From Day 1, harbinger had proven to do a great job on subs/speakers production. Don't get fooled by the new brand name These are great gears. 100% clarity. 100% bass, 100% affordable price tag. I guess by 2025 the harbinger would be battling with giants like JBL qsc and name the rest. I usually upgrade during black Friday's sales and had never regretted a penny.
Just bought 1 today VARI V4115 over EV ZLX-15BT. I spent at least an hour in Guitar Center store playing different songs between both speakers and finally decided to go with Harbinger. Cheers !
I just bought 2 of these from Guitar Center in the used scratch and ding section for $270 a piece with the 3 year warranty. With the warranty if it quits working I take it in and they just swap for another one. Anyway using the stereo link these sound amazing. With a mixer or an EQ these can be made to sound really rich for Jazz.
We have 2 of these at home for dj practice and they work pretty decent! Work Outside as well as we’ve traveled with them camping, fit in our Under bed storage in our trailer. Never have to crank them up all the way
this speakers with a good powerful sub ,its a perfect combination very good quality sound and very loud , and very light weight .I love this speakers !!!
Sounds great. I am interested in getting the 12's + the 18 sub. I'll probably only need the sub for larger venues or outside gigs. Thanks so much for the review.
I’m usually dj for family functions but I got some old hand me down speakers. Looking to invest in a new set and this video was very helpful. Thank you!
Suggestion for your reviews: Get a decent SPL meter, and run pink noise through the speaker you're testing at a set level, and measure the SPL at specific distances (1 meter, 5 meters, 10 meters) to give a sense of how loud the speaker you're testing can be. Just a volume test, won't give any qualitative indication of THD or anything like that, but is a bit of data about overall sound output.
Have you noticed pretty loud static/white noise on yours when nothing is playing or even connected (power only)? I just got two of these and BOTH of them have this same issue. I'm not sure if this is normal or what, and what are the chances that two speakers share the same issue? My older Vari 2215s made very little noise compared to these 2315s...
Just got a set delivered and they make the same noise! I have them plugged in to a power conditioner and all levels at 0 and the noise is there what sucks is that the higher i turn up the volume also the noise! Did you ever get this figured out? I'm super dessapointed
@@anthonyrosselli2484 i did i tried everything , i ended up returning them and got some EVs and they do not make any noise , horrible experience with harbinger products stay away awful quality
Yo Juan Carlos, Thank you for the in-depth breakdown and review. Your video answered a lot of questions. I'm an Analog Man in a Digital World and I need all the help I can get. Uncle Le😎
Hi! I read that these have a pretty loud boise floor and have an audible hiss when no active signal is being sent to the speakers. Have you found this to be true? Thanks!
THANK YOU!!!...I'm torn between Harbinger and EV.....Yes, Opposite price ranges......but they seem to be the Only brands with Aux at my Local store.....I've had Bluetooth Fail many times on equipment, and I need Aux for a backup.....I also feel it sounds much better.
As a matter of fact, I occasionally use my EV 30m’s (soon to present a review video on them) for bigger events like weddings etc. most definitely a bigger difference in price range and structure of the speaker but difference in wattage output, too. This is what I tell people though, at the end of the day don’t look at the price, rather, look at what these different speakers have that will allow you to do the job that you need them to do for what ever it may be you’re catering them for; band, DJ, stage monitors, etc. In my opinion, Harbinger has come a long way, so when these bad boys came out, I knew it was their time to shine and compete with other leading brands/competitors. Truthfully, if you ask me, for the price range of these specific speakers, sound quality, and build quality…it’s a win win!
Of course, with this whole pandemic experience going on, not much play time has gone down with using them. But in all honesty, aside from the brand, the quality of sound is still remarkable 👌 especially if you're one who takes care of their equipment!
My Mixer has the left and right XLR outputs. Should I plug the Two xlr ( left and right ) to a single 1/4 TRS? Or should I use the two XLR from mixer to dual 1/4 TRS ? Thanks for your help.
