QSC CP8 Two-Way 8" 1000W Compact Powered Loudspeaker with DSP
 
The QSC CP8 packs impressive clarity and output into a remarkably small footprint, making it a powerful yet portable solution for live sound, installs, and mobile rigs. This compact powered loudspeaker combines an 8-inch woofer, a 1.4-inch compression driver, and a 1000W peak Class-D amplifier (800 W LF + 200 W HF) to deliver up to 124 dB SPL with smooth, 90° conical coverage. Onboard DSP with Intrinsic Correction and Directivity Matched Transition optimizes phase, frequency response, and protection so your mix stays punchy and intelligible at higher levels. A six-position bank of presets (Default, Default with Sub, Dance, Dance with Sub, Floor Monitor, Speech) lets you dial in the right contour in seconds without external processing.
 
I/O is flexible enough for solo performers, presenters, and rental systems: two locking XLR/TRS combo inputs (one with mic/line switch and +25 dB boost), a 3.5 mm stereo input, and an XLR mix output to feed another speaker or recorder. The rugged polypropylene cabinet with 18-gauge steel grille is built to travel yet stays easy to lift at about 21 lb. Mount on a standard 35 mm pole, fly via dual M8 yoke points, or lay it on its side as a low-profile floor monitor—its compact geometry fits tight stages, classrooms, and mobile DJ setups.
 
Measuring roughly 16.2 x 10.7 x 10.1 inches, the CP8 is a grab-and-go portable PA speaker for coffeehouse gigs, worship spaces, education, and corporate events. When registered within 30 days, it’s backed by QSC’s generous six-year warranty, underscoring its reliability for critical sound reinforcement.
 
QSC Tote for the CP8 Compact Powered Loudspeaker
 
The QSC CP8 Tote is a purpose-built soft carrying bag designed to protect and streamline transport of the CP8 active loudspeaker. Sized specifically as a CP8 loudspeaker tote, it offers a snug, reliable fit without unnecessary bulk. The padded interior helps guard the cabinet from dings and scuffs, while the heavy-duty Nylon/Cordura-style outer material resists abrasion and everyday wear. Its weather-resistant construction helps shield your speaker from light rain and dust between the vehicle, stage, and storage.
 
Engineered as a dedicated loudspeaker transport bag, the CP8 Tote keeps setup simple: slide in the speaker, zip, and go. The soft-bag format packs flatter than a hard case when empty, saving space in vans, closets, and backstage areas. As part of the QSC CP Series ecosystem, it’s an ideal accessory for coffeehouse performers, corporate A/V teams, educators, houses of worship, and mobile DJs who need a straightforward, durable way to carry a single CP8.
 
Shure Beta 58A Handheld Supercardioid Dynamic Microphone
 
The Shure Beta 58A is a supercardioid dynamic vocal microphone built for professional live sound where clarity, gain-before-feedback, and durability are essential. Its tailored 50 Hz–16 kHz frequency response emphasizes articulate midrange and controlled lows for close-up vocals, helping lead and background singers cut through dense mixes. The tight polar pattern rejects off-axis noise and stage bleed, while the neodymium magnet and internal pneumatic shockmounting work together to reduce handling noise and maintain a clean, focused signal.
 
Rugged construction is standard Shure: an enamel-coated die-cast metal body, hardened steel mesh grille, and integrated pop filter that helps tame plosives without an external windscreen. With standard 3-pin XLR connectivity, the Beta 58A plugs directly into mixers, interfaces, and portable PAs. Compact at approximately 6.3 × 2.0 inches and about 0.62 lb, it’s comfortable to hold for long sets and well suited for houses of worship, corporate AV, rehearsal rooms, and touring stages.
 
Gator Frameworks Pair of GFW-SPK-2000 with Carry Bag
 
The Gator Frameworks GFW-SPK-2000 set provides a reliable, space-efficient way to elevate PA loudspeakers. This two-stand bundle uses lightweight, rigid aluminum speaker stands that are easy to transport yet support up to 125 lb per stand—great for compact PA speakers and portable rigs. Height adjusts from roughly 48 to 81 inches so you can optimize coverage, and the dual-diameter inner tube accommodates both 35 mm and 38 mm speaker mounts. Gator’s removable red safety trim on the feet improves visibility on dark stages.
 
Between shows, both stands store neatly in the included carry bag for fast load-outs and organized transport. The tubing is designed for a stable feel at working heights, locks engage positively, and the finish resists typical gig wear. Standard tube diameters ensure compatibility with most speakers that use 1-3/8" or 1-1/2" pole sockets.
 
Pro Series Standard XLR Cable (25 ft)
 
The Pro Series Standard XLR Cable is a high-performance microphone cable designed for professional audio applications. Its 20-gauge tinned-copper conductors and 95% braided shield deliver strong signal integrity and excellent noise rejection in stage, studio, and installed environments. A durable yet flexible outer jacket stands up to frequent coiling and routing while staying easy to manage.
 
Outfitted with quality XLR connectors, this 25-foot cable provides secure, reliable connections between microphones, mixers, interfaces, and powered speakers—ideal for vocalists, presenters, and AV teams who need dependable, clean signal paths.
