Kemper Amps Forum

You can adjust the input gain on your monitors, if required.

Many users have even stated, that the output volume is too high for some audio interfaces.
This is why we will even lower the volume by 6 db on all outputs in future updates.
This will also allow for some additional internal headroom.

Is it possible to leave the headphone out loud?
It is very useful to have a powerful headphone out.

Hi Cristoph, thanks for replying. So does this mean the Master Outs are not suitable to connecting to monitors directly?

But yes.
A I said, increase the input gain on the back of your monitors.

Yes, it is the plan to leave the headphone output as it is.

I am using a guitar amp head as a power amp. I bring the Kemper signal into the RETURN of the FX loop on the amp and then on into a cabinet. It sounds great, but the volume is only controllable on the Kemper. If the output volume is reduced by 6 DB, I will probably be forced to use something else for live performances.

Ok this is a problem. First off do NOT decrease the output volume. I agree with the above person that lowering output would make the output far too low.

Here is the possible issue: using the XLR outs you are supposed to be outputting +4DB, using the non balanced -10 TRS outs, this output level does and should drop. Currently the output is ok but if you change it I have no idea how I am going to use the Kemper to play live with.

I have a EMU 1212M audio interface with balanced inputs that accept +4DB input. The Kemper XLR outputs are correct for this and output correct levels. If you tried to plug the Kemper with XLR outs into an interface with non-balanced inputs you would totally overload the inputs.

I actually have an issue using the SPDIF out. The levels are too low without getting clipping. I have no idea why I can't seem to get the Kemper as loud as music I am playing without getting pops in parts of my guitar playing.

In all seriousness this is really getting on my nerves. I can't deal with the clipping sounds. I turn the VOLUME down on the Kemper and I get no more clipping, turn it up to levels I can play with and I get clipping. All profiles totally blast and clip my system if I just switch to them because the SPDIF has no MASTER volume level...

The entire time I am playing I never get the MASTER light turning anything other than green.

I also support the request to NOT lower the main output. With the TRS outs the KPA already has a weaker signal than any other TRS device I own. I run the gains on my studio mixer hotter with the KPA maxed than I do with Line6 and Roland gear at 50%....??? Its usable now but 6db lower would be a step in the wrong direction. The KPA may gain internal headroom but I lose headroom at the board.....not good!

Agree with the above comments, people is having issues (not me, for some reasons) with the spdif only, the other outputs are fine.