Lucky me = received one of these as a gift and really appreciate your review, especially the pairing, should I consider a second stereo companion without fuss as a "slave"! Thank You!
Absolutely! I think having a 2nd speaker will balance the sound out! Plus, you could use one for Bluetooth and the other as a stand alone! So many options to play with!
Hi!! Sorry for the late response! Yes! They are! There is a switch on the back where you can put on 'Vocal boost' and it will focus only on your voice; whether speaking or singing!

My main concern with these new sensationalized speakers at these prices is that I want to know the real power. The RMS. The peak power is okay to know. But I want to know how it's going to perform when you put the band into it. I'm tired of seeing "1000w" and the things can't even handle a 3 pc band without dropping out and limiting. I may try these. But from my experience, these lower priced, higher peak power speakers are great for DJ applications but terrible for live bands that need kick and clean headroom.
Interesting observation! I have yet to try them for band sound purposes, but as a DJ myself, I can say they do the job well for that reason. Overall, these are new speakers to me since I've had an older brand for a long while, but it all comes down to whichever speakers or set-up that meet your musical needs!!

I GOT THE 12" speaker, sounds very loud, i use it with my Line 6 Pod Hd, was concerned about the RMS because you can see 2000W PEAK but not how much RMS is it, well i think by my own experience, this ones are between 500W and 1000W, for me is very good because i only use it with my effect processor at my rehearsals or my gigs and sometime at my home with the bluetooth, but if you want power to handle more than one channel for big presentations i recomend to try before buy
I have 2 15s and use them only for monitors for a 9 pc band in a very loud stage setting and no complaints, they were actually very loud and clear, they impress me everytime, if you want more punch you need to add a sub and always remember, gain setting is crucial to keeping your equipment from clipping. I def agree with you on peak power marketing to attract the customer, but we all know it probably doesnt put out 2000watts.
Great video and review! 👍🏽 I have a few questions on it's description. Is the speaker rechargeable? If it is, how long to charge it? Is it Dual Audio? Is there any disruptive complications through the Bluetooth when you sync into the Master speaker and onto the 2nd speaker while playing? How long does it plays on a full battery?
So to make it known, this is a powered speaker; both are. Plug n Play! They do not run on a battery to play (although there are other speakers made by the same brand or others that do) but rather ran through a power cable. Dual audio? In terms of playing both speakers at once, you would use an XLR or Quarter Inch cable to play both at once. With that being said, if you play Bluetooth on the Master Speaker and chain link to the 2nd speaker, then there should be no problem with the audio UNLESS you try to Bluetooth BOTH speakers at once, then it probably won't work. Pro tip: On your Bluetooth setting, re-name your speaker so you know which is the main one of your choice. Hope this helped!
Just got mines and tested Bluetooth display amazing sound yet get home and it won’t stay Bluetooth keeps disconnecting 😒 taking it back to troubleshoot it!
@@rickzepeda5518 how good is the bass response? I sometimes like to cover some deathcore songs and sometimes there are bass drops, the cheap small bluetooth speaker i use does pretty ok when it comes to bass response, I just need something with a bit more punch
ปีที่แล้ว
How do you rate these speakers in 2023? It's been a while since you presented them. Are they trouble-free? Do you use them often?
great video bro. I just got one, I have a question, is the Bluetooth light on the back suppose to be blinking when the music is playing? on mine the light stays lit when I'm connected then starts to blink when I'm playing music
I just got these today. Would you suggest using the smart speaker with the master speaker connected to a mixer or having them individually connected to the mixer? Maybe it doesn't matter idk
So just to be sure are these Bluetooth? where you can play music from your phone to the speaker Because the JBL’s eon 615 also say Bluetooth but that’s just to pair speakers together via Bluetooth but not to send music from the phone to the speaker itself
Have the two 15s harbinger but im wanting to buy the 2400w 18 subwoofer my question is will the 18 work hooking it up off the second link 15 the same way?
Normally there is a little light on the front of the speaker on the bottom that usually indicates when the sound is getting too loud. There should be a button on the back to turn it on or off!
