting to get a new monitor set up for my band and I currently own a single K10. I love it but I want a matching set. Can't decide if I should get two K10.2s, another used K10 or just go to the CP8 or even 12 as it's the same weight as the K10.
Looking at the QSC CP8. I'm liking the CP8's better mostly because the highs sound much more natural and in perspective. The highs sound very hyped and almost harsh in the EV's. Thanks for doing this, I'll check out your other video now.
Great video but you had the QSC set for external sub attachment. Should it have been set to Default or Dance to obtain full/better effect as a stand alone unit?
I dont no nothing I want to play solo gigs with electric guitar this should work also you live in a nice place did DJ'ing get you all this great job thank you...Roland J Gutierrez from Magdalena New Mexico USA...
Hi Noel. Would you be able to fix the video in the room also compare Zxa1 and CP 8 to music like Classic, Romantic piano, Guitar instrument music? Thank you very much. Videos are perfect. thanks. Would you recommend me QSC or EV? QSC is going into the clip or EV? Higher and medium frequencies are better for QSC or EV? Thank you for your response
I recommend the QSC. The QSC also has a live setting in the contour switch. I could do a another comparison but I already know the QSC is going to sound better so the point would be mute.
Thank you for the information. I ordered one piece. He'll be getting me on Thursday. I'm curious about the sound. I'm the advice. Thank you for your reply. greetings
Hey. I just got them. and they are amazing. no comparison to ev. .. QSC cp8 has that K8 original sound punch that can handle the bass . I had the Ev and blew out the woofers twice. .. 1000 watts of power in a compact Box. ..
Edgar Ruiz wow, you really pushed the EV’s. I have not blown mine since I only used them for small parties and ceremonies. The CP8 so far only used them for the test to see if they at least kept up with the EV and was happy to have gotten an even better sound for the money.
hi guys,I had a EV 360 with Allen heath 12 and want to change all to QSC,i have the QSC touch mix8,which sound good ,just have a lot problems with player..is jumping song to song on his own and make me really problems to play right song on live show performance, when I can't wait, just after talk press and go and also the player doesn't start immediately, so I have a problem to sincronize it with my stand alone lights case.Now im on decision what speakers to order..if the QSC K8.2 or QSC CP8.Can somebody give some advice plz?Thank u all, xx
If price is not an issue then the K8.2 otherwise go with the CP8 which are a. Great value. Check out my new review in the CP8 th-cam.com/video/icIO7bffZSc/w-d-xo.html
QSC 10.2 is a no brainer for live sound with at least a 1000w subwoofer. No Sub, = you are charging too much to DJ. I run 2 QSC k10's one is a 10.2. I will be buying a second 10.2 soon. I run a 15" 1750 watt EV active sub that I have been using for 10 years. Replaced the driver with a Peavey Low Max 4000 watt max driver and will never look back. K12's/.2s are awesome but heavy if you work a lot and have to carry them a long way, or up stairs, that I do sometimes.
QSC's have a punchy bass but the also have piercing highs. See if you still like them after 5 hours of music at 100 to 110db. The EV's are the "clear" winner since they have a balanced sound and intelligibility, which make them ideal for live vocals, karaoke, speeches and DJ events. The EV's will also shine with certain types of recorded music like Jazz, Classical, Opera, etc. The QSC's have more bass, but who cares since you're going to use a subwoofer anyway?
Thanks for taking the time. I have an original K8 and a pair of original K12s for my sax with backing tracks gigs, but with bad discs in my lower back, I had to find something lighter. I schlepped one of my K12s into Guitar Center to compare backing tracks sound with the CP12. I think the K12 sounds a smidge richer and has more power, but the CP sounded phenomenal for the price and came pretty darn close in deep richness-- and for 12 lb lighter, and the PRICE?! No brainer. Just fantastic.
Ah Yes, Thanks for clarifying. He's right, I thought I had changed it to dance. I didn't realize I missed it by one. That just means that the CP's are going to sound even better. I will do another video with the contour setting change.
I now see what you meant to say and thank you for pointing it out I thought I had changed it to dance, This means that the CP's is going to sound even better. I will make another video with the correct settings. Thanks again for pointing it out.

