Originally developed for Guitar Center’s high-demand rentals program, the Harbinger VARI VR412 powered speaker is now available for individual purchase—by popular request. This 12" 2-way powered speaker was designed to stand up to the rigors of professional use by DJs, bands and live sound engineers across the country. With a proven track record across tens of thousands of rentals since its debut in 2023, the VR412 is finally hitting the shelves as a pro-grade solution for serious performers and event techs.
Powerful, Refined Sound for the Stage or the Floor
The VR412 is powered by 675W RMS/2,500W peak and pushes up to 130dB max SPL, making it fully capable of handling large rooms and high-energy performances. At its core is a 12" XR extended response low-frequency driver paired with a refined PEEK compression tweeter that delivers articulate, full-range sound with impressive clarity and punch. Whether you're running playback tracks, live vocals or full band mixes, the VR412 keeps up effortlessly.
Advanced DSP and Bluetooth for Modern Flexibility
Built-in DSP tools include sound-optimizing presets, Smart Stereo linking, a Sub Cut feature for seamless integration with subwoofers like the VRS18 and Bluetooth audio streaming for quick wireless setup. For streamlined connectivity, the VR412 supports versatile input handling, including dual combo inputs and XLR output for daisy-chaining. You'll also appreciate the USB charging port, letting you keep your mobile devices powered throughout the gig.
Rugged Plywood Cabinet With Road-Ready Tote Bag
Unlike many consumer-grade loudspeakers, the VR412 features a durable plywood enclosure for superior resonance control and long-term durability. This robust build not only enhances performance but provides a distinct upgrade from the plastic enclosures typical of similarly priced powered speakers. Designed for life on the road, each speaker comes with a tote bag for padded transport and safe storage of the unit and your cables.
Professional Versatility in the Harbinger VR412
The VR412 offers an unmatched value-to-performance ratio in its class. With a build quality that has been proven robust by tens of thousands of rental sessions, the VR412 is a rare opportunity to invest in a premium wood-cabinet powered speaker at an approachable price. This is an unbeatable value for a stage- and event-ready speaker, making this a smart move for DJs, AV providers or touring musicians who demand more from their gear.