Hi friend! could you help me? At the top it has two holes to hang them, could you tell me what I can insert there? I have a couple of them and I need to hang them up !!
Hello! I personally don't hang mine since I use speaker stands or on the floor as monitors, but if I am not mistaken most people use what's called 'Safety Cable Wires' to hang them on the ceiling or wall so they don't fall. I am not certain how they hang it, but I know they use those cables! Hope that helped!
Man they are complete good speakers they are good you come out better run a dbx on them guarantee you won't get a good quality sound out of it I have a pair I'm going for for subs and four more tops the harbingers
I'm certain if you have all those instruments and mics plugged into a good mixer, balance them all out, set the settings accordingly on the speaker, it should definitely have no problem pumping out some good sound!!
Hello there!! Good question! Sooooo unfortunately, I don't think it is possible to pair both speakers with bluetooth with 1 device at the same time because then it will just switch back & forth. BUT, if you use 2 separate devices; 1 for each speaker's bluetooth, that could work!!
You actually can. Harbinger has what they like to call "smart stereo". Basically you connect to bluetooth on one of the speakers. Then with an xlr cable, grab the female end and put it in the "out", and on the other speaker, set it to "link in" and using the male end, insert it in the "link in", and it should work
I don't see why not? As long as your drum can connect with XLR or Quarter inch cables into the speaker. But I think you're better off using an amp meant for electronic drum kits. Unless you use it as a monitor.
1) Connecting your phone (or device) to the bluetooth you hold on to the right Silver button under channel 3 where is says 'On/Pair' then connect it to device. 2) Unfortunately, you can only connect one device per speaker via Bluetooth && not both at the same time because it reads one at a time. Suggestion: you could use 2 separate devices for each speaker to pair & they still will sound great with the volume levels you put them at!! Hope that helped!!
Depending on your subwoofer, as in model wise, you'd plug in the 'output' to 'input' from Sub to Speaker. Always start plugging in from subwoofer. But I'd recommend using the new Harbinger subwoofer due to it's high wattage of 2400 power.
Hi thanks for the video I also have two use them for Dj I use the guitar setting not the line is the bad for the speaker ? They sound great to let me know thanks
Hello! I strongly recommend using Line for XLR or Quarter inch cables for DJ'ing or any other form of Audio input. Guitar setting after awhile will probably make the sound feel off a bit later down the line. But just keep line for line and guitar for guitar 💯 just so you don't mess them up (in a surprising way) down the line.
Just ordered a pair of these and they make a terrible humming sound when on , nothing plugged in, with all the levels in the built in mixer at 0 connected to a power conditioner! Is this normal?? Also switch between voicings they pop super hard. I know it's not the wiring in my house because I have a set of Mackie thumps and they do not make the humming sound
Not trying to jump into conclusions, but perhaps you may have some defaulted ones? For future preferences, turn off the speaker when switching DSP. As for the humming, maybe you have it set on the Stereo, Mono, or Stereo Link switches.
@@jcomusicproductions they both set to mono, it sounds like a bad ground loop maybe the wiring in the amp is bad or something. What sucks is that the humming level goes up as i turn up. It's specially bad when the trebles are turned up
@@carlos97828 Yeah, I'd go to your local Guitar Center or music shop to see if they can open it up and look into it! But if you recently bought them, im sure you can replace them for a new pair!
@@jcomusicproductions Have you tried linking them both as stereo bluetooth without cables? Is that feature available? I can't make up my mind between these and the 4112's. These are 100 bucks cheaper though haha.
@@MarianoPerez Pro tip: Buy speakers for what you would need them for and of course, some that would last you! If you have Speaker A on Bluetooth and you connected a cable to mix out to Speaker 2, both plugged in of course, then it should be able to work when you have that linked switch
So unfortunately, I did not care to buy the Harbinger Subwoofer because it doesn't appeal to what I do, let alone, it is very heavy. I did make a video of another Subwoofer that works very well with these two speakers
To connect your phone, you turn on Bluetooth on the device (phone), then you press the button where it says pair on the Speaker. Wait til you see V2315 and then it connects. To connect a wireless mic, you take either an XLR or Quarter inch cable, plug the male end to the speaker on any channel, 1 or 2, and the female end into the Transmitter box that sends the signal to the microphone then turn the Transmitter on, your wireless mic. on, make sure they on the same channel, and then BAM! you're set to go.
