Can a non-powered Kemper blow/break a pair of studio monitors?

  • Hi,
    I have a non-powered Kemper with a pair of Yamaha HS7 connected trough the XLR main output on the Kemper.
    I have the recommend level of +4db on the studio monitors and usually around -10db on the Kemper if playing BHP profiles or -5db with MBritt, Top Jimi, Guido profiles.


    Do you think it possible that when playing at that volume I might blow the speakers?
    I'm also getting a little sound distortion at high volumes when the profile is too trebly, but I still didn't find if that distortion is coming form my ears or the speakers :/


    Thank you

  • Any distortion could be from clipping the input of the HS7's. I would try turning up the volume on the HS7's, then use the Kemper output to vary your loudness. As for blowing the speakers, wouldn't that have to be VERY loud?
