Revisiting this 2 years later, and I still love these speakers. I still love that I didn’t spend $1k+ on something similar. These are the most slept on speakers in the industry, and I’m cool with that. Most djs like to show off their brands, and Harbinger is not a show off brand. If I had a bigger budget to work with, I would not switch brands, I would just buy more of these. Unless you are about to get into some high end concert stuff, this is the way to go.
I have a quick question out of curiosity what is the best settings for these speakers and how can I maximize the potential without blowing the speaks I know a dbx can help me but I would like a little more info just copped these speakers yesterday and I'm excited to use them but I want to configure them the best way possible
@@tinoelbambino420 as a fellow owner of these speakers i would say to bump up the lows 3 - 5 db's. highs in my opinion are good as they are, however I feel as if the mids are a little too much. and obviously there is no mid eq option, unless you have a mixer. if you do have a mixer tho, then i would turn them about 4 db's. obviously this is my opinion, and based off what my ears enjoy. others may give you their own answers/opinions
Llllopl the option li you'vep
The Spain made speakers are slept on as well
Good review! I am one of the people who have been waiting for this review since you did the tour of your storage unit. As a dj AND live sound engineer, I think these would be a good addition to my setup. I have learned to look at the individual product from a company, instead of seeing a brand and instantly saying no or yes. Example, behringer has some of the best digital mixers in the game right now. Harbinger has definitely stepped it up with their current line of speakers.
That rotation of the speaker was super professional.
I actually took these on a short west coast tour. Dates between Seattle to San Fransisco. I paired them with the Midas MR18 mixer. Once I got things dialed in, I was actually blown away. I got quite a few compliments. I left both speakers on a flat eq profile.
Great review! thanks bro! hope you are well in these times!
Such a solid review! Thanks Barr! Also that transition at 9:21 made me laugh 😂
That's ninja moves
Nice review bro! Good to see you reviewing a speaker brand other than the super expensive ones!
I started out on a pair of Harbinger's. They got me thru quite a few gigs and allowed me to upgrade to better speakers. The fly points on top stood out to me, you usually find that only on high end speakers. Cool review Barr, thanks!
How do you compare them with your current speaker.
I have 2 of the 18” subs, 4 of the 12” for stage monitors and 2 of the 15” for mains. I run sound (not professionally) with a total Harbinger setup, minus the mixer (using a presonus studio live). These speakers are no joke awesome. Clear voicing, great lows, so far no overheating outside, we will see this summer though. So far, fantastically solid.
how do they perform outside? i had the v2212 and they overheat easily even indoors.
I bought 2 of these this weekend from guitar center. I picked up the 12 in. ones to replace my 12in. powered EVs. The bass response is far better than the EVs. I play guitar and run my line 6 helix in stereo through them. I am very happy with them.
I ran my Axe Fx through them. Sounded great!
I have used the Vari 2112's as PA in a blues band I do sound for on occasion. It was the bands PA system. I was pretty impressed with the sound. If they kept improving on the sound I'm sure those speakers are fine to use, even if you are a professional. I'm not a name-brand snob, so it doesn't matter to me. My personal PA is Turbosound Milan gear, which isn't considered 'professional' either, but I've gotten plenty of complements on how my system sounds. I'd say my Milans are just as good as JBL Prx and EV ETX PA speakers, because I've used those too at a venue I've worked at in the past.
Just got one today… was gonna get another one but 1 is enough! VERY LOUD AND VERY HAPPY
Great Review! I have the previous model harbingers, and i can say that for the price, they get pretty loud for the parties i do, and some people were actually impressed with the sound and asked me about these speakers, and also i will say that the bass is enough for me and i like alot of bass, but im coming from a previous 15" party speaker that lacked bass and these were a huge improvement. One thing tho that i hear people say frequently, is that your tops should not have a lot of bass because it might overpower the highs, and you should have a balanced sound, so thats why depending on the size of the room or environment, most people usually uses a sub(s) to get loud bass. And I connect these speaker to a separate mixer so if im far from the speaker, i dont have to get up and walk to it everytime i want to adjust something when im djing, i can do it on the mixer next to me and i get better control imop. Stay Safe everyone.
