Should You Buy The Harbinger VARI V3412 Powered 12' 2-way Loudspeaker?

You Can Find the Harbinger V3412 at

Description
Harbinger VARI Live V3412 powered speakers include a built-in mixer with Bluetooth audio and Smart Stereo capability for versatile amplification of up to five inputs at once, including microphones, guitars and multiple stereo sources. PEEK Performance is achieved through significant upgrades to the three most critical sound-delivery components: a PEEK tweeter for smooth yet detailed high frequencies, a gas-assist cabinet delivering well-balanced and articulate mid-range frequencies with an expansive stereo image, plus an XR woofer for well-controlled, extended low frequencies. You can also customize the DSP-optimized sound as you control and configure your VARI using the free VARI Series app for iOS, iPadOS and Android.
Versatile Built-In Stereo Mixer
VARI 3400 speakers have a versatile stereo mixer built right in, with all inputs available at once. Solo and small group musicians can plug in a couple of mics or instruments, along with stereo keyboard or electronics, and still have AUX and Bluetooth input as well. You can also easily connect your own mixer to the high-quality balanced stereo line inputs. And now there’s even a CHARGE jack to supply up to 2.1 Amps of power for your USB-standard devices.
Wireless Stereo Linking
When Bluetooth audio is all you want to amplify—and you want to avoid using audio cables—VARI 3400 speakers allow wireless stereo linking. A pair of V3412 speakers will act as a left-right pair, both receiving audio from the same smartphone, laptop or other Bluetooth audio source, with no audio cables required.
Five DSP Voicings
Selectable voicings instantly configure sound-optimizing DSP for common applications. Choose from Standard, Club, Speech and Floor Monitor options, plus a Custom voicing you can set using the VARI Series app. Bass and Treble knobs then let you further adjust that sound for your individual preferences. A SUB CUT feature makes it easy to use MIX OUT to feed a subwoofer, while providing the ideal crossover between the V3412 and the subwoofer. Plus, a high-precision, transparent DSP limiter automatically protects your VARI speaker from audio overload.

iI tested these 12 inch loud speakers out at guitar Center over the Labor Day holiday weekend they had them on sale for $299.00 each and let me tell you something they rock for that price you could easily do a small wedding of 100 people or less with these with a good mixer. If you were looking at the EV ZLX speakers check these out First. they are loaded with the options and direct connectivity from one speaker to the other one in true stereo, I purchased two and an eight channel mixer that was on sale and they truly sound good and have decent bass response but would recommend getting a subwoofer sooner or later. They truly rock thanks Harbinger for making a good sounding mild budget speaker.

Thanks for this review. Debating if I will trade my 2312s for these or get the 4112s.

When a Harbinger mixing board will "pair" with a "source device", & so will the Harbinger speakers, does that mean that the signal that the speakers are recieving is being provided by the mixing board? Reason: If the SPEAKERS are paired with a laptop (source device), the signal the speakers recieve has "bypassed" the mixing board & is not recieving the "input" from your microphones which are connected to the mixing board. Correct? In other words: How do you you get the input from the microphones connected to the mixing board to the speakers?

I rented these from Guitar Center, and they were loud but for outside applications, they just about did the job. I wish they were a little louder outside.

Harbingers are sleeper speakers. For being a low-budget product, they deliver. If you push them with a good mixer and EQ, they'll hold up to any 1000 dollar speaker out there. The subwoofers aren't the best, but the tops are great

[juliovargas]

I got 4 subs18 and 8 speakers. What or how are the perfect connection for all? I will appreciate if you answer my question. Thx.

[curtelliott]

I have the 2312's and the s12's and absolutely love them. I get alot of comments from people on how clear and punchy they are. I wish Guitar Center would put the new 3412's and vs12's back on there 48 month payment plan, if they did, buy another set.

[andreitimban]

Can I connect V2212 to this? Thanks and a good video as well.

[luciosanchez]

What do you think about those harbinger 3415
are better than Mackie thump 215xt??

[mister-sclark]

Thank you for your content. Question.... for a mobile DJ setup would recommend connecting two 15 inch powered tops with one 12in subwoofer?

[SuAmigoElilegal]

Hello question, can I put my ekx12P power speakers into my harbinger v2312s ? My EV box are broken so can't use anymore. so can I upgrade to to harbingers

[trevork]

Man, you are good at selling these! There is a beautiful high end response that's impressive for this price. WWBW 20% off now (GC will match though ;)). Thanks for this review!

[DJShuffle]

I'm getting this thing next year, and how many watts on that speaker?

[DJJeckyll]

Great video! How would you compare this against the Alto TS412?

[trooper]

Hi Robin, I love the videos and information. Could you do a review on the alto 415 cheers

[Cesarz]

Can you suggest something as a power source for DJ when power is no available. Generation vs battery

[LuisDelgado-itxh]

Buen video! Ahora sí estoy en apuros y debo tomar una decisión entre estos o los Icoa15A BT. 😢😮

[CristinaLuyon]

can I turn on both Bluetooth while both speakers are link in?

[oshikiri]

Could 2 of the 15's be used without a mixer simultaneously?
