I like the combination of 2. Alto ts412 with the affordable but excellent quality Harbinger S12 subwoofer. All around great sound and under $1,200 for 2 speakers, 2 stands one subwoofer and all cables needed. Decision based on watching your excellent tutorials
@@av7809 Altos cost 100 hundred dollars more per speakers 🔊 but are rated much higher than Harbinger. However their 12" speakers and subwoofer are very good especially the new Bluetooth Vari lineup and unless you're playing for crowds of over 60 people the subwoofer does an excellent job and ties in with the Altos just fine at $120 less than the Altos that's why I bought their subwoofer. The Harbinger veri V2312 were not as clear outside and didn't carry the full sound the Altos do. That's why I got the Altos TS412 PA speakers. I thought the Harbinger Subwoofer was enough for my needs and saved me a bit of money. The Vari 2312 is still a great buy for the money and probably the best option in its price range 😀

I always thought you run your subs from aux send from desk and your 2 main speakers out of mains? That way u have individual volume control over mains n subs, setting them.up like u have means when u turn up the mains the sub volume raises also???? I'm so confused
Subs will take on all the low frequencies it is rated for, It will throw all other frequencies not in its range to the mains. The mains will then take the full range frequencies through the amp one ( class D) and the Higher frequencies through Amp two. (A/B ) Built in , powered speakers.
I've seen other people go from the Audio Mixer Main left and Right and go into the regular PA speaker, and then out to the subwoofer. Essentially, opposite of what you did. Do you recommend that or why do you go from the outs to the subwoofer and then the PA speakers? Anyone can answer.
I have the sane question as well. And I think I have the answer for that. 1. In this video the subwoofer have crossover and the speaker doesn't? 2. The reason some will go to speaker first because there speaker have crossover but their sub don't. Like mine I just bought 2 alto ts15s and found out they don't have crossover but my ev zlx 12 p speakers have crossover.
Great video and thanks for the guidance. 2 part question: when running 2 subs with 2 pa speakers using a mixer and a DJ table, still run everything from the mixer first to the subs then to the PA? 2: Could you please do a video on LPF and volume subwoofer settings when paired with PA for high quality output? Thanks in advance
So if I have 2 subwoofers do I just take an xlr from the mixer to an in at the sub and send an out to the in of the speaker and repeat the same with the other space at the mixer for the other sub and top?
Amazing tutorial. I have a question. I want to use only one subwoofer and one top. How can I make it possible to have a stereo sound 😊from only these speakers…I was thinking of coming out of the mixer (L&R) into the subwoofer like usual. Then, if I only take a (Left) out from the sub, then into the one top, can I still get both sounds of the (Left & Right)?

@@SuAmigoElilegal Good question. To be clear, your coming from the mixer, to your one powered sub, then out of the sub to a pair top FOH powered speakers, then out of that L-R pair into another pair of powered speakers? I'm not the expert, but it doesn't seem that the powered sub will be overworked since it's pulling the frequencies it needs, and sending the other frequencies to the 4 FOH top speakers. I'm very new to powered speakers having just bought my first pair last week. (I bought a pair of Yamaha DZR12 2000W 12 inch Powered Speakers), so I'm coming out of my 18" JBL Powered sub into these new Yamaha's and experimenting with different settings.
My sub only has one input/output (EV ELX 18). If my mains left and right are stereo, do I lose any low frequencies meant for the opposite channel? Or are the low frequencies in mono so both L and R get the same sound?

I had asked 2 different people at guitar center and I got 2 different answers. Does it really matter if I come out R/L out my mixer to my sub 1st OR to my top powered PA THEN into my sub? The other night I went from top to bottom sub and it sounded alright to me but IDK for technical reasons.

Okay so I need help I have the speaker and I have the 12 in sub I have one cable but I’ve plugged it in so many different ways and it won’t play bass I’m completely lost
The Low Pass Filter (LPF) is a crossover filter network that allows frequencies below the set-point to pass onto the subwoofer driver Lower the tighter the sound.
Do you always need to have a subwoofer connected to mixer then from subwoofer to speaker? Is it OK to connect mixer to speaker directly without subwoofer?
You probably have got the answer already but just in case - yes of course you can connect without a sub woofer just connecting speaker's to left and right main outs on your amp or mixer!

