Frequently asked questions
Which is better for live gigging?
The CXP-112 is purpose-built for live stage use with higher power (120W vs 80W), larger driver (12" vs 10"), touring-grade construction, and sensitivity rated to cut through stage noise. The Audiohub AH80 is better suited to rehearsals and small informal venues.
Which can handle multiple input sources at once?
Both units accept multiple inputs, but the Audiohub AH80 is designed as a mixer-speaker with three dedicated channels featuring individual level controls, XLR, dual 1/4", and 1/8" aux inputs. The CXP-112 has three gain controls for mic, line, and link output but is primarily a monitor meant for a single mixed feed.
Which has onboard effects?
Only the Audiohub AH80 includes integrated delay effect with time, feedback, and level controls, plus a 5-band graphic EQ. The CXP-112 offers only a 3-band shelving EQ with no delay or modulation effects.
Which is more portable for rehearsal?
The Audiohub AH80 is designed for portability and rehearsal use with a carpet-covered cabinet and dual-position kickback. The CXP-112 is more rugged and stage-focused, with heavier touring construction and pole-mount fitting, making it less convenient for frequent casual transport.
