powered head vs unpowered??

  • Hey i have a unpowered kemper head and i want to play with a fsfr monitor for live purposes.
    Is there any benefit with a powered head , im confused ?:/

    or is a powered head designed to play with lets say a marshall 4X12 cab ? and no FSFR

  • And the unpowered one can naturally be connected to wide variety of poweramps, especially good thing if you want to go stereo.


    I bought the Kemper 8 month ago, rack version, unpowered. Mostly for studio work and naturally for practicing (and learning). A few days later I was a little in doubt if the powered version would have been the better choice in order to be even more flexible and quickly connect any cabs. But I definitely did the right thing and today I am so happy with my unpowered Kemper.


    Using it with my ENGL valve poweramp and two Mesa Boogie Thiele 1x12 in one configuration and with a ENGL Pro 4x12 which is capable to go stereo as well.


    For your FRFR you are good to go. Have fun!
