This bass cabinet, which can easily handle 1200 watts of power, represents the cutting edge in bass speaker cabinet design. It was created for the player who demands ultimate performance at high volume levels, as well as the discriminating bassist who requires flexibility when utilizing effects. Groundbreaking in design, the Megoliath 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 to create a truly massive sound. 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 are routed to the appropriate speaker section to obtain the optimum sound for the player's application. For example, distortion, which sounds best when used without a tweeter, can be run through the bottom half of the Megoliath. Effects such as reverb, chorus, and delay are sent to the top half of the Megoliath. This unique SWR feature allows the player to achieve optimum efficiency from effects while still retaining the "bottom end" of the true bass signal. Although it is large by nature, the Megoliath was designed by the engineering team at SWR to offer maximum portability. It comes equipped with several unique SWR 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.
