- This video is a comparison of the Harbinger S12 and the VS12. To me, they seem like the same speaker. The specs are the same and there are only a few cosmetic differences along with a USB charging port. Try to find these when they are on sale during the holidays. I love the way mine sound when paired with the Mackie Thump Go. Just don't over pay for them. Wait for the holiday sales.
I have 2 subs and 2 tops everything is Harbinger. Talk about a great sound. Whoever disses this speaker is just a snobbish person. I've heard various name brands such as QSC EV Mackie and others. Believe me those Harbinger 12s are really really good. I plan on buying 2 more
I agree. These are great subs. I'll be using them this weekend at a small wedding reception with the Mackie Thump Gos
Hey bud~ nice review! I see that you have two of these subs, do you think just one of these is enough for outdoor gigs? I already have 2 JBL EON612's for my speakers, and just want to add a sub.
I've done some events with just one sub but I really like having two.
I am just about to order a VS12 and I am in the same situation as you were. I have an S12 and yes the specs look the same except if you look at the manual of both near the end, the S12 lists the amp and speaker at 4 Ohm while the VS12 list them at 8 Ohms. I would be surprised Harbinger would have moved to a 8 Ohm amp/speaker, which my limited understanding would result in a more expensive setup except if there were reliability issues with the S12 setup. Maybe this is the reason for the price hike? I wrote to Harbinger customer support asking about this reported difference.
I have had my S12 for a couple of years and don't use it often. It has been a good performer for small bar/outdoor shows.
I didn't notice that difference. I'll have to take another look at the manual. I've had great experiences with both speakers while DJing small events. You won't be disappointed with the VS12.
@@logisticalstyles Thanks. I did order a VS12.
So do they sound about the same what do you think is the real rms power ? Is this units subswoofer bulky and heavy ?
For the handles will it last or do they feel easy to break since it’s build in handle of wood cover by paint plastic or something ….
I have the 18” but it takes away so much space and I only use it indoors 😅 heavy to take up and down the car but does have wheels .
I used to have a pair of 18" subs but it was overkill for the gigs I do and they were too heavy. My main system is the RCF J8. I bought these Harbinger subs to go with my Thump Go setup. They are pretty small and compact. The handles are carved into the side of the speaker cabinet. They can't break. I honestly think both models sound the same.
What size battery pack are you using to power these for the 3 and half hours you mentioned?
It's discontinued but this is the one I use. amzn.to/4eOfAcy
Those are advertised wrong if they are s12s labeled on there is vs12 not S12, smh
are the simons for drums only? can you use it for dj.
@@StuartRauol you can use them to DJ with. They are the same exact sub.