Well, to start, I use the term Master & Slave to re-name the Bluetooth setting on your phone/device for music because you can only cast Bluetooth to one speaker at a time and not both at once. Next, in terms of distance, it all depends on how long you want it to be. For example, you can run however long of an XLR cable you need depending on what you use the speakers for. BUT, in terms of distance for Bluetooth, I have never been that far away from the speaker to say how far to go until it stops casting sound. Hope this helped.
Ok thanks for your response. Another concern is that u mentioned that designated master speaker volume controls the slave speaker simultaneously. If I choose to put the slave at the backyard and master inside of my house ( master set at 2 o clock). So u saying my secondary speaker( slave) volume nub will be redundant ( will not be able to reduce volume)?
Powered speakers should be run wide open and you control volume with your mixer. Trying to push them at less than full open on the speaker causes all kinds of issues. I run RCF gear.
@@brandonkeaton I would imagine so. I only use 2 speakers and haven't tried connecting them to any more than just 2. If you ask me, one speaker becomes the master speaker to control all volume to the chained speakers you connect them to.
To be honest, I couldn't tell you lol I have not had the opportunity to hear the other EV lineups of speakers. I would definitely recommend going to a music store and checking out the sound comparisons!
@@AztecaAguilar04 I've only heard the TS312 twice before, but they sound very well. I really can't say ones better than the other. Since this is a new line of Harbinger, it's nice to see something new and innovative. But truthfully, it really all comes down to your budget and what you plan to use either the TS312 (or TS315) or the Harbinger V2315 (or V2312s). Every speaker is unique in style and sound, but that's when you gotta discern which set would meet YOUR needs! 👌
The 15s have more bass than the 12s, and of course, the 12s have more bass than 10s, but it all comes down to your budget and plans to use them 👌 15s would be your best bet if you're a DJ or even in a band, and 12s seem more like a 'at home' or 'small party/gathering'. Again, it all comes down to what you're planning to use them for.
Interesting situation 🤔 I usually keep the Bluetooth on the speaker so that way, you also keep the Bluetooth on the speaker. Unfortunately, it's 1 speaker via Bluetooth, so both speakers with 1 Bluetooth device wouldn't work well.
When it comes to live instruments, assuming you have a subwoofer connected to the speaker; regardless, you'd have to set the DPS (the setting above the knobs) to 'Live' for instruments.
@@jcomusicproductions i don't have a subwoffer. I was planning on getting this set of 15s and play my bass guitar and be enough but I heard a subwoffer is need it . Then if that is the case should I just get a set of 12s and add the subwoffer or just play my combo bass amp separate ?
@@SuAmigoElilegal Ideally, it all comes down to where you're performing. Outdoor type of venue, 2x 15's and 1 sub woofer is enough! Smaller setting - room, indoor venue. Etc. the 2x 15's are definitely enough! The key is just Volume control from the bass and speaker. Since you have a bass guitar, it makes sense to jusy rock with the 15's solo! Remember, it all comes down to what/where you're playing.
To my knowledge, peak wattage is 2,000 with the max SPL being 127 DB. Ideally, if this speaker meets your needs for what your plans are with it, then go for it! But definitely keep other options of brands open!
Hello! No ma'am I have not had the opportunity to, HOWEVER, if you have a small mixer board, make sure you plug in the right chords to the right inputs etc. If you just want to use the speaker just to sing through it, then just plus an XLR or quarter inch jack cable into the right input of the speaker with the microphone! (Unless you have a wireless mic then you just plug the wire through the transmitter into the speaker)
I have. Piece of cake.-- 1. - get KaraFun App from the app store. 2. - get smart tv or chrome cast device 3. - connect audio OUT from tv to the 3.5mm AUX jack (channel 3) on speaker. 4. - connect mics to channels 1 & 2 on speaker. 5. - open Karafun app and cast to TV (instructions in app) 6. - balance sound levels accordingly. 4th-
@@El49boyyy I will say, they get scratched easily, nothing crazy, definitely look into covers! But as long as you take good care of them, don't blown them up past the volume limit and use them when needed, you'll be fine!
