Harbinger VARI 3000 Series Powered Speakers | Features and Overview

Description
The Harbinger VARI VS18 powered subwoofer delivers the kind of low-end power and precision that sets the foundation for unforgettable performances. Designed to complement Harbinger's V2408, V2410, V3412, and V3415 speakers, this robust subwoofer is built to handle massive groove attacks with clarity and impact. Featuring an 18" driver and advanced DSP technology, it produces deep, punchy bass that reaches down to the low frequencies essential for live sound or DJ setups. Its 2,400W of peak Class-D amplification ensure ample headroom, while limiter LEDs provide protection against distortion during high-volume use. With seamless integration options and room-tuning capabilities, the VS18 is a powerhouse designed to rock the dance floor and anchor your sound system with precision.
2,400W of Class-D Power Output
At the heart of the VS18 is its 2,400W Class-D amplifier, engineered to deliver clean, distortion-free bass even at high SPL levels. With a maximum output of 134dB, this model ensures your sound remains tight and powerful, whether you're performing in a packed venue or hosting an outdoor event. Clip LEDs on each input help safeguard against signal overload, while front- and rear-mounted limiter LEDs notify you when maximum volume is reached. This level of protection and power ensures the VS18 can handle the most demanding gigs without losing sonic fidelity or clarity.
Advanced DSP for Precise Room Tuning
The VS18 features advanced DSP controls to ensure optimal sound performance in a variety of setups. Its Sub Cut function works seamlessly with Harbinger's 2000 and 3000 series speakers, automatically setting the crossover frequency for smooth integration. For other full-range speaker systems, you can manually configure the crossover settings and tailor the response to your specific needs. The Time Aligning Delay control is particularly useful for addressing phase alignment issues, ensuring your bass remains tight and impactful. A transparent limiter keeps your low-end frequencies crisp, even during extended high-volume sessions.
Durable Design With Mobility Features
Weighing 86 lb., the VS18 is built for durability, but Harbinger has added mobility to the equation. Integrated caster wheels make transporting this subwoofer a hassle-free process, saving you the strain typically associated with moving heavy equipment. The rugged construction ensures it can withstand the rigors of frequent use while maintaining reliable performance. Whether you're setting up for a gig or breaking down after a show, the VS18's thoughtful design minimizes wear and tear, keeping your gear in peak condition.
Ideal for Gigging Bands and DJs
The Harbinger VARI VS18 powered subwoofer is the ultimate solution for gigging bands and DJs in need of powerful, distortion-free bass that anchors their sound system. With its advanced DSP controls, built-in limiter protections and caster wheels for easy transport, this subwoofer is tailored for professional use. Whether you're rocking a packed club or setting up for an outdoor event, the VS18 delivers the clarity, punch, and mobility you need to keep the crowd moving.

I have two of these subs along with two Var3415 series 15". It shakes the house. Use a few EQ and this sub will kick the way you want. I set this up to a 6,300 square ft partying after a wedding and everyone started yelling at one another because it was so loud and the subwoofers shook and vibrated through the whole room. This kicks cleaner, louder, and harder than my EV ELX 18" subs. This also outbeat my Mackie Thump118s. I will be buying 2 more.
Fantastic Subwoofer! Especially for the $$$

Can it really hit 35hz? I do a lot of really loud car audio so I need a lot of bass to be satisfied whats the recommended hz for rebassed music?
1) Not very well. 45Hz would be more like it. 2) Car audio and professional audio are not the same. Car audio is geared to extreme exaggerated lows and the components are designed for that. This type of unit is not.submitteda year ago