Yes, I shot another video afterwards with the correct settings. You can find it on my changel under QSC CP8 Speaker and Tote Bag Review.
Thank you for this review. Great Video
Just scooped up a pair of CP12’s with bags.
Great channel noel thank you for the videos and tips it really helps
That is awesome! Thank you for your comment
QSC wind that round. Fuller sound and more punch.
I dont no nothing I want to play solo gigs with electric guitar this should work also you live in a nice place did DJ'ing get you all this great job thank you...Roland J Gutierrez from Magdalena New Mexico USA...
i like the setup testing outdoors but would have been nice to have some vocals though i understand youtube copyright thing ...
I think the sub function is on the electro vioce

The k serries are a lot more versitile though with their parametric eq and time delay.
Thanks for the review. These look like a great option for smaller events. What stands are you using? They’re nice and compact.
Your welcome Ervic, I will get back to you on the stands since I bought them around 6 years ago and have them in my warehouse.
Thanks I appreciate it. I’ve got a lot of the hydraulic ultimate stands but those seem overkill for the CP8s.
You'll definately love these
Just ordered a pair with covers from Proaudiostar. We already have 4 K8’s but say these prices, it’s hard to pass up.
Ervic Aquino I totally agree
Nice review 👍

Hi! Nice video. Will wait for further videos. Can u please explain how to setup wirelessly.? I can see a small little box in the video. Thanks
Libero Spadaccino Musica Animazione Matrimoni I have several videos on how to setup, here’s one th-cam.com/video/Lp6U0KEYLgw/w-d-xo.html
QSC winner...
Hows the bass
You set the QSC to default external sub. Correct? You aren't using an external sub, so it's rolling off. OR am I missing something here?
Sorry, just seen your correction. Nice job on your video's. I have the K10's and 8.2's. Looking for something more portable. Thanks again.
ufdalea feel free to check out the other video that I did , you might find something useful as I also provide some tips
@@djnoelcolon I did. And thank you. Very informative ! QSC rules.

Hey what type of speaker stands are those?
They are Samson
What speakers stands are those? They seem pretty compact....
John Stratton Hi John , they are Sansón Here is the link for the speaker stands amzn.to/2yFp1Ib
@@djnoelcolon Thanks!
Do we need 1000w mixer with qsc cp8
No

I noticed that when had the k8 Jesus the deep setting was nice
qsc dsp default mod god
speakers .......toys
I think the QSC has more high ends
Yes, It had a little bit more than the EV but not by much.
Qsc sound better its newer tech also
You will get way better and fuller sound with a external mixer.
The controller itself does no justice whatsoever
Which ones sound better and louder?
Rene Rodriguez the QSC CP8 has a little more punch
Noel Colon I heard the CP 12’s the other day, I was pretty impressed they put out some good bass
i don't doubt it, I was impressed with the bass on the CP8's as well

Yes Jim, I'm very happy with them. Just got the bag in this weekend. I will be posting a new video on them next week.
you had the external sub on the QSC, with no external sub! lol. leave it on default and redo
ZYZZXX there was no external sub in this video, you must have been looking at another video from someone else . Feel free to watch this video.
@@djnoelcolon I think what he means is that at 6:21 the contour is set to Default Ext Sub on the QSC. I presume this affects the low end?
Ah Yes, Thanks for clarifying. He's right, I thought I had changed it to dance. I didn't realize I missed it by one. That just means that the CP's are going to sound even better. I will do another video with the contour setting change.

I finished uploading a new video with the correct setting

it's useless for busking, has no reverb
Get a reverb pedal or little mixer then
@@AceOfBass-pk1go I just got a battery powered mixer and it is amazing!!!
