There are different types of ethernet cables - 2 different types of CAT5 as well as CAT6, All use the same connector. It's possible that your 2 cables are different types. The type of cable is usually printed on the cable sleeve.
Also, can the CAT5 cables have issues? I have more than one - one for the studio and one for gigging. Is it possible there is an issue with my cable? Maybe will try to test that out but it will be a pain to run it in the studio.
Could you explain why this may be needed?
Icepower boards expect balanced (i.e. symmetric) input signals when they're used in bridged mode, which is what you want if you're no using them in mono rather than stereo. Kemper's monitor out is unbalanced (un-symmetric) signal so you need a unbalanced to balanced converter like this converter to use the Icepower amp to its full potential.
Yes, it does make sense and I suspect that Kemper is either doing this or using IRs captured with a measurement, i.e flat response, microphone.

Have you checked the rig pack available on Kemper's site?
29 demo Rigs used by Thomas Dill at the PROFILER workshop tour including handout material.
17 Rigs demonstrating Morphing.
30 Rigs demonstrating pitch effects prepared by Bill Ruppert and Don Petersen."
Yes, 3.0.79. If you're still seeing the problem please open a support ticket.
I believe that issue was fixed in the most recent beta.
Thank you Timo, Arne, Oskar, Georg and Jan!
SAY THANKS!
Guys, I want you all to raise a glass tonight to Timo, Arne, Oskar, Georg and Jan. Without them, Rig Manager 3 wouldn't finally be here.
Best, GS
I haven't noticed any difference in feel but I haven't been able to do a side-by-side comparison. If you do find a difference in the feel you may be able to adjust it a bit with the Resonance and Presence controls of the reactive load on the TAE.
I make profiles with the Waza TAE and I have no reservations about using it at all. I have made profiles with mic and speakers in the past and I find it easier to get a profile I'm happy with when using the TAE, probably because monitoring and comparing the profile to the amp is so much easier when using the TAE.
Brian
Great!
What profile are you using on the guitar?
Hi,
Will you be making capturing any direct profiles of this amp?
Brian
I got a response from customer support. This is normal behavior.
"Minor changes of these parameters should not be audible on the monitor and speaker out, but yes, bigger changes are noticeable and unavoidable by design."
Brian
Hi,
I'm not sure if this is new but it occurs in the most recent release OS, 5.7.4.14373. I've got my unpowered Kemper with the monitor out connected to a solid state power amp powering a guitar speaker cab. The monitor out is set to Monitor Cab Off. I've also got the S/PDIF output, set to main out, going to my audio interface. The KPA's cab is on on that output. When I change the cab settings such as high shift, low shift and character I can hear the changes on the real speaker connected to the power amp and monitor out. Shouldn't that output be independent of the cab settings?
Thanks,
Brian
Has Kemper's patent on profiling expired?
I don't think it's uncommon or unrealistic to note what gear you use in recording. I often see something like "recorded through a Focusrite 18i20 interface direct to ProTools with no additional processing" in the text associated with demos.
Brian
Welcome!
Since you have amps that you love profile them if you have the means. I think the KPA really shows its magic when you do.
Brian
Yes, if you turn down your amp the sound during profiling will decrease as well. You may have to turn the amp down a lot in order to reduce the sound during profiling to the point that it doesn't rattle your speakers. Then the resulting profile may not have the sound you want. If you want the profile to sound like your amp turned up loud you have to profile it that way.
Hi,
Yes, the profiling process is very, very loud if you have a powerful amplifier. It's not something I would do at home because the volume would have the police at my door in minutes!
If your Mesa 2x12 can safely handle your amp at full volume it should be ok for profiling. The profiling process lasts less than a minute.