Hello, I have the Harbinger M120 PA system (purchased circa 2016-2017 but still works really well). I’m thinking of buying the Harbinger S12 sub to pair with this system. Do you know how I’d connect the sub to the amplifier for the PA system? Also, is there a way to divert some of the bass frequency from the PA speakers to the subwoofer?
The video shows one answer which will work in general for the first question. The difference would not to use XLR cables, because the outputs on the mixer use a different cable. The subwoofer is able to use those on the input side. The tricky part is the connection from the subwoofer to the speakers. You need a special cable for that, as the speakers lack XLR connections, too. But those are available. Your second question is not addressed very extensively in the video, but the answer there is the crossover dial on the subwoofer. This dial sets exactly what you are asking for. It works out the exact point where the subwoofer hands over ("crosses over") to the speakers. What the best setting for your liking is, you have to determine by experimenting for yourself.
Hoping someone could share some advice. I have 2x PA speakers with 15inch drivers. There is no model or any numbers on the cabinets but the drivers are 15inch eminence drivers. I have an old kenwood amp that as an output rating of 8-16 ohm. I think the drivers are 4ohm i will have to test them with a multi metre when i can but my main question. My amp says " lower impedance capability" on the front. Would that mean i could use the amp on these PA speakers.
Hey, My father recently got 2 Subwoofers and 2 Speakers just like from the Video except I've been having trouble with connecting 2 speakers and 2 Subwoofers to Mixer. I also seemed to have trouble on how to setup the Subwoofer to make sound. It's my first time with these Subwoofers (The Microphone hasn't arrive yet so, I'll just try to test it when it arrives)
You can connect the main output (L) on your mixer to your (L) subwoofer input then connect the output on that subwoofer to your (L) your speaker input line. Do the same for the subwoofer and speaker side (R).
Easy just hook the new speaker to the output of the previous one, to the input of the 2 new speakers you just add. So again plug your cables in the speakers the one hooked to the subwoofer on the outputs and plug the other end to the cables on the inputs of the new speakers you just add.
@@sami011212 that won't solve my problem of delaying the speakers, which I solved by using a DriveRack VENU360. Certainly more of a pain and more expensive, but that is sometimes the way to solve the issue
Oh sorry I was thinking that the speakers are close to each other, because I do that in all my events, but in my case there is only 12 foot between the two speakers.

@@ChristRecords2O16 Update..., That worked! Of course, by splitting them, I was not able to utilize the internal crossover and EQ settings that are built into the sub, so I had to use an external crossover and separate EQ, but it works! Thanks.
That is normal hissing is the amp on PA systems you have 2 amps pre-amp & power Amp, the power amp is running at a fixed level 100%, The Pre-amp is variable, turn up the pre-amp Gain (volume) Makes the speaker louder. the hiss never gets louder. Home audio system work opposite Pre-amp is fixed, (Volume) Gain is on the Power-amp side. no volume no hissing, 50% vol 50% of the Hissing but the music is so loud you cant hear it.

Thanks for video man! Please tell me is the one cable from the sub to mixer enough if you want to connect just one top from the sub , using one main output. I try that and it looks it is just fine. Or i have to connect sub with both mains from the mixer , like u did?
I just watched another video and was told that it's best to run the sub off of the monitor or aux on my board rather than connecting directly to the speakers. I don't use monitors so i could run a line from the sub to the monitor out on the board. Do you think that's a better idea?

I had asked 2 different people at guitar center and I got 2 different answers. Does it really matter if I come out R/L out my mixer to my sub 1st OR to my top powered PA THEN into my sub? The other night I went from top to bottom sub and it sounded alright to me but IDK for technical reasons.
Any mixer would work that has the appropriate plug in ports?
Youre a gentleman and a scholar thank you for sharing that truly appreciated!

