Description
Laney CXP-112 Active Stage Monitor 240W
The Laney CXP-112 is a compact yet powerful active monitor designed to deliver clear, punchy output in live recording and monitoring applications without demanding excessive rack space or weight. Its 12" woofer paired with a high-frequency horn produces a well-balanced mix across the audible spectrum, making it equally effective for reinforcing vocal takes, instrument monitoring, or a complete band mix during tracking sessions. The unit's robust construction—vinyl covering with metal corners, reinforced steel grill, and rubber isolation feet—withstands the demands of frequent setup changes and mobile recording work.
Audio Performance
Rated at 120 W RMS with 240 W peak output, the CXP-112 achieves impressive volume and clarity from a relatively portable footprint. With a frequency response of 65 Hz to 18 kHz and high sensitivity of 98 dB @ 1W/1m, this monitor cuts through ambient noise and delivers articulate mids and crisp highs without requiring extreme input gain. The active 3-band shelving EQ—controlling bass, mid, and treble—grants real-time tonal shaping to adapt to different sources and room acoustics during tracking and mixing.
Connectivity & Control
Three independent gain controls—dedicated channels for mic (XLR), line (1/4" jack), and link output—allow flexible input routing and simple daisy-chaining to additional monitors for multi-artist or ensemble sessions. A master volume knob governs overall output level, while the 8-ohm external speaker output enables expansion without additional power amplification. The unit stands on a standard 35mm pole fitting, integrating seamlessly into conventional monitor stands and session configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the CXP-112 designed to monitor—vocals, full band mix, or instruments?
The CXP-112 excels at all three. Its 12-inch woofer and horn driver deliver well-balanced output across 65 Hz to 18 kHz, making it equally effective for vocal reinforcement, band mixes, or individual instruments on stage. The 98 dB sensitivity means it cuts through stage noise without requiring extreme input gain.
Can I chain multiple CXP-112 monitors together?
Yes. The unit includes a dedicated link output (1/4-inch) that allows you to daisy-chain additional monitors without needing separate power amplification. Each monitor has three independent gain controls for flexible input routing.
How portable is it for touring and frequent setup changes?
At 16 kg (35.3 lbs) with a standard 35mm pole fitting, the CXP-112 integrates into any conventional monitor stand and is light enough for regular transport. Its reinforced steel grill, vinyl covering with metal corners, and rubber isolation feet are built to withstand the rigors of touring.
What controls are available to shape the monitor mix in real time?
The active 3-band shelving EQ controls bass, mid, and treble independently. Three separate gain channels (mic XLR, line 1/4-inch, and link out) plus a master volume knob give you full flexibility to adapt to different sources and room acoustics on stage.
Is this suitable for studio or home recording use?
The CXP-112 is optimized for live stage monitoring and touring environments. It is not designed as a near-field reference monitor for studio production or critical mixing work, where flat response and acoustic treatment are priorities.
