Kemper Stage into Kemper cab sounding weird

rickenbeatle · May 11th 2023

I’m not 100% I have it hooked up right and I can’t find any info online. Any help is much appreciated.

Are you connected with the Monitor Output?

Are you using Studio Profiles?

In the Output section, is Kone Mode = ON? It needs to be, for Kabinet to sound as designed.

I don’t get any sound plugged into the monitor out, only the main. I’ve tried both direct and studio. Kone is on.

Kone Mode is not available for the Main Outputs.

What is the Monitor Output level in the Output Menu?

Somehow monitor was off. Turned it on. I have sound now but this thing still sounds awful.

what output source is assigned to the monitor output? The default setting is Master Mono. Make sure that yours is set to that to get the fully processed signal.

Are you using a KEMPER Power Kabinet?

If you are looking for online help, please download the Main Manual. A includes a chapter dedciated to KEMPER Kone and all related settings.

According to the manual, I should have everything hooked up. The monitor out was on master stereo but I changed it this morning. Didn’t notice much of a difference. Although, I wasn’t able to turn it up very loud because my gf was asleep, lol.

I am using an unpowered cab with a crown power amp.

Does the type of profile matter? If the profile has a cabinet, should I turn the cab off?

Is the unpowered cabinet a Kemper Kone or something else?

We'll need some specifics on exactly what's plugged into what to help.

I suspect the Crown power amp might not be hooked in properly. What's the model?

I will give you some more specifics later today, after I get home from work. It’s a Crown XLS 1002 350W 2-Channel power amp.

I suggest, you first read the Main Manual chapter "KEMPER Kone" to understand the basics.
