SWR Introduces Megoliath Speaker Cabinet
 April 21, 2000
SWR Sound Corporation announces the latest addition to its Professional
Series line of speaker systems. The SWR Megoliath, an 8x10 enclosure, made its
debut at Winter NAMM 2000.
The Megoliath, which can handle 1200 watts of power, was created for high
volume levels, as well as flexibility when utilizing effects. It was constructed
with two independent compartments that each house four 10 inch custom SWR speakers.
This design enables the cabinet to be run in either stereo or mono. In stereo
mode a signal can be split into two different sections of the cabinet for true
stereo separation. In mono, all 8 speakers work together.
Very much like the SWR Goliath III, the upper section of the Megoliath is
a 4x10 enclosure equipped with a standard SWR tweeter. The lower section has the
same 4x10 speaker design, but without the tweeter. Stereo signals can be routed
to the appropriate speaker section to obtain the optimum sound for the player's
application. For example, distortion can be run through the bottom half of the
Megoliath, while effects such as reverb, chorus, and delay are sent to the top
half of the Megoliath. This feature allows the player to achieve optimum efficiency
from effects while still retaining the bottom-end of the bass signal.
Although it is large by nature, the Megoliath was designed to offer maximum
portability. It comes with several features that make transportation simple. These
features include Grab Bar handles on its top and heavy-duty casters on its bottom,
inset handles located on the bottom of the cabinet for lifting, and skids on the
back for pushing it onto a stage or into a vehicle.
