Phone/Tablet/
Laptop
OUTPUT CONNECTIONS
• HEADPHONES - Connect a pair of headphones to the mixer’s 1/4”
headphone jack
• POWERED SPEAKERS - Connect the MAIN OUTS on the LV8 to a pair of
powered speakers via XLR cable
POWERING UP
• Power on any devices connected to input jacks
• Power on the LV8
• Power on the powered speakers connected to the LV8’s MAIN OUTS
SETTING LEVELS
• MICROPHONE - If you have connected a condenser microphone, press the 48V switch (the 48V LED will come on). If you have connected a dynamic
microphone, the 48V switch should be in the off position with the 48V LED off. If you experience too much “boominess” or bass in the microphone signal,
set the 80Hz HPF button to the on position. While speaking or singing into the connected microphone, slowly bring up the channel 1 GAIN control until only the
loudest input briefly triggers the channel 1 CLIP indicator LED. Reduce the GAIN control slightly from this level. Continue speaking or singing into the connected
microphone and slowly bring up the CH 1 level control to the 12 o’clock position, then slowly bring up the MAIN level control until a comfortable
listening level achieved.
CAUTION: Leave the 48V phantom power switch turned off if phantom power is not required. In order to prevent noise and possibly damaging connected
devices please follow these instructions:
• Leave 48V phantom power off when connecting a device that does not require it
• Do not plug or unplug any connections to CH1 of the LV7 when 48V phantom power is on
• Before turning on or off 48V phantom power make sure the CH1 and CH2 level controls are turned all the way down (to the left-most position)
• PHONE/TABLET/LAPTOP - Press play on the connected audio player and increase the player’s internal volume control to maximum level.
Slowly bring up the BLUETOOTH | CH 6|7 STEREO level control to the 12 o’clock position, then, slowly bring up the MAIN level control until a comfortable
listening level is achieved.
• GUITAR - Make sure the channel 3|4 GUITAR HI-Z switch is set to the on position. While strumming the guitar, slowly bring up the MAIN level control until a
comfortable listening level is achieved.
• POWERED SPEAKERS - To monitor through powered speakers, slowly bring up the MAIN level control until a comfortable listening level is achieved
• HEADPHONES - Since the headphone level control is independent from the MAIN level control, first ensure that the channel level controls are set so that ample
signal is feeding the main and headphone buses. The meters should show between +3 and +5 dB with the MAIN level control at the 12 o’clock position. When
this is accomplished, slowly bring up the headphone level control until a comfortable listening level is achieved.
BLUETOOTH® AND AUDIO INPUT
The mixer powers up with Bluetooth off. Press the PAIR button to initialize Bluetooth and activate pairing (the PAIR LED will flash, indicating that it is ready to pair).
The LV8 will automatically reconnect to the previous Bluetooth audio source if it is available, and will otherwise be available for Bluetooth pairing from a source
audio device such as a smartphone.
If connecting for the first time, look for and select “Harbinger Mixer” on your Bluetooth audio source device.
CHECK KNOBS AND SWITCHES
• Turn all white-capped level knobs to the minimum (full counter-clockwise) position.
These are the CH 1 - CH 5|6 GAIN and level controls and the MAIN level control.
• Turn all grey-capped and blue-capped knobs to the 12 o’clock position.
These are the PAN, BAL and EQ controls
• All buttons should be in the up position. The white bottom edge of the button will be clearly visible
and 48V and SOLO LEDs should be off.

APPENDIX
MICROPHONE INPUT (MIC)
This XLR combo connector will accept virtually any professional microphone.
It is designed for microphone and line level signals on either XLR
or ¼” cables.
Some microphones, mostly condenser mics, need phantom power to operate.
Switch on 48V phantom power. If you’re unsure if your mic needs phantom
power, check the instructions or the manufacturer’s website for information.
Phantom power should not hurt most microphones, except for very old or
damaged ribbon microphones.
1
For live microphone use (where the microphone signal is amplified through a
PA system) engaging the HPF (high-pass filter) is recommended for reducing
“boominess” and maintaining clarity in the microphone signal.
2
Use the microphone preamp’s gain control (explained below) to bring the
microphone up to a high enough level to use with the mixer.
1 DC POWER INPUT
Connect only the included power adapter to this input
2 POWER SWITCH
Switches power on/off to the mixer
LINE INPUT (LINE)
This ¼” input is designed for line-level signals. It accepts either balanced
(TRS) or unbalanced (TS) cables. The level of this input is also controlled
by the gain control, explained below.
Do not use both the microphone and line inputs on the same channel.
The mixer will distort and the noise level will go up.
BLUETOOTH® PAIRING, TROUBLESHOOTING
LED STATE AND BLUETOOTH STATUS

