HEARING DAMAGE AND PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO
EXCESSIVE SPLs
Harbinger VâRi Series powered loudspeakers 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.
Please note the recommended exposure limits in the accompanying table.
More information about these limits is available on the US government
Occupational Safety and Health (OSHA) website at: www.osha.gov.

QUICK START GUIDE
SETTING UP / HELPFUL TIPS
•Position the VâRi speaker in the desired location, and ensure the
speaker is stable.
VâRi Series speakers can be used as Main Speakers
or Monitor Speakers.
•Make sure the Power Switch is OFF.
•Make certain Input Gain 1 & 2, and Master Volume are down.
MAKING THE CONNECTIONS
•Plug connections to Input 1. Check that the Mic/Line switch
matches the source (Mic for microphones and instruments, Line for
mixers, keyboards, or instruments with active pickups).
•Plug connections to Input 2. Note that Input 2 is a Line Input, and
will not work well with a microphone.
•Plug connection to Aux In on mobile audio device or computer.
POWERING UP
•Turn on the power to any devices plugged into Input 1, Input 2, or
Aux Input.
Monitor
•Power ON the speaker.
•Slowly turn the Master Volume to 12 o’clock.
•Slowly turn up the volume of the mobile audio device to the
desired level.
•Turn Input 1 to the desired level.
• Turn Input 2 to the desired level.
CLIP LIGHT - LOCATED ON FRONT BEHIND GRILLE
• The SIG/CLIP LED will light up BLUE when the speaker is receiving
a signal. If it is distorting, the LED will turn RED and the MASTER
VOLUME should be turned down.
Main
FLOOR MONITOR APPLICATIONS
•Turn the Low EQ down slightly to reduce unwanted rumble and
low-frequency build-up. This will reduce feedback and make
vocals clearer.
LINKING MULTIPLE SPEAKERS
•If linking multiple speakers, plug the Line OUT connection of
Speaker 1 to the Line In connection of Speaker 2, and continue
the daisy chain to the last speaker. (This is common where multiple
monitor mixers share the same feed from the mixing board.)
•Turn the Power On in the order of the audio signal to prevent
unwanted “pops”. First On / Last Off.

– ON position = Front-mounted LED indicates when power is on.
5 SIG/CLIP LED
The SIG/CLIP LED will light up BLUE when the speaker is receiving
a signal. If it is distorting, the LED will turn RED and the MASTER
VOLUME should be turned down.
– S/L position = Front-mounted LED indicates when the limiter is
engaged. (If LED turns red in this position, the speaker is distorting.)
6 POWER LED
The Power LED indicates that the VâRi speaker’s AC power cord is
connected to an electrical outlet, and the Power Switch is turned on.
1 FRONT LED
The front-mounted LED has two functions. This switch toggles between
those functions.
2 MIC/LINE INPUT
The Mic/Line input features a balanced XLR jack, and balanced/
unbalanced TRS (tip/ring/sleeve) ¼” jack. Set the Mic/Line
button to match the input device to prevent distortion. Unbalanced
¼” instrument jacks may be used here (start with the button in Line
setting. If the gain is too low, turn the volume down, select Mic, and
slowly raise the volume). For best results, use only the XLR or ¼” jack,
not both.
3 LINE INPUT
The Line input features a balanced XLR jack, and an unbalanced RCA
jack. For best results, use only the XLR or RCA jack, not both.
4 2 BAND EQ
The LOW EQ will provide +/- 12dB of boost or cut below 100Hz.
Turn the LOW EQ up to add bass or warmth to the speaker. Turn
the LOW EQ down to remove rumble and noise when the program
material does not contain low frequencies, or when using the speaker
as a floor monitor.
T he HIGH EQ will provide +/- 12dB of boost or cut above 10kHz.
Turn the HIGH EQ up to add clarity and definition to vocals, acoustic instruments, or backing tracks. Turn the HIGH EQ down to reduce hiss
or feedback.
6
7 MASTER VOLUME
The Master Volume controls the overall volume of all 3 inputs.
8 LINE OUTPUT
The Line Output is used to link multiple speakers together using the
same audio signal. Connect the Line Output of the first speaker to the
Line Input of the next speaker in the signal path.
9 AUX INPUT
1/8 ” Stereo input for connecting mobile audio devices to VâRi 2000
Series speaker. Note the Aux Input feeds directly to the Master
Volume control, and does not have an input gain adjustment. For best
results, adjust the volume on the device to the desired level, then set
the Mic/Instrument, Line Inputs, and Master Volume level.
10 POWER SWITCH
Turn the VâRi speaker ON or OFF.
11 IEC POWER INPUT AND FUSE CARRIER
The IEC AC cable plug inserts into this jack. This is also where the main
fuse housing is located.
