Medusa® with Integrated Reel
A REEL Storage Solution
Some pre-manufactured reels (like
Whirlwind's WD-5)
have a built in tray
on the bottom for storing the stage box.
Here's another solution that can make set-up, tear-down and transportation a lot easier.
Our WD-7 reel has a built in connector plate
on its side that can be punched and wired to
your
custom specifications. Surprisingly, it's
not a lot more expensive than buying a standard Medusa®
snake with a separate reel.
Introducing Cyclone Cases by Whirlwind
After 40 years of loading our gear into other companies cases,
we realized that if we built our own, they would be superior in every way!

Cyclone Cases
When we build anything from a concert splitter, to a full blown power distro,
it breaks our hearts to load it into a sub par flight case. Well that was precisely
our motivation in creating the CycloneTM case series from Whirlwind. We picked the
finest Colson® casters, flush mounted MOLTM latches and built it around our Marine
grade HDPE panels resulting in a road worthy, incredibly sturdy road case that won’t
soak up water, and rot like traditional cases that are made with plywood.
Features:
Cyclone CasesTM are built with flush mounted MOLTM latches to keep from
scratching all of your other cases during load in, or transit.
Well thought out, over built, double sprung, recessed handles are what
you’ll find on Cyclone CasesTM!
Cyclone CasesTM are built with the finest Colson® casters to assure a smooth,
and steady transition from venue, to venue.