What does LPF stand for on my powered subwoofer? It starts at 40hz to 180hz and so how do I adjust that frequency?
Thanks
The Low Pass Filter (LPF) is a crossover filter network that allows frequencies below the set-point to pass onto the subwoofer driver
Lower the tighter the sound.
I have a pair of mls 900 were do I hook a powerd monitor at
Can you plug in subwoofer directly to pa speakers? Without the need for mixer?
Yes you Can
Do you always need to have a subwoofer connected to mixer then from subwoofer to speaker? Is it OK to connect mixer to speaker directly without subwoofer?
You probably have got the answer already but just in case - yes of course you can connect without a sub woofer just connecting speaker's to left and right main outs on your amp or mixer!
I have a BEHRINGER Xenyx x2222usb... I have two 15in powered speakers running out of the MAIN OUTPUTS L and R of the mixer... Then I have one 15in powered SUB running out the SUB OUTPUTS 1 and 2, I have each cable running out of the mixer to both the sub INPUTS on the sub... Is this ok? I wanted to do it like this so I can control the sub separately... Im just not sure if I have it correct...
Does this way still run stereo?
Hello, I have a Mackie ProFX 12v2, 1- Bose Sub1 and 2-Bose S1 pros which I inherited. Please give the proper way to connect my system. Would like to connect my IPhone for music, 1 Shure wireless mic and how to separate my Bose Sub1 with its own control. Thanks in advance!
What mode are the tops set at? Club, Standard, Slave ?
Live for sure
In case of two sub and two tops, how can i set a proper connection?
Hello, I have the Harbinger M120 PA system (purchased circa 2016-2017 but still works really well). I’m thinking of buying the Harbinger S12 sub to pair with this system.
Do you know how I’d connect the sub to the amplifier for the PA system? Also, is there a way to divert some of the bass frequency from the PA speakers to the subwoofer?
The video shows one answer which will work in general for the first question. The difference would not to use XLR cables, because the outputs on the mixer use a different cable. The subwoofer is able to use those on the input side. The tricky part is the connection from the subwoofer to the speakers. You need a special cable for that, as the speakers lack XLR connections, too. But those are available.
Your second question is not addressed very extensively in the video, but the answer there is the crossover dial on the subwoofer. This dial sets exactly what you are asking for. It works out the exact point where the subwoofer hands over ("crosses over") to the speakers. What the best setting for your liking is, you have to determine by experimenting for yourself.
Hoping someone could share some advice. I have 2x PA speakers with 15inch drivers. There is no model or any numbers on the cabinets but the drivers are 15inch eminence drivers.
I have an old kenwood amp that as an output rating of 8-16 ohm. I think the drivers are 4ohm i will have to test them with a multi metre when i can but my main question.
My amp says " lower impedance capability" on the front. Would that mean i could use the amp on these PA speakers.
Would a ddj go from master to xlr input 3 and 4?
Hello can I also connect an extra power subwoffer trough the monitor input and then from the output of the sub to the other floor monitors
Where do u plug the power amp into?
Hey, My father recently got 2 Subwoofers and 2 Speakers just like from the Video except I've been having trouble with connecting 2 speakers and 2 Subwoofers to Mixer. I also seemed to have trouble on how to setup the Subwoofer to make sound. It's my first time with these Subwoofers
(The Microphone hasn't arrive yet so, I'll just try to test it when it arrives)
Nobody ever gets an answer
You can connect the main output (L) on your mixer to your (L) subwoofer input then connect the output on that subwoofer to your (L) your speaker input line. Do the same for the subwoofer and speaker side (R).
What would I do in this setup if I need to add 2 more speakers that need to be delayed for a much larger audience space?
Easy just hook the new speaker to the output of the previous one, to the input of the 2 new speakers you just add. So again plug your cables in the speakers the one hooked to the subwoofer on the outputs and plug the other end to the cables on the inputs of the new speakers you just add.
@@sami011212 that won't solve my problem of delaying the speakers, which I solved by using a DriveRack VENU360. Certainly more of a pain and more expensive, but that is sometimes the way to solve the issue
