Compact, battery-powered loudspeaker offers exceptional sound quality, long battery life, and wireless control for today’s evolving ministry environments
Houses of worship today need audio reinforcement solutions that go beyond just the main sanctuary. From outdoor services and fellowship halls to classrooms and youth spaces, ministries increasingly require professional sound systems that are portable, reliable, and easy to set up.
The QSC CB10 Compact Battery-Powered Loudspeaker System was created to meet these evolving needs. Combining professional audio quality, battery operation, and Bluetooth® control, the CB10 provides churches with a flexible sound reinforcement solution that delivers high-quality sound wherever ministry takes place.
The CB10 showcases QSC’s long-standing reputation for engineering quality, durability, and exceptional sound performance.
Professional sound in a compact format
At the core of the CB10 is a skillfully engineered professional loudspeaker that delivers the clarity and musicality needed for worship settings. The system features a high-performance 10-inch low-frequency driver combined with a precise 1-inch compression driver to ensure balanced full-range sound.
This design enables the CB10 to provide clear speech intelligibility for sermons and presentations while also ensuring musical accuracy for worship music and accompaniment.
Unlike many portable loudspeakers designed mainly for convenience, the CB10 is built to professional standards, delivering the sound quality expected from a manufacturer with deep roots in installed and live sound reinforcement for houses of worship. The result is a loudspeaker that sounds exceptional while maintaining the rugged build quality worship teams rely on.
“Portable sound is no longer just a convenience in worship environments. It has become an essential ministry tool.” Chris Broulette, product manager for Pro PA Loudspeakers, QSC Audio
Battery-powered versatility for ministry use
A major advantage of the CB10 is its ability to achieve “plugged-in” performance while operating without AC power. Its built-in battery provides up to 12 hours of continuous use, allowing it to support a full day of ministry work.
This makes the CB10 especially useful for:
- Outdoor worship services
- Baptism ceremonies
- Prayer gatherings
- Youth ministry environments
- Fellowship hall presentations
- Overflow seating reinforcement
- Temporary worship spaces
- Beach services
- Emergency backup sound
The battery is user-replaceable (additional battery can be purchased as an accessory) without tools, allowing extended use when needed. This flexibility helps churches quickly set up professional sound systems without running power cables or installing extra infrastructure.
Integrated mixing and simple setup
The CB10 is designed for simple operation, particularly in worship environments where volunteers frequently manage sound equipment.
An onboard three-channel mixer enables direct connection of microphones, instruments, and Bluetooth audio sources. Built-in DSP and input presets make setup easier while helping optimize system performance.
The loudspeaker can be mounted on a standard speaker pole or placed on the floor using its built-in tilt-back angle. A programmable room delay of up to 200 ms also allows the CB10 to function as part of a distributed sound system, particularly useful in large, outdoor spaces.
Wireless control with the QSC Loudspeaker Control app
The CB10 is compatible with the QSC Loudspeaker Control app for iOS and Android devices, enabling Bluetooth control of DSP settings and system configurations.
The app allows users to:
- Adjust EQ and DSP settings
- Monitor system performance
- Manage other, compatible QSC loudspeakers
- Optimize sound from the listening position
This feature allows technical teams to make quick adjustments and simplifies operations for volunteers.
Built for reliability
Durability remains crucial for houses of worship investing in technology. The CB10 features a sturdy enclosure and includes a six-year warranty when registered within 30 days of purchase (with a one-year warranty on the battery), emphasizing its status as a professional-grade solution designed for long-term use.
Supporting ministry mobility
According to QSC, the CB10 was designed to satisfy the growing need for portable professional audio in worship environments.
“Portable sound is no longer just a convenience in worship environments. It has become an essential ministry tool, and houses of worship increasingly need sound systems that can move with their ministry,” said Chris Broulette, product manager for Pro PA Loudspeakers, QSC Audio. “With CB10, we focused on delivering the sound quality, reliability, and thoughtful engineering QSC is known for, while giving churches the flexibility to bring exceptional audio wherever ministry happens.”
A practical solution for contemporary worship settings
As churches expand activities beyond traditional venues, portable professional audio systems are becoming vital tools for ministry. By offering strong acoustic performance, battery power, integrated mixing, and wireless control, the CB10 provides a practical solution that helps worship teams deliver consistent, high-quality sound wherever they serve.
