Monitors out not working and listening monitors!

  • Two things here: How are the Monitor outs to be used? What powers them? Mine dont seem to work so I just use main outs to power amp then to cab.


    2nd thing: while profiling why are we encouraged to use studio monitors or PA that has tweaters and horns that are a bit shrill high end? Also the dirty profiles are a bit over saturated and to my ears some clarity and warmth lost. Chime in here folks! Thanks. Joej

  • I don't have the Kemper yet, but I'll try to help.


    Point one: I expect you have to use active monitors, as I believe the current Kemper has no powered outs. Btw, when you use your poweramp+cab, be sure to use an "empty" cab-sim for the best sound.


    Two: I think the reason you should listen through studio monitors or PA, is that you can objectively A/B compare the two sounds. Without the tweeter you could miss those high frequencies that you have to refine to match the original sound. This can be vital if you don't use a cabinet on stage and go straight into the PA.