Oh sorry I was thinking that the speakers are close to each other, because I do that in all my events, but in my case there is only 12 foot between the two speakers.
Hi I have one Mackie reach, can you advise me on what sub that I would need please Mo U.K
hi. i have a question. if i have 2 active p.a systems ( bass and tops). can i do the same thing but use one for left and one for right?
If you do that you Need to run everything in Mono. or Mixed Stereo.
@@expertisland thanks so much for that info.
Can i use one subwoofer for my pa 2speaker sound system?
Lots of people do that, but you have to look at the type of music playing and the size of the space you're playing in.
How to connect 2 (Two) Bose S1 pro (L & R Stereo) to 1 (One) Bose Sub1 through Yamaha MG10 XU
Does it matter if your xlr to 1/4 is balanced or unbalanced?
TRY THIS SAME THING BUT SHOW HOW TO ADD A DBX DRIVERACK PA WITH MIXER & POWER SPEAKERS
DBX DRIVERACK is a Cool piece of Hardware with the App controlling the Cross-over And EQ. One Day maybe.... one Day.
@@expertisland If I'm using a dbx gorack where in the audio chain should this be. I've been going from my controller xlr to the dbx gorack to the sub and then out to the mains. I set the gorack volume at max and just use my controller to control volume.
Recently had someone tell me I should be going 3.5mm jack from laptop to gorack and then into the controller and out to the sub and use the gorack to control the volume.
Thank you!
I’ve got 2 ts412 tops and I use ts215s 1250watts, sound on the set up doesn’t sound great and I can’t find anyone who’s done a video on this set up please give us content on this I’m not sure if it’s compatibility or there’s something I’m doing wrong
Great video!
Thank you.😀
In this set up, how will I control the volume of the sub volume separately from the volume of the FOH main speakers if I am back at the mixer?
It's easier to control if you plug into an AUX/GROUP OUTPUT NOW YOU HAVE FADERS TO CONTROL IT.
@@ChristRecords2O16 Update..., That worked! Of course, by splitting them, I was not able to utilize the internal crossover and EQ settings that are built into the sub, so I had to use an external crossover and separate EQ, but it works! Thanks.
I have 2 PYLE 155st powered speaker. I want to adding subwooper what are the specification.
Where are you located helps with options
What causes the speakers to have an static sound in them?
so when you say static sound is more pop! click! sound or is it the soft hissing sound?
Soft hissing sound
That is normal hissing is the amp on PA systems you have 2 amps pre-amp & power Amp, the power amp is running at a fixed level 100%,
The Pre-amp is variable, turn up the pre-amp Gain (volume) Makes the speaker louder. the hiss never gets louder.
Home audio system work opposite Pre-amp is fixed,
(Volume) Gain is on the Power-amp side. no volume no hissing, 50% vol 50% of the Hissing but the music is so loud you cant hear it.
Okay thanks
Hey guys
I have questions for you can I connect 2Mls. 1000 , 2 pa v4115 2500w and 18 inches sub harbinger to lv 14 channels mixer
Thanks again
Nice video! It helped a lot. Question. Which setting should I put the output crossover in?
Good rule of thumb is between 100 and 120
How do add and connect another sub?
Out of the first subwoofer into the second one
Hi, can xlr cable for microphone be used to connect between subwoofer and full range speaker? Or is there any specific cable to connect between the speakers?
Thankyou
Same
Thanks for the info. Is there a way to use this subwoofer with the Harbinger m200 PA? The speakers are passive but the mixer is powered. Cheers.
Yes You Can Use the 3.5 stereo output connection here is the link to the Cable you will need guitar-center.pxf.io/DVNXA2 Livewire Elite Interconnect Y-Cable 3.5 mm TRS Male to 1/4" TS Male. Good News We Will be having a video on the M200 coming up in the next few weeks.
Thanks for video man! Please tell me is the one cable from the sub to mixer enough if you want to connect just one top from the sub , using one main output. I try that and it looks it is just fine. Or i have to connect sub with both mains from the mixer , like u did?
There are left channel and right channel which one you go for different speaker
I just watched another video and was told that it's best to run the sub off of the monitor or aux on my board rather than connecting directly to the speakers. I don't use monitors so i could run a line from the sub to the monitor out on the board. Do you think that's a better idea?
