volume way too loud

    hey guys


    so i just received my kemper, im still confused to how to setup it to my act monitors, but so far the volume is way too loud for bedroom use, i tried to lower the volume through master volume and rig volume but this distorted profile just gets clean. i would like to lower the overall volume of it, how can i do it or better yet, what should i set it up on "output"?


    i have 2 ways i can do this:

    connect act monitors to the monitor out and direct out (how would i set this on output?)

    or

    connect to my apollo solo through main output, and then through the interface to the monitors i could lower the volume (and regulate volume through the interface), what should be the setup for this on main output? master stereo?


    if i connect the apollo to the kemper through main output, what cables should it be? can i use something like xlr on the apollo, and trs on the kemper? thank you


    (and sorry for the noob questions...still learning)

    What model do you have? Stage/Head/Toaster.


    Sounds as if the Master Volume isn't tied to the output you're currently using.

    If the "distorted profile gets clean" when lowering "volume" my guess

    is that you´re adjusting the "Gain" knob ..... :/


    See page 102 - 103 in manual 7.5 for more output settings info



    Cheers !

    The adjective for metal is metallic. But not so for iron ... which is ironic.

    Edited once, last by Hoki Toki ().

    If you haven't already, try using normal guitar cables and if your device has Line In inputs, use those instead of the mic inputs. Some units with multi-XLR/TRS inputs give a different input gain for each. The logic is that the XLR is usually a mic, so it gets more gain.

    I also wonder how Master Volume is linked on page 2 of the Output menu. Could be the output you're using isn't linked to Master Volume. If that's the case, nothing will happen.
