Headphone out on Kemper Stage

  • My Kemper stage sounds great in my DAW, though monitors and FOH, but the headphone jack is awful. Digital distortion, ect. Ive tried a few different headphones as well. I’ve read others that don’t have a issue. Any insight on this ?

  • What brand headphones did you try? Beyerdynamic, Audio-Techica, Sennheiser?


    Did you change the volume for headphones in the Output section?

    Larry Mar @ Lonegun Studios. Neither one famous yet.

  • Just got a stage and I noticed the plug doesn't work with most of my inears if I plug it all the way in? It's mono and awful.


    Really weird but there is another thread on it so I'm not alone.


    Try pulling the plug out slightly?

  • Not yet. Only used the headphone out to check if the unit worked at all, two weeks after I bought it used (couldn't try out sooner). Scary experience :). Not planning on using headphones very much.


    It's a great unit though. I love that it boots 4 times faster than my powerrack.

  • Yeah. It's up in 18 seconds including the foot switches. The power rack is over a minute before the remote is online last time I checked.
