Hi, I'm thinking about buying the powerrack with a 4x12 v30s ENGL cab, but I'm afraid I'll burn the speakers with that much output from the kemper.
Is there any way to limit the power output?
Thanks.

Welcome. There is nothing to fear actually if you limit yourself in the use of the master volume. -
I have the powerrack with 2 marshall 4x12 cabs. A vintage B 4x12 16 ohm v30s and a marshall 4x12 with celestion t75s 16 ohm. Even had both hooked to powerrack at the same time.....No issues in over a year and I play loud....there is a power amp boost setting you can turn from 0 to +12. I leave mine on +6.
A big trick to using the cabs for me is the studio eq play around with different profiles and leave the cab on on some profiles everyone says turn them off but I get amazing tones with them on... just using the eqs in the kemper you will be amazed......just have to play with the channel volume so you don't clip the output if using studio eq it's easy. I also have a yamaha dxr12 and other pa speakers but I prefer the 4x12(s)....you will to if you eq them right. Unless your playing somewhere that needs to be mic'd then the pa's are life savers kemper rocks!!! You should enjoy it with the Engl 4x12. Keep us posted

Yeah, thinking about it i realised I'm not even going to get close to 120W even live. -
A lot depends on your cab's internal wiring. @16 ohm the Power amp outputs much less power than @8 (or 4, of course)

Most (but, not all) 4X12 cabinets are 16 ohm cabinets.
