OVERVIEW
Megoliath was designed to be the ultimate professional speaker
cabinet in both power-handling and application flexibility. To achieve maximum performance for your pre-
ferred setup, please read the following instructions carefully and thoroughly.
Megoliath is basically two independent 4x10 enclosures that can be run separately from two
different sources, or as one mono 8x10 enclosure by chaining the top and bottom enclosures together
using the high-quality Speakon speaker cable provided. Each independent 4x10 enclosure has its own
input panel: “A” for the top and “B” for the bottom.
CONNECTION AND OPERATION
All of the jacks (both Speakon and 1¼4") on input panels “A” and “B” are wired in parallel. All jacks run
full range and any one per panel can be used as an input jack. However, we have marked the jacks
with “in” and “out” labels for your wiring convenience.
MONO OPERATION
When using Megoliath as a mono 8x10 cabinet (one amplified source), simply connect the Speakon-to-
Speakon speaker cable from the “Output To Bottom Section—Mono Operation” jack on panel “A” to the
“Input” Speakon jack on panel “B.” Then connect your amplifier’s speaker output to one of the inputs
(either 1¼4" or Speakon) on panel “A”. When using Megoliath in mono mode, SWR strongly recom-
mends a high quality (14 gauge or better) Speakon-to-Speakon connection from your amplifier to the
panel “A” input, as the Speakon jack offers a superior connection and maximum transference of power.
This is why we have provided the Speakon cable and clearly marked the “Output” Speakon jack on
panel “A.” However, 1¼4" jacks are available on both top and bottom panels for use with amplifiers that
are not equipped with Speakon output jacks.
