About Whirlwind

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.
