For many months now, my foot controller LCD screen would go from fully lit to dark, whenever I would lightly bump anywhere on the case. I could tap the case with my foot or hand, and the LCD would go dim, then tap it again and it would fully light. I contacted Kemper's repair center in Colorado for some troubleshooting. After some discussion and sending them a video of the problem, they thought that the screen itself might be bad, or perhaps the connector where the LCD's ribbon cable plugged into the board. However, they couldn't be certain until they tested the unit. I gig 3 to 4 nights per week and can't work without it, so I opted to buy a new screen at $20.00 shipped. Luckily there was no soldering involved and I was able to install it. Long story short...that fixed the issue and now my controller is back to normal.

There's very little information online about this problem, so I posted here for anyone who's experiencing the same thing. Replacing the screen is fairly involved, but NOT extremely difficult, with no soldering/desoldering required.

this is correct. That is why you should keep the monitor cab off option deactivated when using FRFR type monitors. Deactivated means unchecked in this case.

Okay got that. So to get that same exact FOH sound in the DXR10 floor monitor, it should be deactivated on Monitor Out too, correct.

if your monitor is a full range one you need to have monitor cab off deactivated to get the same sound as from FOH.

I’m sorry but I still don’t understand. I’m sending Main Left (mono ) to DXR12s , which is the FOH system. I want to hear the exact same sound that’s going there, in my DXR10 floor monitor via the Monitor Out. If I check monitor cab off, it bypasses the cabs used in the rigs & changes the sound completely. I just tried it out & the FOH sounds as the rigs should, but the floor monitor sounds very different due to no cab simulations.

please check your aux in settings for the monitor output.

Also check the monitor cab off function in the output menu. It should not be activated if you use the DX.

The aux in setting for the monitor out is set to 0. I don’t understand why it should be necessary to deactivate monitor cab off. I want to hear the same sound I’m sending to FOH in my floor monitor.

I have a new Kemper without the power amp option. I have the Main Outs set to mono. When I go out of the Main Out Left or Right 1/4" jack into my DXR10 all sounds good with minimal noise. When I switch the jack to Monitor Out there is some loud hiss & minor static. The output levels are set the same for the Main Outs & Monitor Out. What could be causing the noise? Has anyone else had this problem?

Thanks!
