Would this work? https://www.amazon.com/Haitron…0&keywords=cat6+connector

What would be the point in using a coupler with 2 non locking jacks. The point is to adapt the non locking jack to a locking one that won't be destroyed if the cable gets pulled and leave the non locking plugged into it

My plan is to install one of these in the back corner of my non powered lunchbox. Hopefully soon. Looks like it will just fit top corner. I already have breakout boxes in back to power wireless guitar, 9 v pedal power, 5v sub and wireless iem as needed.

Well, I must say that Kemper stepped up and Got my unit fixed for me though I had a difficult time initially with the us warranty person whom Im Told left the company. I now have quite a bit of insight int this and I can tell you there is NOT a comparable network Jack of the neutrik locking variety available to even install inside the kemper. Therefore I would not expect Kemper to propose anything much different. The best alternative would be a short length of high quality cable to a seperate mounted ethercon style jack as has been suggested..

The CCs are automatically determined by the function that you assign to the pedals. Wah is CC1, pitch is CC4, volume is CC7 and morph is CC11.

NOW I get it!!!

Quote from Burkhard

You are able to configure two receiving external MIDI devices and set
a. logical name
b. MIDI channel
c. MIDI Thru or MIDI Out
for each of those. That isn't new! The same settings did already exist to enable sending MIDI program changes in Performance Mode.

New is, that the four pedal controllers can now be forwarded to the same two devices.

Quote from Robrecht

I think “Pedals to MIDI” means that you can use a standard expression pedal, connected to the KPA or the Remote via TRS jack, to control another device connected to the KPA's midi output. The Kemper will convert the pedal's voltage to midi cc#.

I still dont quite get how to use the new update to midi. It seems it would work the way Robrecht suggests. The only thing new I can see is he referenced pedals to midi checkbox. However, when checked I dont see where it is possible to change the cc message forwarded to whatever external device. Nothing seems to have changed as far as settings available in performance mode midi edit screens. Change the channel, throughput, device name pc # etc

still hoping for.....,, power amp 4 ohm operation, new reverbs,,,,,much better overdrives,,,faster boot up and shut down times,,,,MUCH better way of connecting the pedal cord, the flimsey jack on the back has come out/ broke on me/ on the gig 3 times, it need the same thing thats on the pedal itself,,all you have to do is kik it or trip on it and its shot,,
MUCH better/ stronger Speaker out jack, this plastic one is junk,,( I have the powered rack)
For a touring piece of gear, these must be improved,, hope to see these things sometime this year,,,My rack unit is falling apart,,from 3 years of everyday/night use,
not complaining,, I LOVE this thing, and count on it every day/ night,,but its falling apart, a little piece at a time,

As far as the weakness of connectors go I agree with you. I had to send mine in and wait for repairs for the cat 5 jack replacement. However, I dont think you can ever expect Kemper to change this as these are soldered on to the board and would require an entirely new development. he network jack in particular is quite special as to shielding and speed of communications and Im quite certain there isnt a locking compatible replacement. Since your using and abusing yours heavily I would recomend you build a connector board of sorts for the network jack and perhaps monitor out with a locking network connector and beefier ts jack. leave the actual kemper jacks lugged into them 24/7. A bit off topic of beta .. Sorry

For myself, It's all in the quality of the original profile, The Cab, and the pure cab setting. Some profiles just feel way more organic and interactive like a real amp than others. I've found often times, profiles of the same amp in the same studio even . If the profile doesn't have the raw content to begin with no Eq will fix it. The craft of shaping the tone via the different mic techniques is still a bit possible via different cab files

Thanks to all who have contributed to this.. This is one more thing that makes the kemper great! I never vested too much time with wahs really except for the occasional well known easily recognized stuff. this has started opening up a new world to me that i probably wouldnt have known otherwise. A bit late in the game to go out and buy an assortment of totally different wahs

Lots of big improvements and fixes on this Beta ! Glad to see kemper has NOT been resting on its laurels and continues development. Pitch shifter improvements, mix controls added for some effects, and even some new midi options. well done. Question is is it safe for stage use as usual or anyone experience any showstopper type bugs ?

DID NOT see that!

Sorry for bumping this, but I think that it is better to have a dedicated topic instead of opening serveral for speaking about the same thing.

I don't have a Kemper...yet.

I am looking for a FRFR solution first, I will only be playing at home at low volumes (I am living in a flat), once I will find the right FRFR system for me I am almost conviced to pick a kemper.

Right now I am using a Fender Mustang III v3, which works very well at home volumes, the volumen is really easy to control, it is open back and that really helps with the dispersion of the sound, but the amp is limitied in some aspects and I am looking for an update, which is not going to be cheap at all...