They sound even better when you use a sub with them. I also get asked about them a lot. Great for 100-250 people & I do weddings with them all the time.
I just bought 3 of these 4112s & I love them with 2 Alto's subs( I love quality sound). QSC watch out..
QSC watch out? Have you seen the amps in this cab you will be disappointed.
Thank You for the Review!
I actually bought these speakers last month as my first DJ Speaker set. I had to get the woofer too but Im not dissapointed at all. These things were great for a quinceneara of 150 people without the sub! highly recommended. Thanks for making a vid on this DJ Barr!
How do i connect 2 peakers? Bluetooth
@@rudydelgado5032 this video should help you: czcams.com/video/LDFmXupO4GY/video.html&ab_channel=HarbingerProAudio
@@IamIanMusic sweet bro for the video!!!
Que tal suenan estoy pensando comprarlo con los subwoofer 18 2400 watts
Can I use a single speaker? Or do I need a left and right?
It’s just for home use
The guys who always argue “I’m a professional, I use only professional grade gear” are usually the same guys who still demand they meet a client first before booking them and more then likely have an “epic grand entrance where I give a little back story on each bridesmaid and groomsman” get over it, I have had a pair of budget speakers outlast a pair of “High end professional tops” not that I recommend every DJ to just go out and buy a bunch of these, but understand not everyone can afford QSC, if their talented and can complete a gig with a smile on everyone’s face why does it matter if their speakers cost a little less? If one fails, toss the backup on the stand and keep going ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ we are talking about weddings here... the bride does not give a shit about what label is on that speaker, she cares about her guests remembering how much fun they had at HER wedding! Man... these old school ways of thinking just need to be gone, thanks for the good video man!
We have the same problems in Germany.
I agree. There is a science to finding a good speaker and not just depending on a name brand. Most of the djs that say they only roll with QSC are either just trying to show off to other djs, or don't really know much about sound when it comes to eq and gain staging. Not that you can make ANY speaker sound good, because some are just crap. It's just that you don't have to spend $1000 to get a good speaker to do events with. I ran with some Alto TS212's for 4 years. I could get them to sound good, but they have no dsp and no protection. If someone screams too loud in the mic, then the tweeter is blown. I've replaced quite a few tweeters on them (I had 4 tops). It's just a horrible design flaw that Alto had, but I'm not sure if they fixed them with the TS3 series. So I would say that for the same price range with some much updated technology, these Harbingers are a good way to go.
These sound great and look good you it's like buying Gucci that's all sound wise with the bass hits hard
Yes man l am looking to buy a set and really want qsc but if l can save money and get close to the sound iam all in. I really want a punchy bass speaker with clean highs any suggestion apart of these?? Budget is $800 bucks my gigs are about 100 ppl .
@@Djdannyb305 800 each or a pair? Get these if for a pair. If you’re going for 800 each, go for Ekx 15p. I got lucky in October and got some used ones for my multi op second setup and tested them out New Year’s Eve. They really thump on club mode, with bass turned up to plus 4 dB. Good luck to you.
Also, I've seen a few comments where people are asking or talking about the Alto TS line. As a dj and live sound engineer, I have heard a lot of different speakers over the years. I had some Alto TS212's that I traded in to get these Harbingers. I will tell you that these absolutely KILL anything that Alto has out right now. I say that having had my Altos for 4 years, and produced a lot of shows with them. You can get the Alto's to sound good, but without any DSP or limiting/clip protection, they just don't hold up.
Good review 👌👍👍 very informative and helpful, I use Mackie SRM450 With a pair of Denon Dj 12" 2000w RMS subs but feel although the Mackie's are heavy and all mid and high and not forgetting Ugly 😅
Uhhh.. instant regret, haha
Awesome video! Time to binge :)
Remember man there subwoofer is amazing I have two of he 4000 series tops and two 18 inch v2318s
Hi DJ. I really liked your review. Personally I'm looking more to the 12" vs 15". Question, this will be hooked up to my Yamaha DTX Pro E drums kit so that being the case, how do you think this would sound and would you recommend it? Guitar Center has the EV ZLX-12BT. I listened to this speaker while it was hooked up to a Roland E drum kit. It didn't sound bad at all and considerably better than the Simmons DA200S drum amp. Do you think the Harbinger will have better sound reproduction over the EV? Thanks, Dwight
finally its have arrive thank you barr these speakers are probably the best but its a nice speaker etc
Just order two last night. I’m in the learning curve of this dj thing. My speaker are last generation harbinger vari 12 inch. Bass sucks but it’s only 600watts. I’m happy to upgrade and can’t wait to try these out man.
