Kemper Kabinet Question

  • Might get a kabinet in the future and I have a Ritter Camplifier 290. If I get one and run the power amp in bridge mode on it, the amp is 8 ohms and the kab says 4 ohms, I know thats not good on tube amps but is this not good also on solid state amps? If I dont go bridged mode the amp runs the two stereo outs at 4 ohms which should work but just wondering about this.

    :/

    What kind of cab are you using now? How many ohms?

    Are you getting gig volume out of it?

  • I did contact Ritter, they said its not recommended. It may be fine but the amp will shut its self off to protect itself at high levels.
    not really a big deal cos you can run 1 cab off of 1 of the stereo 4 ohm outs. I found that info on another thread I just found that Ritter amps started.


    The few times I used a cab live it was my Diamond 2x12 16 ohm with v30s and it runs it as loud as I could ever need on bridge mode. I also have a peavey 4x12 cab thats 16 ohm mono or can run 8 ohm stereo which is really cool with this amp and its plenty loud. Powerful and great amplifier.


    Kemper Kab is just another toy really for me but would be nice and small for using live vs a 2x12

    What are your amp/output settings?

    Specifically your monitor out level, amp level etc in the kemper? Does your Camplifier 290 have a volume control? Where do you have that set? Curious about these things for practice/gig levels.

  • My output levels I keep at around -10 main and monitor out. My camplifier does have a volume knob and I run it around halfway to 3/4. It gets plenty loud and theres plenty more on tap if I turn the kemper outputs up too.


    full blast is louder than I would ever used for sure in bridged mode and even in 90 watt mode.
