Press the button above the Mix/Sub Out jack to show or dismiss the display page of output options
· Sub Cut: Removes frequencies lower than the selected frequency from the audio sent to the VARI's own amplifier and speakers, using a 4th-order Butterworth low-cut-type filter. This is typically done when using VARI with a subwoofer, to let VARI focus its energy on the upper frequencies, while the sub handles the lows.
· Mix Out Mode: Chooses what audio to send from the MIX/SUB OUT jack o Mono Mix: Intended to feed audio to another sound system, or monitor speaker o Sub With Cut: To feed a subwoofer, the output has only low frequencies below the Sub Cut frequency o Alt Link: Page 7 shows how to use this mode to link multiple pairs of VARIs
· Invert/Delay: Several options are available o Off: Mix/Sub Out is not inverted or delayed o Invert: Mix/Sub Out is inverted (reversed or flipped phase or polarity) o Any delay applied is in addition to System Delay (see page 13). o 1-30ms: Delays the Mix/Sub Out. This delay allows the same capability as the Time Aligning Delay on the Harbinger VS12 and VS18 subwoofer. When feeding a subwoofer, send audio with strong low frequencies to the subwoofer, and adjust this delay until low frequencies are loudest and strongest. Delay can also be used to compensate for distance between speakers in complex, multi-speaker setups, so the display shows the approximate number of feet that sound travels in the selected time o 1-30ms Invert: delays and inverts the Mix/Sub Out
· Mix Out Level: Controls the output level, which is valuable for adjusting the level sent to a subwoofer, monitor speaker or other sound system
· Clip LED: If the Clip LED near the Mix/Sub Out jack is lit, turn down the Mix Out level to avoid distorted sound

HEARING DAMAGE AND PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE SPLs
Harbinger VARI 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 U.S. government Occupational Safety and Health (OSHA) website at: www.osha.gov.
