Harbinger VARI VS12 12" Compact Powered Subwoofer With DSP

If you dream of a full-bandwidth sonic barrage that rivals the Dolby Atmos setup in your favorite movie theater, you’ll need to add a subwoofer to your sound system. Not surprisingly, the Harbinger VS12 subwoofer is designed to seamlessly partner with Harbinger VARI Live speaker systems (V2408, V2410, V3412 and V3415), but it can lower the boom, rock the bass and start a rumble on the dance floor for just about any PA configuration.

1,000 Watts of Peak Class-D Power Output

The VS12 has a built-in Class-D amplifier that delivers 1,000 watts of clean power for a maximum SPL output of 130dB. That’s a chunky bit of headroom. As a result, the VS12 can promise low distortion and clarity—even if thundering lows are pumping aggressively throughout the venue. To help protect the speaker when the bass is really pumping, the VS12 has clip LEDs for each input to guard against raging signal levels, and front- and rear- mounted limiter LEDs that let you know when maximum volume has been attained.

Massive Bass Made More Portable

Most subwoofers are beasts that working bands and DJs would rather avoid, as they can weigh as much as an adult elephant right after a holiday feast. But at 53 lb., the VS12 weighs less than a VOX AC30 guitar amp, and as iconic as the AC30 is, it can’t pump out low-end sounds down to 35Hz at a maximum SPL of 130dB. To make transport even less arduous, you can bring the deep bass to small clubs by adding just one VS12 to your system. Larger venues may require two VS12s—one mated to each main speaker—but the relatively lightweight VS12 still makes it no big thing to add whopping lows to your performance.
