About Whirlwind
Whirlwind Music Distributors has manufactured professional audio cables, direct boxes, and signal splitters in Rochester, New York since 1976, hand-assembling the professional audio infrastructure that powers concerts, recording studios, and broadcast facilities.
Heritage & History
Whirlwind was founded in 1976 in Rochester, New York by Michael Laiacona, a professional audio engineer frustrated with the quality and reliability of professional audio cables. Whirlwind grew through the touring audio community, where word spread that Whirlwind cables were built differently — hand-soldered with quality connector hardware, tested before shipment, backed by genuine warranty service.
Whirlwind expanded from cables to direct boxes, signal splitters, patch bays, and audio multi-pair systems — the infrastructure of professional audio installations used backstage at concerts, in recording studios, and in broadcast facilities worldwide.
Made in Rochester, New York
All Whirlwind products are hand-assembled in Rochester, New York. Cables are made by skilled technicians who solder connector terminals by hand, test continuity and ground isolation on every cable, and inspect finished products before packaging.
