VARI Series

About VARI Series

The VARI Series app lets you control your VARI V3412, V3415, V4112 or V4115 powered speaker wirelessly, from the audience position, to get the ideal sound for your venue and application. Customize any Voicing, and save your personal settings to the VARI's hardware memory so they'll be available any time, with or without the app. Control the master speaker of a Smart Stereo setup, and hear every adjustment in real time from all speakers in the Smart Stereo setup.

Here's what you can you do with one of these VARIs, and the VARI Series app:

From the app or the VARI’s own display you can adjust the sound as follows:
Voicing selection–the hardware and app both allow you to select any of the Voicings, which tune the speaker sound for various applications
Bass and Treble–these are knobs on the hardware, and controlled by sliders in the app
Sub Cut–this is a menu on the hardware, and also on the app, that lets you enable/disable a low cut filter (V4112/V4115 also allows cut off frequency to be selected)
Location (V4412/V4415 only)–this is a menu on the hardware, and also in the app, allowing a selection of Pole, Floor or Wall (Pole leaves sound unaltered, Floor and Wall reduce bass frequencies to compensate for those physical placements, when the speaker is on the floor in "wedge" position, or placed against a wall)
Master Volume (V4112/V4115 only)–this is a knob on the hardware, and controlled by a slider in the app
Note you CANNOT control input volume (the gain of individual Channels of the VARI), as those are analog gain controls

The app lets you do all this also, and go further, because it lets you edit any Voicing (the VARI's own display only allows voicing selection, not voicing edit)
Each Voicing is made up of multiple EQ bands, each can be set for Butterworth Low Cut (aka High Pass), Low Shelf, Parametric (aka peaking), or High Shelf
V3412/V3415 provide 4 EQ Bands per Voicing, V4112/V4115 provide 7 EQ Bands per Voicing
You can edit and store every/any Voicing to VARI’s memory, so these will all be available from the app, and without it
V3412/V3415 has 5 Voicings, and V4112/V4115 has 10 Voicings
V3412/V3415 Voicings are Standard, Club, Speech, Floor Monitor, Custom (APP)
V4112/V4115 first 5 Voicings are Standard (flat), Club, Live Band, Speech, AcoGtr&Vox
V4112/V4115 last 5 Voicings are called User 1-5, all set to flat (same as Standard), as a starting point for your customization

V4112/V4115 allow you to adjust these additional system-related settings (all also accessible from the V4112/V4115 hardware display)
Stereo Master Is Left (or Is Right)–for Smart Stereo, you decide whether master speaker is left or right channel audio
DI for Stereo – lets you have a mono DI out when running stereo, or use the DI to support multiple Smart Stereo pairs
LED – set LED to indicate power+limit, or power only, or force LED off

V3412/V3415 allow these additional controls (V4112/V4115 cannot support these features from an app)
Routing – Like the hardware ROUTING button, selects Normal (Mono), Stereo Master, or Link In routing
Bluetooth – On/Pair and Off buttons provide the same capability as the VARI hardware buttons
Firmware Version–The V3412/V3415 firmware version is reported in the Tools window (accessed from gear symbol near top right of main window)

The VARI and app also let you save/recall Preset(s)
V3412/V3415 has one Preset, V4112/V4115 has 6 Presets
These store the current operational state of the speaker, for later recall
For example, you could have a Floor Monitor preset that includes your personal tweak on the Bass and Treble
Or you could store your setup for Smart Stereo, including both the tuning and the audio routing configuration

You can also stream audio via Bluetooth while using the app, so you can be listening to audio from your device as you operate the app
Play the audio from your audio apps on the phone, such as the standard Music app, while you also run the VARI 4000 App.