@@defaultsim8662 I use Proline, but im sure there are other good brands to use depending what other speakers you'll use. I'd check Guitar Center or Sweetwater

Great video and review! 👍🏽 I have a few questions on it's description.
Is the speaker rechargeable? If it is, how long to charge it?
Is it Dual Audio?
Is there any disruptive complications through the Bluetooth when you sync into the Master speaker and onto the 2nd speaker while playing?
How long does it plays on a full battery?
So to make it known, this is a powered speaker; both are. Plug n Play! They do not run on a battery to play (although there are other speakers made by the same brand or others that do) but rather ran through a power cable.
Dual audio? In terms of playing both speakers at once, you would use an XLR or Quarter Inch cable to play both at once. With that being said, if you play Bluetooth on the Master Speaker and chain link to the 2nd speaker, then there should be no problem with the audio UNLESS you try to Bluetooth BOTH speakers at once, then it probably won't work. Pro tip: On your Bluetooth setting, re-name your speaker so you know which is the main one of your choice.
Hope this helped!
@@jcomusicproductions Thank you so much!👍🏽
Sir this speaker is available here in Phillipines
Just got mines and tested Bluetooth display amazing sound yet get home and it won’t stay Bluetooth keeps disconnecting 😒 taking it back to troubleshoot it!
Make sure the Bluetooth on your device stays on and make sure the blue light is working when pairing
Sound good I'm going to buy the 12 version .
Bought the 12 and its awesome.
@@rickzepeda5518 how good is the bass response? I sometimes like to cover some deathcore songs and sometimes there are bass drops, the cheap small bluetooth speaker i use does pretty ok when it comes to bass response, I just need something with a bit more punch
How do you rate these speakers in 2023? It's been a while since you presented them. Are they trouble-free? Do you use them often?
They're still providing good sound and quality! So far no problems with them!
great video bro. I just got one, I have a question, is the Bluetooth light on the back suppose to be blinking when the music is playing? on mine the light stays lit when I'm connected then starts to blink when I'm playing music
Yess, so it indicates that music is indeed playing
I just got these today. Would you suggest using the smart speaker with the master speaker connected to a mixer or having them individually connected to the mixer? Maybe it doesn't matter idk
The 'Master Speaker' is the 1st speaker that you connect your main chords or plug ins to. Then you can daisy chain the 2nd speaker to it
So just to be sure are these Bluetooth? where you can play music from your phone to the speaker Because the JBL’s eon 615 also say Bluetooth but that’s just to pair speakers together via Bluetooth but not to send music from the phone to the speaker itself
Yes, both speakers are Bluetooth compatible with any device you could plug them with. One device per speaker.
Have the two 15s harbinger but im wanting to buy the 2400w 18 subwoofer my question is will the 18 work hooking it up off the second link 15 the same way?
If it’s the same brand of course it should work with plugging the cables in the same way
He'll yeah ....just bought a pair at guitar center.
I have the powered 18 it hammers pretty good for the 500 I spent
Is there anyway to tell when it peaks? Like it's time to lower the base or volume before they pop?
Normally there is a little light on the front of the speaker on the bottom that usually indicates when the sound is getting too loud. There should be a button on the back to turn it on or off!
Hi friend! could you help me? At the top it has two holes to hang them, could you tell me what I can insert there? I have a couple of them and I need to hang them up !!
Hello! I personally don't hang mine since I use speaker stands or on the floor as monitors, but if I am not mistaken most people use what's called 'Safety Cable Wires' to hang them on the ceiling or wall so they don't fall. I am not certain how they hang it, but I know they use those cables! Hope that helped!
