you plug the Scarlett to your Computer via USB
the you plug the Scarlett out into the focal with jack rca cable or jack xlr cable
and the Kemper you plug with jack jack or xlr xlr to your Scarlett inputs 1 and 2
that was you can hear all from the computer and the kpa
or you leave the Scarlett and just plug the Kemper with xlr xlr direct to the focal -
-Scarlett to your Computer via USB OK
-FOCAL Monitors to Scarlet the you plug the Scarlett out into the focal with jack rca cable or jack xlr cable
So I need a two head XLR or RCA to one head XLR ? i have to connect it to the front xlr or can i connect one monitor to xlr 1 and the other monitor to the other xlr?
With this cable?
-Kemper to Scarlett
and the Kemper you plug with jack jack or xlr xlr to your Scarlett inputs 1 and 2 OKthat was you can hear all from the computer and the kpa or you leave the Scarlett and just plug the Kemper with xlr xlr direct to the focal

I don't have the Scarlett but definitely don't plug your monitors into the front XLR's. Those are inputs. You want to connect your monitors to the 1/4" line outputs on back of the Scarlett.

OK,
but, if i used the 2 slots of the main output kemper for the monitors, where i must to connect the focursite?
Thank you, its making me crazy -
ok
Scarlett with USB to Kemper
Scarlett jack outputs on the rear both to the inputs of the FOCAL with xlr or rca works both, but xlr is better, so you need two cables Male jack to male XLR
The Kemper outputs XLR into the Front Inputs of the Scarlett you can use jack or xlr for the side of the Scarlett -
Digbob there are 4 main output kemper outputs, 2 xlr and 2 jack.
So, to connect kemper to scarlett i only need 1 cable, as i do normally when i use headphones, connected to xlr slot one in the scarlett front. No? I dont have to connect 2 cables from kemper to scarlett? -
hi
no you dont have to connect two, but then you only have a mono signal
you will miss stereo FX ling ping pong delay which moves from left to right
but a normal guitar is mono so its no problem
the 4 outs of the kpa carry the same signal jack as a pair and xlr as a pair L/R -
But if dont want to loose the stereo, what i have to do, buy a cable with 1 head xlr and 2 head xlr/jack?

two xlr Male/ jack cables
from Scarlett out to focal in
and two xlr female / Jack cables from Kemper to Scarlett in 1 and 2 -
If you have two Focal monitors, it's pretty simple. Here's a crappy diagram:
-
Coldfrixion, between the Kemper and the scarlett, why the xlr/ts jack ?
Either you go balanced with xlr/xlr or even xlr(kemper)/trs jack (scarlett)
Or you go unbalanced tsjack/tsjack.
But i don't think xlr/ts exist. -

Yes, It exists. TRS to XLR.
TRS, not TS. What you are showing is a TS to XLR cable.

Yes, XLR to TS cables exist of course.

Ok, but what's the point ? Again if you want a balanced signal use XLR on the kemper side and XLR or TRS on the Scarlett side.
If you want unbalanced, use TS on the kemper side and TS on the Scarlett side (regular instrument cable). -

The point of the diagram was to simply show how the units are connected, however you originally asserted that you didn't think XLR to TS exists. -
What's the point of recommending an XLR to TS connexion ?

Like I said, I wasn't recommending TS in particular. The point of the diagram was to demonstrate how the units can be connected.

Nice assistance with the pic @ColdFrixion . Sums it up with few words
