- Floor Monitor: for enhanced clarity and reduced feedback potential for floor monitors, also may be helpful to avoid excessive bass from wall mounted speakers
- ROUTING
- Normal (Mono): This speaker will output mono audio
- Stereo Master: This speaker will operate as the master (left) speaker of a Smart Stereo pair. Use a mic cable to connect this speaker’s LINK OUT to the INPUT 1 jack of a second speaker of the same type. All inputs should be connected to the first master speaker, which will also set the volume and tone of both speakers.
- Link In: Use this setting for the second speaker of a Smart Stereo pair. The audio from INPUT 1 will be routed directly to the power amp and speaker, with all other inputs and controls being ignored. This can also be used to accept mono audio from a previous speaker, with that previous speaker determining volume and tone.
- OUTPUT JACKOutputs mono audio that is unaffected by TREBLE, BASS, and Normal/Floor Monitor tuning
- LINK OUT JACK
- When ROUTING is set to Smart Stereo, this jack outputs right only audio to feed a second (right) speaker
- When ROUTING is set to Normal (Mono), this jack outputs mono audio to feed a second speaker
- Switches the power on and off
- 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 T4AL 250V fuse (for 100-120 volt use), or T2AL/250V fuse (for 220-240 volt use).
- Connect power cable here.
- Configures speaker for your territory’s voltage. 100-120V is the standard in the USA
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.
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.
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.
POWERING UP
- Turn on the power to any devices plugged into Input 1 or Input 2.
- Power ON the S12.
- Slowly turn the VOLUME knob to 12 o’clock.
- Slowly turn up the source volume to the desired level.
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.
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.
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.

Feed-Through from Main Speakers
Feeding Harbinger Smart Stereo Speakers Such as V2308 or V2310
S12 BACK PANEL
- INPUTS 1 AND 2These combo inputs are designed for either TRS or XLR balanced plugs at line level, either from a mixer or another speaker. The source can be either mono or stereo.
- OUTPUTS 1 AND 2These 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) willbe 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.
- LEVEL SWITCHSet 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 -10dBVIf 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.
- CROSSOVERThis 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.
- PHASEThis 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.
- TIME ALIGNING DELAYAfter you’ve set up your system including the S12 subwoofer and your full-range 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.
- VOLUME KNOBSets volume of internal speaker.
- 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 dueto 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.
- IEC POWER INPUTPlug in the IEC AC power cable here.
- VOLTAGE SELECTORConfigures S12 for your territory’s voltage. 100-120V is the standard in the USA.
- FUSE CARRIERIf 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.
- POWER SWITCHTurns the VARI subwoofer on or off.