Man they are complete good speakers they are good you come out better run a dbx on them guarantee you won't get a good quality sound out of it I have a pair I'm going for for subs and four more tops the harbingers
Anyone used this with a band yet? Say, guitar keyboard and 2 microphones?
I'm certain if you have all those instruments and mics plugged into a good mixer, balance them all out, set the settings accordingly on the speaker, it should definitely have no problem pumping out some good sound!!
My singer sings thrue it and bass and my guitar it sounds like a studio outside!!!!! Best 300 bucks i spent!!!!
How do U pair both Speakers 2gether 4 Bluetooth? Help please!
Hello there!! Good question! Sooooo unfortunately, I don't think it is possible to pair both speakers with bluetooth with 1 device at the same time because then it will just switch back & forth. BUT, if you use 2 separate devices; 1 for each speaker's bluetooth, that could work!!
@@jcomusicproductions can I pair 1 Speaker thru Bluetooth, & the other connect with either AUX or XLR to play?
You actually can. Harbinger has what they like to call "smart stereo". Basically you connect to bluetooth on one of the speakers. Then with an xlr cable, grab the female end and put it in the "out", and on the other speaker, set it to "link in" and using the male end, insert it in the "link in", and it should work
Can these be used with a electronic drum set?
I don't see why not? As long as your drum can connect with XLR or Quarter inch cables into the speaker. But I think you're better off using an amp meant for electronic drum kits. Unless you use it as a monitor.
I got a nice Simmons drum amp for my electric drum kit and it sucks , in looking into this system now
Love mine
Hey juan how do i connect my 2 v2315 bluetooth ?
1) Connecting your phone (or device) to the bluetooth you hold on to the right Silver button under channel 3 where is says 'On/Pair' then connect it to device.
2) Unfortunately, you can only connect one device per speaker via Bluetooth && not both at the same time because it reads one at a time.
Suggestion: you could use 2 separate devices for each speaker to pair & they still will sound great with the volume levels you put them at!! Hope that helped!!
You need a mixer to connect both
I have a question, how can you plug the speaker to a subwoofer?
Depending on your subwoofer, as in model wise, you'd plug in the 'output' to 'input' from Sub to Speaker. Always start plugging in from subwoofer. But I'd recommend using the new Harbinger subwoofer due to it's high wattage of 2400 power.
Where did you purchase your 15s
Guitar center
Hi thanks for the video I also have two use them for Dj I use the guitar setting not the line is the bad for the speaker ?
They sound great to let me know thanks
Hello! I strongly recommend using Line for XLR or Quarter inch cables for DJ'ing or any other form of Audio input. Guitar setting after awhile will probably make the sound feel off a bit later down the line. But just keep line for line and guitar for guitar 💯 just so you don't mess them up (in a surprising way) down the line.
Thanks
Just ordered a pair of these and they make a terrible humming sound when on , nothing plugged in, with all the levels in the built in mixer at 0 connected to a power conditioner! Is this normal?? Also switch between voicings they pop super hard. I know it's not the wiring in my house because I have a set of Mackie thumps and they do not make the humming sound
Not trying to jump into conclusions, but perhaps you may have some defaulted ones? For future preferences, turn off the speaker when switching DSP. As for the humming, maybe you have it set on the Stereo, Mono, or Stereo Link switches.
@@jcomusicproductions they both set to mono, it sounds like a bad ground loop maybe the wiring in the amp is bad or something. What sucks is that the humming level goes up as i turn up. It's specially bad when the trebles are turned up
@@carlos97828 Yeah, I'd go to your local Guitar Center or music shop to see if they can open it up and look into it! But if you recently bought them, im sure you can replace them for a new pair!
@@jcomusicproductions yeah that probably what I'll end up doing kind of a bummer to do. Thanks for replying so fast !
@@carlos97828 No problem! Stay rockin' 😎🤘
How are you still liking these? How many people party do you think these can accommodate without pushing the speakers too hard?
They still work great 👍 because they're 15s and are a little bigger in size with the cabinet built in, id say about 200+
@@jcomusicproductions I found the 12's version for half the price, so I might just go for that. I just need them for the garage. Thanks.
