Hi, daimion.
Welcome. Congratulations on getting you Kemper Profiler.
It looks like you can connect the Kemper Profiler Master Outputs to the AX I/O inputs.
XLR Female to 1/4 inch (6.3 mm) Tip-Ring-Sleeve (Preferred)
XLR to XLR
OR
1/4 inch (6.3mm) Tip-Sleeve to the 1/4 inch combo jack inputs.
Which Profiler did you get?
Here are some other resources for you.

Best option is XLR female-》TRS.
Reason is that this will be a balanced connection without going through the mic preamp stage of the interface.

Of course, XLR to 1/4 inch (6.3 mm) Tip-Ring-Sleeve should work too. I wouldn't expect to hear any difference from XLR to XLR assuming you set the input trim appropriately.

Yes, you can do it as you described but the "best option" is what I wrote. Better input impedance for a line level signal, no unwanted coloration from the mic preamp stage, no increased noise floor from an unnecessarily lowered output level.
I know that most users aren't aware of the small differences and typically go for cables with same connectors on both ends. In case of the Profiler though, it makes sense to go from XLR to TRS because sadly the 1/4 inch outputs are unbalanced.

Hey daimion and ST, thanks for asking the question daimion and the for the answer ST. I've got my Kemper rack connected with both XLR's on both ends and have noticed the audio isn't quite up to snuff. I'd read about 1/O'S possible mic preamp stage but thought maybe my AXE 1/O like daimon's would be different. Looks to not be the case, I'm going to get those adapters to 1/4 inch!
