Output volume too loud?

  • Hi Guys,


    during soundchecks I always have the sound engineer saying that my kemper output is too loud. Even at -20db! I usually have my Kemper going to FOH through main output. Am I doing something wrong?

  • There is no standard to which equipment receives a signal. If the board being used typically connects a microphone to pickup the guitar sound: the typical mic is around -30dB. Maybe set your Main Out to -18dB, and when you play that venue, you can select the “-12dB” soft button to further reduce your signal to -30dB that a typical mic would send.

  • Am I doing something wrong?

    I use as standard the -12 db Option in the output menue.

    Normally I have setted it aprox - 20 to the Input of our Behringer XR18.

    If we play in a venue with a FOH and local soundman the value is similar vom -18 to 24 depending on the mixer.

    So you do nothing wrong.

    It's the Kemper which deliver a strong signal. (For me not a failure)

  • -18 dB is a good value and quality mixing desks should be able to handle this level easily.

    Some soundguys (sadly) don't know how to trim down the channels of their mixing desk.

    The next time you get complaints please ask if he desk channel was trimmed down to line level sensitivity.
