STEREO OPERATION
When using Megoliath as a stereo cabinet (different sources for top and bottom sections), simply con-
nect your desired sources (left and right of a stereo amp, or perhaps two completely different ampli-
fiers) into either the 1¼4" or Speakon jack marked “In.” When choosing two distinct sources to route to
either panel “A” (top) or “B” (bottom), you may want to take into account that Megoliath’s top 4x10
section has a tweeter and the bottom does not. Perhaps you have an affected signal and
a clean signal, both independently powered. Maybe you want the clean signal to have that “classic
SWR” sound, in which case you’d want to utilize the tweeter in the top compartment. Or maybe you
have a wild effect that needs a tweeter and you prefer the clean signal on the bottom for better cou-
pling with the floor. The decision is yours.
TWEETER ATTENUATOR CONTROL
The large dial found on input panel “A” (top chamber) of Megoliath is the Tweeter Attenuator. This con-
trol is used to adjust the level of high frequency signal present at the horn/tweeter. A normal
setting for this control is straight up or “twelve o’clock.” Turning the dial fully counter-clockwise removes
the tweeter from the circuit. As you turn the dial clockwise from this position, the high
frequency content is increased.
INTERNAL CROSSOVER
The internal (passive) crossover divides the incoming signal to Megoliath’s top chamber into two
frequency bands. The crossover point is 5 kHz (frequencies above 5 kHz are sent to the tweeter,
frequencies below 5 kHz are sent to the 10" speakers).
TRANSPORTING THE MEGOLIATH
For level transport, simply place your foot on the kick plate near the bottom of the rear, pull back on the
dual grab bars, and wheel Megoliath on the heavy-duty casters to your desired location. For lifting up
stairs, first ask someone to help you. Then lay the enclosure on its back. On the bottom you will notice
two handles. One person takes the grab bars, one person takes the bottom handles, and up you go.
For lifting into cars and onto stages, we have mounted two hard plastic skid rails onto the back of the
cabinet. Once the cabinet is off the ground and leaning on a surface—say, the edge of a stage, or the
back of a car or pickup truck—-just push and slide the cabinet forward.