@@MarianoPerez 12s and/or 15s pack a punch. If it's for the garage, 1 should be fine! They recently came out with an 8! Smaller but mighty
@@jcomusicproductions Have you tried linking them both as stereo bluetooth without cables? Is that feature available? I can't make up my mind between these and the 4112's. These are 100 bucks cheaper though haha.
@@MarianoPerez Pro tip: Buy speakers for what you would need them for and of course, some that would last you!
If you have Speaker A on Bluetooth and you connected a cable to mix out to Speaker 2, both plugged in of course, then it should be able to work when you have that linked switch
After you get 2 subs can you make another video?
So unfortunately, I did not care to buy the Harbinger Subwoofer because it doesn't appeal to what I do, let alone, it is very heavy. I did make a video of another Subwoofer that works very well with these two speakers
How do u connect your phone for music and a wireless mic?
To connect your phone, you turn on Bluetooth on the device (phone), then you press the button where it says pair on the Speaker. Wait til you see V2315 and then it connects.
To connect a wireless mic, you take either an XLR or Quarter inch cable, plug the male end to the speaker on any channel, 1 or 2, and the female end into the Transmitter box that sends the signal to the microphone then turn the Transmitter on, your wireless mic. on, make sure they on the same channel, and then BAM! you're set to go.
What is the limit distance apart between the master speaker and the slave speaker for both to communicate between each other?
Well, to start, I use the term Master & Slave to re-name the Bluetooth setting on your phone/device for music because you can only cast Bluetooth to one speaker at a time and not both at once. Next, in terms of distance, it all depends on how long you want it to be. For example, you can run however long of an XLR cable you need depending on what you use the speakers for. BUT, in terms of distance for Bluetooth, I have never been that far away from the speaker to say how far to go until it stops casting sound. Hope this helped.
Ok thanks for your response. Another concern is that u mentioned that designated master speaker volume controls the slave speaker simultaneously. If I choose to put the slave at the backyard and master inside of my house ( master set at 2 o clock). So u saying my secondary speaker( slave) volume nub will be redundant ( will not be able to reduce volume)?
@@oluwabiyi30 If you have it set to Stereo Master or Link in, it will determine the volume setting from the Master Speaker.
Thanks.
Is there anyway I can connect this speaker to a webso LG TV?
I'm sure if you use an auxiliary cable to connect it too or some form of an adapter with XLR or quarter inch jack to input in the speaker
@@jcomusicproductions ty
Can I use a mixing board wit these speakers?
I'm sure you can!
Powered speakers should be run wide open and you control volume with your mixer. Trying to push them at less than full open on the speaker causes all kinds of issues. I run RCF gear.
Wide open? What do you mean?
They are the bomb brothas.. BUT NEVER PLUG IN @ HIGH VOLUME ON BOTH OR EITHER DEVICES! CAPICH!!! TURN THEM BOTH DOWN ALWAYS........
If you connect them together, does it add 2 more XLR inputs for a total of 4?
You just daisy chain XLR cables to each speaker
@@jcomusicproductions - but does it add the additional channels of each speaker chained to???
@@brandonkeaton I would imagine so. I only use 2 speakers and haven't tried connecting them to any more than just 2. If you ask me, one speaker becomes the master speaker to control all volume to the chained speakers you connect them to.
Too bad they didn't add at least a 2 band eq for channels 1 & 2
How do these compare to the EV ZLX series?
To be honest, I couldn't tell you lol I have not had the opportunity to hear the other EV lineups of speakers. I would definitely recommend going to a music store and checking out the sound comparisons!
so no ones gunna mention the fact he said he "the master and the other could be the slave"??? XD
what kind of poles did you use?
Proline speaker stands!
Harbinger V2315 or ALTO TS312??
