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.

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.

[@HaoAutoMechanic]

Hi Robin I did order from musician friends @ your links,thank you for your help,have a great day.

[@expertisland]

Enjoy! And thank you.

[@trevor3k]

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!

[@expertisland]

I appreciate that! If I like a product and think it is worth it price I make the video. If not, I don't bad mouth it I send it back.

[@expertisland]

I just watched a couple of your videos you are Good, It's been 4 years senses you posted any new Music video, No new content to share?

[@trevor3k]

Thank you very much!! I have released some recordings since then, but I want to make sure I have the right intentions for videos- something hopefully inspiring and not just "watch me play". :) You are really good at sharing your knowledge and passion for your content in a way that comes across as not self serving and is a service to the viewer. So, I hope my next video can do that too. Take care and keep it up!

[@goodwill559]

He is great, isn't he! I'm not currently in the market for powered speakers but his voice & demeanor keep bringing me back

[@curtelliott3344]

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.

[@LuisDelgado-it8xh]

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

[@expertisland]

Thank you, The LD Systems ICOA is very Good but costs more Good New Guitar Center has both to try here is the link guitar-center.pxf.io/LDsystems

[@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

[@66trooper]

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

[@expertisland]

Thanks for asking, I already requested some gear, including the TS415, TS412, and Subwoofer, but still not here.

[@66trooper]

@expertisland Fantastic news I'm looking to buy a set so could do with your expert advice for a UK DJ

[@andreitimban1401]

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

[@randycooper3940]

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?

[@juliovargas3751]

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.

[@PatsTechReview]

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

[@expertisland]

I will be having a video showing the difference between the 3400 vs 4100 SOON.

[@aaronbrock3579]

Same boat here man.. really could just use a "yes go with the 4112s" ;) ...what's newer? Probably going 4112 if it's the over all winner 🏆

[@imperialvision]

I hope you have the video soon. For $30 more it seems better to get the4000 series. Maybe with a cleaner box in the 3000 series there mught no be no difference in loudness between both of them by testing it with ear.​@@expertisland

[@mister-sclark1675]

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

[@expertisland]

Your Tops will run away from the subwoofer at like 25%, you minimum is 2x 15" subwoofers.

[@13bcoffee]

I would recommend 2x18 subs for 2x15 tops ...

[@DJCuhhhstin956]

Will these PA's pass the bluetooth audio out via its output xlr to say a subwoofer, or will it not output that bluetooth audio? I know alto and mackie doesnt, yet my siesmic audio riot 15's and my ev everse 8's both do

[@expertisland]

Bluetooth acts like an input and will pass thru the Mix Out and the Linked Out.

[@Leonardthelonerboner]

What is the name of the app?? Can't find anything 😢

[@DJJeckyll]

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

[@expertisland]

Coke and pepsi for Now. I will have a head to head soon.

[@imperialvision]

I am also curious about this.

[@13bcoffee]

I know of DJs and bands that use those. They are at about the same level.

[@DJJeckyll]

I went with the Harbinger and has worked out very nicely for me.

[@Cesarz28]

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

[@expertisland]

Battery Costs more but Mush Better NO Motor, No smoke, No Noise, Costco has coupons from time to time, or amazon.

[@Hubjeep]

Inverter generators are very quiet. I've used my Honda EU2000i to power my setup.

[@brandonbollschweiler872]

It all depends on how long you need to run the speakers. I've got an inverter generator and a larger solar generator. The solar generator would power my 2 speakers for a couple hours since the speskers don't pull all that much power, but if I needed something for all day or even 4-5 hours consistently, I'd take my inverter generator.

[@matthewlivingston3168]

I wish you could control a master volume from the app.

[@expertisland]

That is one of the reasons to upgrade to the V4115. I will cover all the extras on an upcoming video (the Harbinger V3415 Vs V4115)

[@Junior-db2rl]

Please do the SV18 Sub..

[@expertisland]

Coming Soon This Friday.

[@DJShuffle07]

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

[@expertisland]

The Manual says 2000w Peak But the Max SPL is very good at 128dB

[@oshikiri999]

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

[@expertisland]

For Sure No Problem, everything you need to run 2 or more speakers is all built into the back of the Speakers.

[@luciosanchez4204]

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

[@expertisland]

Thump vs Harbinger is like Coke vs pepsi, Bang for your Buck Harbinger.

[@luciosanchez4204]

@@expertisland ok thank you. Good video.

[@user-de1wu3pp8n]

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

[@expertisland]

Yes there is always a main use the Bluetooth on that one.

[@310Sparkz]

Could I use 2 , 12” tops for like a back yard family event (50 people) without a sub ?

[@13bcoffee]

Yes .... just eq some more bass in ...
