    When a microphone is close to the speaker, a small position change "listens" to a different part of the speaker, and a change is heard in the tone of the microphone's signal.


    A couple of extreme examples:


    If a profile is made with the microphone pointed to a thin, bright sounding location on the speaker, the microphone signal going into the Kemper will give the appearance of an amp that does not "fatten up" with higher signal level input. Turning the guitar up/down will not make the profile respond like the amp does.


    Or, If a microphone has a pronounced proximity effect, placing the microphone too close to the speaker can produce too much low end in the profile, and a loud amp profiled this way could even cause the microphone to compress the dynamic range of the signal being sent to the Kemper.

    @ paults: Ah, I see the point now :)
    You're saying that EQing in or out certain freqs which are protagonist in rendering the dynamic, mic placement can reduce the perceived response from the amp.
