Kemper Power head instantly blows fuse

    Hi


    My new Kemper Powerhead immediately blows the 5A socket fuse when I activate the Power Amp via the Output options. Has anyone else seen this issue or have a solution?


    The precise sequence of events were:


    1. New Kemper arrives and I start using via headphones / DAW / Computer
    2. I connect the Kemperto an Orange 16 Ohm cab. then active the Poweramp via the output options. There is a noticeable click ...some servo I guess. It works great
    3. I deactivate the Poweramp to save power and revert to use my headphones
    4. I connect up a brand new 8 ohm Zilla cab
    5. I activate the power amp -servo click, fut BANG! 5A socket fuse blows
    6. I replace the fuse - disconnect the cab and power on the Kemper. I notice the Power Amp setting has reverted to off.
    7. I turn down the master volume to 0.
    8. I activate the power amp - BANG! (NB Cab disconnected)


    Very disappointing. Anybody got any clues?

    Not too sure, but shouldn't the cab be connected before you turn on the power amp? That could be why the fuse blew the second time.

    Definitely a manufacturing error. The power amp in the power racks can tolerate being switched on without any cabinet or speaker connected. My OCD means I more often than not switch off the amp when there isn't a speaker connected, however ;)