LV8 OWNER’S MANUAL
20394901 Harbinger LV8 Owners Manual_REV.indd 8-9

The line input is not designed to accept an instrument-level signal, such as
the output from an electric or acoustic guitar or bass. If you want to plug
your instrument into the mixer, we suggest a direct box (also called a DI
box). Plug your instrument into the direct box, then plug the output of the
direct box into the microphone input of the mixer.
Sidebar: “Why are there two volume controls?”
The Gain and Level controls work together to get the best performance out
of the mixer. A quiet signal may need more gain than a loud guitar amp
going into a sensitive microphone. Set the gain so that the level on each
channel is roughly the same, then use the Level controls to set the balance
that you want in your mix.
GAIN STAGING
Gain staging involves setting the serial amplification stages of an audio
signal in a way that achieves best signal to noise ratio. Improper gain
staging can result in more background noise, less clarity and lower sound
system efficiency. If your mixer is connected to a FOH amplifier or powered
speakers, you will need to first set the level of these for an appropriate
audience listening level. To set your FOH amplifier or powered speaker
level, connect a full-range line level music source to your mixer and set the
peak level on the channel meters somewhere between -6dB and 0dB. Set
your main output level to zero/unity and slowly bring up the amplifier or
powered speaker levels to a volume that makes sense for the venue. With
this main output level set, you can move on to setting levels for the individual
inputs. Start with gain and channel level controls at their minimum positions.
For microphone signals, while speaking or singing into the connected
microphone, slowly bring up the channel GAIN control until only the loudest
input briefly triggers the channel CLIP indicator LED. Reduce the GAIN
control slightly from this level. With the main output level control set to zero/
unity, continue speaking or singing into the connected microphone and
slowly bring up the channel LEVEL to a desired listening level. Follow this
process for any microphone signals. When setting relative levels between
channels, best practice is to reduce levels of signals that are too loud,
working subtractively.
GUITAR/BASS
Passive guitar or bass signals tend to have the best sound and sensitivity
when they are connected to a high-impedance input (similar to what you
would find on a guitar or bass amp). When connecting a passive guitar
or bass signal to CH 3|4, engaging the GUITAR HI-Z switch is
recommended. It is possible to connect 2 guitar signals to CH 3|4
simultaneously. When both inputs are used, the signals will be hardpanned left and right. If you wish to have both guitars panned to the
center so that they project from both speakers in PA setup, press the
MONO button next to the MAIN level control.
If connecting an active acoustic guitar signal to CH 1 or CH 2, engaging the
HPF is recommended for rolling-off “boominess”.
The high EQ control is a shelving EQ. What this means is that it boosts or
cuts from 10kHz and everything above that. Turn it up to bring out the breath
of a vocal or the high overtones of the cymbals. Turn it down to reduce finger
squeaks on a guitar or bass.
GAIN
Gain controls the level of the microphone or line level signal plugged into the
mixer. If the gain is set too low, the output signal will be noisy when you turn
it up at the level control. If gain is set too high, it will distort.
For best performance, set the gain while looking at the meters. Turn the Level
control so that it’s facing straight up. Then turn the gain up until you see
the first or second lights on the meters. Don’t set it too high – although you
might not hear distortion when playing by itself, when all of the channels are
playing at that level they may add together and distort the mixer.

The mid EQ is a peaking EQ, centered at 2.5kHz. This boosts or cuts
the high midrange of your signal. You might turn it up if your vocal
isn’t cutting through the mix, or turn it down if a percussion part is
too harsh.
This low EQ boosts or cuts everything from 100Hz or below. You might
bring it up for more bottom out of your kick or bass guitar, and turn it down
to reduce rumble from a vocal or wind instrument.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS
BALANCED
A 3-conductor (including shield), low-impedance connection. Balanced
cables are the preferred method for hum-free interconnection of a sound
system for their noise-rejection characteristics.
(Also see Unbalanced.)
CABLE DIAGRAMS
48V PHANTOM POWER
A voltage signal that runs through a microphone cable to power condenser
microphones. Harmless to microphones that don’t need it, except for very old
and/or damaged ribbon microphones.
SHELVING EQUALIZER CONTROL
Increase or decrease of all frequencies above or below a specific point.
(Compare to Peak Equalizer Control; see pages 8-9 for more information.)
BUSS
An output destination in a mixer. For example, the left and right main outputs
are called busses, because you can send a channel to one or both of them.
Also spelled Bus
CHANNEL
One of any number of signal paths in an audio circuit, such as input channel,
output channel, recording channel, left channel, right channel, etc.
TRS
Acronym for Tip-Ring-Sleeve — the three parts of a three-conductor (including
shield) audio plug. TRS phone plugs are often used for “balanced” mono
connections, or stereo “unbalanced” (head-phone) connections.
DECIBEL (DB)
A term representing the ratio between different audio levels. It can either
refer to the electrical signal running through a channel or the acoustic sound
level coming from a sound source.
TS
Acronym for Tip-Sleeve, the two parts of an unbalanced, two-conductor
(including shield) phone plug. TS connectors are some-times called mono or
unbalanced plugs or jacks.
EQUALIZATION
Electronic filters that adjust the level of certain frequencies. Used for tone
enhancement or to reduce extraneous sounds. Two types of EQ shapes are
Peak and Shelving, described below.
UNBALANCED
A two-conductor (including shield), high-impedance connection. These are
most commonly used for instrument connections and cable runs of less than
20 feet.
HI-Z (HIGH IMPEDANCE)
In the audio equipment realm, the term “Hi-Z” or “High-Impedance”
generally refers to inputs designed for passive guitar or bass signals (1MΩ
or thereabouts).
XLR
The three-pin connector universally used for balanced audio connections.
A balanced connection reduces outside noise and interference.
(See Balanced above.)
HPF (HIGH-PASS FILTER)
An electronic filter that passes signals with a frequency higher than a
specific cutoff frequency and attenuates signals with frequencies lower than
the cutoff frequency.
IMPEDANCE
Resistance in an electrical circuit measured in Ohms (Ω). Maintaining proper
impedance (between amplifier and speakers for example) is important to
prevent damage to the amp.