You made a good choice. I've been using Harbinger VARI 2315 & 2312's for quite sometime now. Super solid budget speakers & I recommend getting Gator bags for them.
Dude I still used and love these speakers. No complaints. Just upgraded to the mls1000 from harbingers. So far so good
Thank you bro, a Lil late but I'm here now lol
Hey Barbo, great review!
Question, I'm having trouble connecting my blue tube to my Harbinger 4115. Could you help?
Harbinger is a guitar center brand. They make the speaker, that's why it's a no hassle replacement if there's an issue with the product.
Thank you for that info , I think my mind is made up with that info ..harbinger🦾
ok now I know why some pro audio stores are offering packages on the 2300 series. thanks for the review.
Hey brother nice video, I have a question, I use The harbinger v2312 speaker of 2000 W, do you think I need the subwoofer? I was thinking in the same brand V2318s of2400W
Great vid thx!👏👏👏
Did you ever get more othan 1 of these to sync together? I can't figure it out and the company is not replying to my messages
nice.. i want that speaker to my gig.
Hi, how do I add an external subwoofer to this speaker
I have a Question . Ive got this speaker 2 days ago intended to use it for my singing . I have the pronlem about having reverve and echo on my System. Do i need to get the a mixer amplifier? In order to achieve the inhsncement of my sound like an studio sound ? Im a soloest baladeer. pls. Help me me.thank you so.much
Would you run these for back to back events if one your speakers die??
DAM YOU COVID-19 I would have been DJing for the past 2 years, but now I am ready.
If you had a budget system to get (tops/ subs), which one would you pick?
I do 1-3 gigs a year that I require “more. Didn’t wanna blow the bank on so little ROI.
TIA and love your content
I just bough this speaker, I wanted something loud for my back yard with a little bit of base hopefully this works great. I was gonna get the bumpboxx flare 8 pro but I decided to go with this one and it was about 120 $ cheaper
Does the PA speaker have a android compatible mixer app as the one that is available for the Iphone. I run on recent android software and would like to be able manually adjust presets. If you have any app recommendation that would be great too!! Thanks man have a good one! Looking into this bad boy for my pops birthday
What about the hissing ppl been talking about did they fix that or did you even hear that ?? Like when volume is up no music playing . Please let me know
With regards to just the sound output and the quality of sound - are these much better than the Harbinger 2215?
Are these Bluetooth where you can play music off your phone directly to the speaker? I have the JBL eon 615 they also say Bluetooth but it’s only to party chain two speakers together via Bluetooth not the Bluetooth like a JBL flip
Hi friend! could you help me? At the top it has two holes to hang them, could you tell me what I can insert there? I have a couple of them and I need to hang them up !!
What tweeter driver does it have in?
Can I use one single speaker? Or do I need a left and right
Hie man how are you l have been following your videos for long time l have a question
,which one is better between Alto Ts415 OrElectro voice zlx15bt for Outdoor Wedding and Partys
when will the setup review be out
Love it 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Can you please make another review of the best speakers you think we will be great for Artists performance?
Comprei 2 x v4112 +2 x v2318s
Mas a guitar center cancelou a compra.
A loja não atende o telefone e não responde ao email.
Alguém pode me orientar onde comprar Harbinger?
Obrigado.
Looks pretty decent
Hey Barr, hope all is well and you're surviving in the craziness. Since you said these were "good starter speakers", maybe compare these with other starters that you recommended like the Thumps.