So, how do these Dynacord AXM 12A work at low volumes? And I am not only talking about sound quality or dispersion, but how easy to control are they? I am afraid that the volume knobs could be too sensitive for home usage, I don't want to jump from zero to super loud in a blink...

They main reason for getting those instead of monitors is the dispersion, monitors don't work for me at all because they project a very focused sound and I am always moving around...I would like to buy a couple of them for having a stereo setup. Their mixing capabilities with 3 inputs are also great, I would need at leas two inputs and the EQ options could be helpfull for fixing problems in the room that I am going to place them which is not sonically treated at all and I won't ever be.

I know that some of these powered speakers suffer from a small latency due to the DSP inside, I couldn't see anything in the specs sheet, I am wondering if someone knows the latency for these Dynacords.

Am I in the right track? I really appreciate any help

Thanks!

Having tried various FRFR setups. I dont think you will be unhappy with the dynacord at all, especially for home use at lower volumes. I had to get one sent to the US where there isnt a shortage of options. If you want something that can reveal a profile well, has great seperation of instruments, good sound dispersion and sound quality in a compact versatile unit these are great. NOT exactly the cheapest option. I play mostly in churches so the sound guy always thinks the stage is too loud everywhere you go and these do well in this environment for monitoring a mix and my guitar direct. These do not excel at extreme volume levels so if you play on a stage that has hearing loss potential but you need to cut through the open drums your standing next to it might not be your thing. I prefer this over the yamaha dxr-10 I own as far as revealing the real sound of the profiles.

Lots of big improvements and fixes on this Beta ! Glad to see kemper has NOT been resting on its laurels and continues development.

quicklock bs 625 will work and hold a frfr speaker but take bottoms off or just fold up quickly with just kemper..

another 2 options here on amazon.............https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=karaoke+stand+for+tv+and+mics

https://www.amazon.com/Audio20…oke+stand+for+tv+and+mics

I own both and leave one at my church for the stage

Figured out the correct component. Integrated magnetics, proper shielding, etc. Feel free to correct me if I am misinformed somehow. Here they are at Digikey

.. PLEASE DONT EVEN consider doing this repair if you are not technically minded and competent with soldering small circuit boards.. YOU WOULD LIKELY DAMAGE something else on the board and have to replace more than the jack.

nice chops and nice tip! If I could play like you with these tip I only need like 3 profiles... (plus morphing and the new crystal delays of course)

I thought perhaps I would receive some help if posting this on here. A few weeks back I had reported My network jack on the back of the kemper is broken and started a support ticket. It would seem likely this is not covered on my unit due to a few factors after discussing with kemper. I asked for an estimate for the repair (assuming it would not be covered) but would likely wait a few weeks until I have some down time for the repair. I never received an email back with an estimate but not being ready to to send it in didnt concern myself. Ive since taken some down time musically and responded back to the email stating Im ready to get my kemper fixed but never received an estimate. I have not received a response yet after two days. NOT like the Kemper Ive known in the past. I tried to phone the number listed in the email for Kemper Americas but this goes to a message, which I left and hopefully will get a returned phone call. I need my Kemper fixed. Ive already disassembled the kemper and Im ready to solder a new network Jack on the board which Im quite capable of yet Im not certain of the specs and type of jack in the kemper. It appears to be an uncommon type. perhaps someone more knowledgeable can point me in the right direction or show me where I can purchase a comaptible jack ? Here is a pic.. https://goo.gl/photos/B7wKvBiEqCzPYaDc6 As you can see in the image there are 9 connections which are staggered, 5 in the back row and 4 in front, in addition to the LEDs . If I were able to find this arrangement, it would have been repaired a;ready..

ready to get my kemper repaired but I didnt hear back from you what the cost would be to replace the network Jack if its not covered ?

I keep learning more and more since buying the kemper...Crazy the possibilities this opens up...

Quote from Janne

I've tried it.
It works but it seems that the G10 is very sensitive to the 'quality' of the power. I could not power it from any USB source (KPA, computer, USB-hub) without getting unwanted noise.
So the only reliable way were to use the supplied adapter. I guess that Line6 never intended otherwise...

as far as other sources go, you simply need a quality power supply with a high enough amperage rating to match the line 6. I have a custom power supply in the back of my kemper with outputs to power the line 6 and any standard 9 v pedal etc that tees of the main supply. I use this to power the G10, my in ears when using and any pedal I want. Always looking for ways to reduce and simplify improvements though.

Official response from Kemper is this can interfere with the internal power management of the kemper, therefore not reccomended..

Apparently, if your under existing warranty the coverage is to be determined by the service center determination. A service center is checking my serial to see if I am under warranty and waiting for a reply on cost if not covered. If not, I'm likely to investigate reengineering a neutrik style connector myself depending on how tight the board is.
