Whirlwind is now offering its legendary MINI Drop Snakes in a choice of ten colors. Made road-tough in the USA, the 6-, 8- and 12- connector versions are equipped with metal Whirlwind XLRs and SnakeSkin fanouts and are ideal for managing mic inputs on stage or in the studio, while their low-profile design makes them especially suited for downstage mic inputs where space is premium.

All MINI snakes feature channel numbering on the box top and the side of the base, so you can use spike tape and not lose your channel ID. The MINI snakes are also available with W1 multipin disconnects. Add a W1 to the MINI-12, and it works perfectly with Whirlwind’s Patchmaster system, the industry standard for live cross-patching.

The color coding and clear numbering helps simplify setups in fast-paced situations
