Harbinger VARI V2408 8" Powered Loudspeaker: FAQ

Is the VARI V2408 loud enough for a live band?
The VARI V2408 is well suited for solo performers, duos, acoustic acts and small live venues. For louder full-band performances or larger spaces, additional speakers or a larger PA system may provide greater coverage and headroom.

Is the VARI V2408 good for vocals?
Yes. Its 8" woofer, 1" compression driver and built-in DSP are designed to deliver clear vocal reproduction for live performances, presentations and public speaking.

Can I stream music wirelessly to the VARI V2408?
Yes. The V2408 features built-in Bluetooth connectivity, allowing you to stream audio directly from a compatible smartphone, tablet or other Bluetooth-enabled device without additional equipment.

Can I connect two VARI V2408 speakers together?
Yes. Two V2408 speakers can be linked using Smart Stereo with a single XLR cable or paired wirelessly via Bluetooth for stereo music playback. This allows you to expand your sound system while maintaining simple setup and control.

Designed for portable sound reinforcement, the Harbinger VARI V2408 8" 400W 2-way powered loudspeaker delivers flexible performance for musicians, DJs and presenters working in smaller venues or mobile setups. Its custom 8" low-frequency driver and 1" compression tweeter are powered by a Class-D amplifier rated at 100W RMS (400W peak), producing balanced output with a 65Hz–20kHz frequency response and maximum SPL of 118dB. Meanwhile, integrated Bluetooth streaming, a built-in stereo mixer and selectable DSP voicing modes give this compact powered loudspeaker the flexibility needed for rehearsals, acoustic performances and small event PA systems.

Built-in Stereo Mixer With Multiple Input Options

The V2408 includes an onboard stereo mixer that allows up to five audio sources to be connected at once, reducing the need for an external mixer in smaller sound systems. Dual XLR/1/4" combo inputs accommodate microphones, instruments or line-level sources, while stereo line inputs and a 1/8" AUX input support keyboards, mixers and media devices. Bluetooth audio streaming allows wireless playback from phones and tablets, and a USB charging port keeps mobile devices powered during performances or events.

Smart Stereo and Bluetooth Linking for Expanded Systems

For applications requiring wider coverage or stereo playback, the V2408 supports multiple linking options. Smart Stereo technology allows two speakers to connect with a single XLR cable, with one unit acting as the master for volume, EQ and input control while distributing signal to the second speaker. Bluetooth pairing can also link two V2408 units wirelessly for stereo music playback. A dedicated output makes it easy to integrate a powered subwoofer, extending the system's low-frequency performance.

Selectable DSP Voicing for Live Sound Applications

Integrated DSP processing provides selectable voicing modes designed for different sound reinforcement scenarios. Normal mode supports general PA use and music playback, while Floor Monitor mode adjusts the response when the cabinet is positioned on its side for stage monitoring. Sub Cut mode engages a crossover designed for pairing with an external subwoofer. Bass and treble controls allow quick tonal adjustments, while a DSP limiter helps protect the system during higher-output operation.

Compact Cabinet for Portable PA Systems

Weighing just 15.5 lb., the V2408 is designed for easy transport between rehearsals, gigs and event spaces. Its durable polypropylene cabinet measures 10.1" x 10.25" x 17.25" and supports multiple placement options, including pole-mounted PA use, free-standing placement or wedge-style floor monitoring. Its lightweight design adapts easily to portable sound systems, small venues and mobile performance setups.
