Hi,
I've been using the Kemper for a couple years now. I love it live but my recorded tone has always sounded dull and muddy to me compared to the live tones I get. Like a blanket over my tone. I have been using spdif for some years now.
I recently bought a Captor x to compare my KPA tones to my 6505+ tone. What I discovered was that the fidelity from Captor X was much better when compared to profiles similar to the 6505+ using XLR. So I decided to plug the KPA in using the same XLR cable and WOW what a difference.
Like the blanket was removed!!
My rig: KPA spdif into Focusrite 18i20 G2.
KRK Rokit 5 G2 monitors.
Mesa OS 412 for live.
KPA kone for live.
The spdif cable I use is an Amazon basics digital spdif.
XLR is Monster Pro 900series.
Could the quality of my spdif make that big of a difference? It's digital, why would that matter?
Thanks for your suggestions.
