Kemper s/pdif and audio interface

  • Just got a presonus quantum audio interface (using logic pro with it) and was told the best way to hook the kemper up to it was via s/pdif, which I've done, but not getting any sound through to the interface. Is there a setting within the kemper I'm missing or will it be on the quantum side?
    Thanks

    Kemper -> long press OUTPUT page 1/6 -> rightmost knob SPDIF set to master stereo, if not set...

  • Make sure your cables are connected correctly. Out from Kemper to In on your Presonus. Set your Presonus to external clock.


    I use the SPDif cables as well. I set my Kemper output level for SPDif to a good -12db input level on my Apollo and then made the SPDif level ignore the master volume knob on the Kemper. Otherwise, I would have to set the level again each time I connected it to my interface. Hope this helps.

  • I set the Spdif level to whatever gives me about -12 peak input into my interface to prevent clipping and provide additional headroom to safeguard against digital clipping. I should have clarified that. I don’t set the number to -12 on the Kemper display. I just turned it on and I see that number is -8.1db.


    Sorry for the confusion. Also, the parameter to uncheck is called SPDIF Out Link. This keeps the level into my interface from changing when I twist the Master Volume knob. Just a suggestion.

  • There should not be a difference in turning down the Rigvolume or turning down spdif...am i right?
    Yes there is no clipping with spdif at zero but i still don´t want to track that hot. I usually track guitars around -10 to - 6 maximum peak.
    So turning down SPDIF is the easier solution for me
