S12 QUICK START GUIDE
SETTING UP / HELPFUL TIPS
• Position the S12 in the desired location, and ensure the speaker is stable.
• Make sure the Power Switch is off.
• Make certain VOLUME knob is turned down.
SIGNAL/LIMIT/LEVEL
• The SIGNAL LED will light green when input audio is detected.
• If the limiter is triggered, the LIMIT LED will turn RED, indicating the
VOLUME knob should be turned down to avoid distorted sound.
• If the LIMIT LED comes on when the VOLUME knob is already at a low
level, try setting the LEVEL switch to +4, and see information regarding
LEVEL switch on facing page.
MAKING THE CONNECTIONS
• Plug connections to Input 1 and 2 from Outputs of signal source.
• See illustrations of common setups below.
• See facing page information regarding Level switch.
PHASE/TIME ALIGNING DELAY
• Set up your system, and play audio through the system to evaluate the
low frequency response.
• Try PHASE set to 0, then 180, and leave the switch on the setting that
provides more low frequency impact.
• Turn TIME ALIGNING DELAY knob until the maximum sub bass is heard.
CROSSOVER FREQUENCY
• Turn the knob to select a frequency for the crossover.
• Recommended settings for common sizes of speakers are indicated.
PHASE/LEVEL
• For initial use, Phase should be set to 0.
• For initial use, Level should be set to -10.
LINKING MULTIPLE SUBWOOFERS
• If linking multiple subwoofers, plug the OUTPUT connection(s) of the first
subwoofer to the INPUT connection(s) of second subwoofer, and continue
the daisy chain to the next speaker.
• Switch Output Crossover Off.
• Turn the Power On in the order of the audio signal to prevent unwanted
“pops”. First On / Last Off.

6 TIME ALIGNING DELAY
After you’ve set up your system including the S12 subwoofer and your fullrange speakers, and are playing audio through the system to evaluate the
low frequency response, set the PHASE switch for maximum low frequency
impact, and then turn this knob until maximum sub bass is heard.
2 OUTPUTS 1 AND 2
These outputs feed through the signal(s) received from the input(s). If
the crossover is not set to Full-Range Output, the output signal(s) will
be altered by the crossover, which removes audio below the selected
frequency, to allow your speakers that are fed by the sub to focus all their
energy and fidelity on reproducing signals above the selected frequency.
7 VOLUME KNOB
Sets volume of internal speaker.
8 LEDS
- POWER: this LED and front LED will light white when power is on.
- SIGNAL: this LED lights green when audio input is detected.
- LIMIT: this LED and front LED light red when limiter is activated due
to very high level audio input, indicating the VOLUME knob should be
turned down to avoid distorted sound. If the LIMIT LED comes on when
the VOLUME knob is already at a low level, try setting the LEVEL switch
to +4.
3 LEVEL SWITCH
Set this switch to match the output level of your source:
- Use +4 when your source operates at +4dBu
- Use -10 when your source operates at -10dBV
If you notice that the rear panel LIMIT LED or front panel LED is easily or
frequently lit red, even when you have the LEVEL knob turned to a low
setting, set this switch to +4 rather than -10.
9 IEC POWER INPUT
Plug in the IEC AC power cable here.
4 CROSSOVER
This knob controls the high precision DSP crossover. Select a value
between 70 and 150Hz to have the audio below the selected frequency
filtered out of the output signals. Select Full-Range Output to disable the
crossover, and output the same full range audio received at the outputs.
The audio sent to the internal power amp and speaker will also be filtered,
so the subwoofer’s speaker produces only audio below the crossover
frequency. When Full-Range Output is chosen, the subwoofer’s speaker
limits its top frequency range to 150Hz.
5 PHASE
This switch lets you “flip” (reverse) the phase on the power amp 180
degrees when needed to match the polarity of speakers that may operate
with opposite polarity to the V2318S, or to account for a phase difference
due to the physical distance between the sub and the full range speakers
it is operating with. When set to 0, phase is unaffected. When set to 180,
the phase of the power amp and internal speaker will be reversed. Once
you get your S12 operating as part of your full setup with your full-range
speakers, try both settings of this switch, and leave the switch on the
setting that provides the most low frequency impact.
10 VOLTAGE SELECTOR
Configures S12 for your territory’s voltage. 100-120V is the standard in
the USA.
11 FUSE CARRIER
If the speaker will not power on and you suspect its fuse may have blown,
turn off the power switch, and open the fuse compartment using a small
flat blade screwdriver. If metal strip in fuse is broken, replace with T6.3AL
250V fuse for 100-120 volt operation, or T3.15AL 250V for 220-240 volt
operation.
12 POWER SWITCH
Turns the VARI subwoofer on or off.

Harbinger powered loudspeakers and subwoofers are capable of producing
extremely loud volume levels that can cause permanent hearing damage
to performers, production crews or the audience. Hearing protection is
recommended during long-term exposure to high SPLs (sound pressure levels).

Remember, if it hurts, it is definitely too loud! Long term exposure to high SPLs
first causes temporary threshold shifts; limiting your ability to hear the actual
loudness and exercise good judgment. Repeated long term exposure to high
SPLs will cause permanent hearing loss.
