Speaker impedance

darkphader · Aug 11th 2019

Seems that an 8 ohm impedance load is nominal for the powered Kemper, but if one is using two 8 ohm speakers in a 2x12 is there a preference in the wiring?

Is in series at 16 ohm to be preferred over in parallel at 4 ohm (or vice versa)?

Thanks!

16ohm would half the power of the Kemper’s output. 4ohm will still give the full 600w but the power amp is limited to stop it going beyond that and being damaged.

General rule is If your amp is set for 8 ohms don't run anything less than that. If you are not sure what you have ask before you apply power.