Barr do a review on the ALTO TS315 2000 WATTS ❗❗❗❗
I like that the bass is low, then again, I add subwoofers to mysetup
Hello! I’ve read that these speakers have a pretty high noise floor and have an audible hiss when no active signal is going to the speakers. Have you found this to be the case? Thanks!
Ppl who use cheap cables without noise cancelling are the complaining 😂
Thank you. I just bought this speaker, and wanted to make sure i didn’t regret getting a JBLeon615 instead...thoughts?
(9:22...omg you made me jump so hard!)
How would u compare these to the Alto ts415 cheers
Hi, I want to know the RMS of those Speakers. 'cause they always mentions 2500w, but they are peak. Anybody Knows the RMS power of this speakers (v4115)?. I read In forums that they have 650 RMS, buy I'm not pretty shure about that are the real RMS.
Hi can you please provide me the weight of the speaker please. I need to shipped out of the country. Thanks for your time
Great job.... podrías evaluar la Behringer Dr 115dsp... Gracias!
Just got one yesterday, like dang its super loud. I put it real far and cranked it. Like why do I even need a second one. Lol
I have a set of the older model along with two 12s and two 18inch subwoofers and we mostly use it for live sound, would you suggest getting these two and adding them to the rig or just upgrade to better speakers??
Everyone’s got to start somewhere. I’ve heard these with the subs hooked up. I was more blown away the sub had so much punch. It was at low to medium volume but still for the price it’s a great value. The ZLX and Eons start around $450-499 when not on sale. These speakers might not last as long or have the punch like you need but just to start they are a good buy.
How do you know they won't last long 😂
I got them to i love them
So what is better harbinger or JBL?
These vs the V2315? Which would you recommend? And the price is now somehow $449 and discounted to $399 at guitar center...kind of feels like a scam they should be $350 for almost 2 years old now right?
When these speakers first went up, they were $399, and went on for sale for $350. but with the global component shortage. It's now $450, and goes on sale for $399. pretty sad that we could've taken advantage of the 350 deal.
I have been waiting for these to get reviewed. I think they are another tool in a toolbox but... I question the longevity. I think harbinger could be wanting to compete with the K12.2’S with a more cost effective version of that speaker because QSC is used so widely. I say this because you can compare feature for feature, fly points, spl, dsp, etc, the comparison goes and goes. IMO , I think this is a great value but you wouldn’t take a $30 Walmart jack to a nascar race even though it says it can hold 3 tons. It would be the wrong.tool for the job. I like the features and things you get. Harbinger has somebody make their stuff for them (I think) because I have heard that the previous “stick” they sold was Behringer. This is just me but is mackie the only company right now offering color dsp? I’m probably wrong and I have nothing to base my opinion on. So that’s my 2 cents worth. I think they will be a good speaker for some things but I don’t think they would hold up to the kind of beating that a K, etx, ekx, or some jbl can take take. Prob definitely better than alto. I really would like to see a tear down and look at the amplifier, is it built for the long haul. You remove the amp from other speakers again like the K’s and you see why you pay more. Okay, again, that’s my 2 cents.
I just got mine yesterday and then I tried to turn it up louder and it did a loud ass noise like if it popped, so I didn’t feel like using it again. Does anyone know why it did that?
Could be your DJ controller or cables
I bought these though after I watched your review
Are you satisfied with how loud they are?
Ok i bought 2 of these to put in my show barn to hear over cattle fans and blowers, they are amazing to hook my phone to and listen to stereo im trying to figure out how to hook them to the tv in fitting room can tell me how to do that, im not a tech person i bought a optical didgital to aux cord but cant get it to work any suggestions
If ur tv has audio out using rca, get a cable with rca on one end, and XLR on the other end, and you gonna be able to hear ur tv on the speakers.
Can you make a video about Harbinger V4115 vs EV ETX 35P , which one is better ? Not the price , I mean the sound quality !
Wouldn't even be close and 2 totally different applications
EV would STOMP it
We need lighting tutorials please
How many RMS Power haves?
Why I can't get the vari 4000 app on my Samsung A50? It's only for apple devices?, I don't think so.
Samsung phone?? is that like a house phone or something?? I didn't know people still had those.......