This is the Harbinger V2315
I have altos and they sound a lot better
@@jcomusicproductions Meant which one is better
@@AztecaAguilar04 I've only heard the TS312 twice before, but they sound very well. I really can't say ones better than the other. Since this is a new line of Harbinger, it's nice to see something new and innovative. But truthfully, it really all comes down to your budget and what you plan to use either the TS312 (or TS315) or the Harbinger V2315 (or V2312s). Every speaker is unique in style and sound, but that's when you gotta discern which set would meet YOUR needs! 👌
Harbinger in my case..
Is there a big difference from 12s to 15 they are both 2000 watts
The 15s have more bass than the 12s, and of course, the 12s have more bass than 10s, but it all comes down to your budget and plans to use them 👌 15s would be your best bet if you're a DJ or even in a band, and 12s seem more like a 'at home' or 'small party/gathering'. Again, it all comes down to what you're planning to use them for.
Thank you I bought the 12, 199@ GC. I will used it for indoor karaoke.thanks for the quick reply.
Great speaker but after playing a song via bluetooth I have to sync it again, so everytime a song stops playing I have to sync my cellphone again..
Interesting situation 🤔 I usually keep the Bluetooth on the speaker so that way, you also keep the Bluetooth on the speaker. Unfortunately, it's 1 speaker via Bluetooth, so both speakers with 1 Bluetooth device wouldn't work well.
Thanks a lot for the quick response. I only have 1 speaker. Im gonna call the place I bought it.
Does it have a rechargeable battery???
Nope! Just runs through a power cable for electricity!
How will this sound for live band and use my bass guitar
When it comes to live instruments, assuming you have a subwoofer connected to the speaker; regardless, you'd have to set the DPS (the setting above the knobs) to 'Live' for instruments.
@@jcomusicproductions i don't have a subwoffer. I was planning on getting this set of 15s and play my bass guitar and be enough but I heard a subwoffer is need it . Then if that is the case should I just get a set of 12s and add the subwoffer or just play my combo bass amp separate ?
@@SuAmigoElilegal Ideally, it all comes down to where you're performing. Outdoor type of venue, 2x 15's and 1 sub woofer is enough! Smaller setting - room, indoor venue. Etc. the 2x 15's are definitely enough! The key is just Volume control from the bass and speaker. Since you have a bass guitar, it makes sense to jusy rock with the 15's solo! Remember, it all comes down to what/where you're playing.
@@jcomusicproductions makes sense i will rather get the 15s and not been satisfied with the 12s 👍
@@SuAmigoElilegal Yes! And remember, long term wise, they will come in handy for other musical things 😀
How many watt RMS is has?
To my knowledge, peak wattage is 2,000 with the max SPL being 127 DB. Ideally, if this speaker meets your needs for what your plans are with it, then go for it! But definitely keep other options of brands open!
Have you ever did karaoke with this speaker???? We can’t figure it out!
Hello! No ma'am I have not had the opportunity to, HOWEVER, if you have a small mixer board, make sure you plug in the right chords to the right inputs etc.
If you just want to use the speaker just to sing through it, then just plus an XLR or quarter inch jack cable into the right input of the speaker with the microphone! (Unless you have a wireless mic then you just plug the wire through the transmitter into the speaker)
I have. Piece of cake.--
1. - get KaraFun App from the app store.
2. - get smart tv or chrome cast device
3. - connect audio OUT from tv to the 3.5mm AUX jack (channel 3) on speaker.
4. - connect mics to channels 1 & 2 on speaker.
5. - open Karafun app and cast to TV (instructions in app)
6. - balance sound levels accordingly.
4th-
can you connect a mic on this?
Yes you can! Right under the 2 knobs on the left side of the speaker either XLR or a jack input!
Are these good ? Have you had problems with them ? Are they loud ? Help
For what they're worth, they're pretty good loud speakers!! Definitely recommend the 15's!
TheJuanCarlos thank you I was hearing rumors that they get damage fast
@@El49boyyy I will say, they get scratched easily, nothing crazy, definitely look into covers! But as long as you take good care of them, don't blown them up past the volume limit and use them when needed, you'll be fine!

@@El49boyyy Between half way and 3 o clock mark is good👍

Absolutely!!💯
Are they not bluetooth?
Yes, they are
