Auxiliary Input: Separate Volumes for aux input to Monitor Output and aux input to headphone

sebikummer · May 8th 2016

At the moment, the aux-input signal appears on Monitor and Headphone Output simultaneously, when I turn up the Aux-to headphone volume.
It would be terrific to separate that, for the following application:

- I send the main output to the FOH mixer.
- Monitor out goes to my powered FRFR speaker for my personal guitar monitoring (or via the powered output with cab-off to a guitar cab).
- band monitoring comes as In ear mix from FOH. I would like to feed that into the auxiliary input and mix it with the guitar signal to the headphone output, which goes into my wireless In ear monitoring. Ideally, if only XLR (left) aux input is connected, it should go to left and right headphone as mono signal.

This internal mixing for in ear monitoring is not possible at the moment, because the in ear mix goes to my monitor guitar cab as well.

Would be great if you could realize this in a future firmware!
Thanks, Sebastian

Good idea!

Agreed! I send the Kemper main out XLR to our board, run my monitor send from our board into the Kemper aux in, and run from Kemper headphone out into my wireless in-ear unit. This way, I get guitar in stereo in my ears while receiving a mono monitor mix from our board (so I'm only taking up 1 aux send from our board).
I'd like to be able to run an active speaker on stage for guitar stage volume, but with this routing, the aux input (my monitor mix) is audible through both my in-ears AND the active speaker on stage (I only want guitar in this speaker).
This feature would be great!

This scenario is even worse if you're using a 4x12 from the power amp out, because you get to hear the full band through a guitar cabinet.

Even though the Vintage 30 adds some nice color to the keyboards, this isn't what i expected from the "Aux to Headphone" volume.

Yes, exactly - good to know that you have the same problem as I do.
Thanks for supporting this request!

Yes pleeeeeease. Aux left to both headphones and ability to remove from main outs

I would like to add this would give the ability to add space effect to Iem on headphones which is exactly why it was created.

Yep, It would be enough to replace the two "Aux In to..." checkboxes with two volume controls

We're currently considering to Change to IEM. So I also will have this Problem.

+1 that would be awesome!
I'm using a powerhead and that would help a lot.

So if I have a mono in ear mix from foh. How would one connect this for in ear monitors and how is volume now controlled ?

You need a Y-connector, dividing the XLR signal from mixing desk to two 6,3mm plugs which feed into the Aux Input (unfortunately, the one XLR Aux input on the backplate is not distributed to both headphone channels, but only to one, this is why you need to split the signal to both AUX input plugs by cable!)

Volume of Aux Feed relative to guitar signal is controlled using "Aux to headphones" in the output menue. (in my experience, the Aux-feed from the mixer desk has to be cranked up quite high to provide enough loudness for the input relative to the guitar signal!)

Total in-Ear-Volume/Output is then controlled by the "Headphones Master" in the output menue.

If you use cable in ear, just plug your headphones in the headphone out on the front plate; if you use wireless, then use a Insert cable (=One 6,3mm Stereo to two 6,3mm mono plugs) to connect your wireless device.

Hope that helps!

Yes that helps ! Pretty much what I thought . Thanks for taking the time to respond. Currently I am using a rolls headphone amp/ adaptor and it works great. However, if I can eliminate this extra piece of gear from on top of kemper even better.... I will need to buy an adaptor or build one to test the difference it seems
