Speaker load on a powered KPA

  • The power amp has a built in protection circuit that prevents it from overheating... but besides that: before the amp overheats you'll most likely be deaf :D


    Somewhere Kemper also wrote that it is ok to use a 4 ohm cab if you don't turn the volume up to maximum.

  • The current through the FETs (or transistors) will be a bit bigger then with 8 or 16 ohm. Therefore you have less power before the safety will trigger.


    Compare it to PA amps, loaded with 2 ohm loads.
