So I just got a couple Whirlwind Power packs with 50amp in and out and was wondering if anybody makes a cover for the output. It seems like a great thing to accidentally jab into your shin or knee.

Thanks in advance.

Michael,

How deep is it?

You might just recess it in a road case.

Michael,

Slightly off topic, but how much are the Whirlwind units? I've been a Motion Labs guy for -- well, about as long as I've needed rack power, but wondering how the price compares. I like some of the labeling that Whirlwind does, i.e. what leg each breaker is on.

Jason, that's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks

Ray, I got a smoking deal on these through a company I work for. Based on what I paid I would assume retail on these is around $800~$1000 each. I'm not sure how that compares to pricing on any other brands.

They are great units. I'll be doing my first show with these on Saturday. But the craftsmanship and the turn around time are fantastic. They quoted me 4-6 weeks and showed up in less than 2 weeks.

OK. Last pair of MotionLabs units I got, last summer, they were just under $500 each (L21-30 I/O, 4-20A circuits). Those were about $100 more then the last time I bought them, which was about 6 years previous!

I do like the look of their distros; esp the load metering. I got a couple of DimmerRack distros this past summer, but probably won't be purchasing anymore from there, so hoping to go up a few steps on the build quality/support and so on!

Ray,
What didn't you like about the DimmerRack distro? Im in the market for a 50amp rack distro and was leaning toward them.

The price is good. Their customer service left a LOT to be desired. I don't like receiving defective product and then -- rather then the manufacturer fixing the problem (on their dime) I am expected to fix it for them.

(Yes, more details/photos/etc are available.)

Naturally, that makes me not want to purchase any product from them in the future. But that's just me. I have an expectation of receiving electrically sound product, from a manufacturer, and the attitude of "The show MUST go on, just FIX IT!" doesn't fly with me.

Ray, that's on par with what I paid for these units. However I have 50amp I/O which I believe is nearly $100 a connector. Copper keeps going up and increased regulations. Not much in R&D but they've gotta pay for those new machines some how.

Well, that is good to hear that they're on the same level as Motion Labs. I'm always copying good ideas from other companies in the area, and one just made a big investment into Whirlwind... which would be helpful for me as I'd like to become a dealer for Whirlwind in the future as well.
