Whirlwind cables ?
Are Whirlwind mic cables supposed to be any good ? A client has some
that the sheath appears to have gone slack on, with twist of the internal pair clearly visible. The main problem is that there is an open cct in the screen, and it is NOT at either connector, and there is no obvious damage anywhere else ! They claim to have not been stretched or mis-wound. geoff |

Send it back to Whirlwind and I'll bet that unless the see evidence that it's been run over by a fork lift or something similar, they'll replace it for free. -- For a good time, call http://mikeriversaudio.wordpress.com |

But the other thing is the whole length of 2 cables the same, as if the sheath has somehow degraded. I suspect it may be a heat thing, usually being stored in a car boot. geoff |