How come you didn’t show us how long it gets and how long it doesn’t get
'Vari' mixed reactions lol 1:23
Hi, I'm having a hard time connecting my phone for music with the wireless mic. I'm only able to do one or the another. Anyone knows how to do this?
You have to connect them together with an XLR cable.
@@danielross3616 Hi, thank u for replying.
I have the the xlr connected but it still doesn't allow me to have or use both at the same time. It's either the wireless mic or bluetooth for the phone that I can use.
That's so cool that companies send you their equipment free just so you can review it!
He is getting things to review...however free? I'm sure he had put in the work to earn getting those things. Props to him for building a youtube channel. I'm sure it's a lot of work.
What about having a qsc sub and a pair of those?
sounds like it would do the job pretty good
Can you link this to another powered speaker? Can you connect it to a non powered speaker ?
For all intents and purposes, no… at least for an unpowered speaker. No powered speaker can drive a linked unpowered speaker. Like everything, there are exceptions… but unless you’re certain you have that exception circumstance… assume you can’t do it.
Can I take it to a lake or back yeah douse it has a battery
IS IT WIRELLESS?
Do reviews on 3 piece speakers
Nice but I'll stick to QSC's and JBL's. Clean and clear is better then loudness. Just my opinion. 👍
I have 2 vari4112 they are damm clear. Qsc is good yeah but jbl... I'd never spend all that money over buying another harbinger
The high end JBLs are good. But the Eons are no better than these
@@snowvalleyrat yes sir. Agreed 👍
Estas bocinas se escuchan muy bien
Got a question, if one of woofers is blown,, can replace the speaker with another more expensive speaker that has better rating or does it has to be the same wattage and basically the same brand
This is what i got love them .
This is DJ Alex Stein like your videos and you're harbinger speaker
in 2022 I am looking at Mackie SRM 12, HARBINGER mLS100, HARBINGER VARI4115 to start and add subs later my gigs are usually under 200 guests for larger events I would bring my subs or rent. I really don't wan to spend over $1400
This is a guitar center brand they make this speaker guys
Cool I look it up website
I finally purchased a pair of the V42112's and they are absolutely great for the money. I got them on sale for $250 each. Yes, these speakers do get quite loud. If you don't have a whole bunch of money to spend, or you just don't have the desire to spend a bunch of money, I would definitely recommend buying these. You would be spending $800 on a single speaker to find one that will compete with or beat these!
I WENT TO A GUITAR CENTER TO TEST ALL HARBINGER SPEAKERS AND TO BE HONEST THEY SOUND REALLY GOOD, BUT THEY LACK OF POWER SO I DECIDED TO BUY A PAIR OF MACKIE THUMP SPEAKERS INSTEAD
You make zero sense...what power numbers are to comparing? Mackie Thump is the bottom of Mackies Bucket...
and in 4/2023 where are we at with this price range EV, Makie, Alro, Harbinger, Sound Town, or LD Systems ICOA
You should demo the Yorkville PS15P! Trust me, you won't go back to any other speaker!
Do you think (or anyone else in the comment section) think that it would be a good idea to buy the sub? (the v2318s)
Edit 12/29/21: nope it's not. I bought the package with the 2 v4115's and 1 v2318s, and honestly, it isnt that great. sub clips way too easily, tops completely overdo the sub. No way in hell that the sub is doing 2400 watts, with a max spl of 134db.
the sub sounds good, just not loud enough
Thanks I got the tops and I couldn’t have been happier but I’ve been wondering about the subs for a good while
its good if top speakers dont play bass i like it because they dont play low hz so they play louder in mid and hi
Can these speakers handle a crowd of 1500??
4 of them would
Are they good for Big outside parties?
I dj'ed with them outdoors in a large back yard and they sounded pretty loud, so they are great for large parties up to 100-200 people, but dont expect to use them in like a stadium size place. So room/area size matter more than the amount of people.
@@ErnestoAvilez92 Im thinking about what speakers to get for a summer outdoor party with like 500-600 people, last time we had some 4x jbl's with 2x subwoofers and it was an overkill, i spent 100$ for rental...
I'm going to grab a pair at that price
They're 15% off on Musicians Friend right now.
