So, yesterday I had the chance to try out the new settings and new cables...

Kemper XLR Main Outs -> Audio Interface (Presonus 16.0.2) Line Inputs (balanced)

Kemper 1/4" Main Outs -> Power Amp (Behringer 400)

This really works well, I think...

As suggested,

Main Out -> -12dB - ticked

Main Out Volume -> another -12dB (I started at 0dB, but the levels at power amp were way to high)

Now:

With line input level at Audio Interface set to approx. unity -> DAW gives me recording levels between -20dB and -12dB.

The power amp is playable as well.

Plus: both -> DAW & PowerAmp sound very close.

But one (or maybe two) questions still remain...

1. I realized the clean sounds were way quieter than the distorted ones.

So I started turning up the "clean sens" up unitl +7dB.

With the result, that way more rigs have the same volume (or at least feel the same volume)

The "dry" signal from "direct Out" also seems much better. In DAW at levels -24dB up to -12db (striking hard)

With the +7dB in clean sens, the "Git Analog" seems a little bit better than the louder "Git Studio"

With "Git Studio"there would be DAW levels between -18dB to -6dB.

Would it be better to use "Git Analog" or "Git Studio"?

2. Now for the reamping.

With all controls at unity (in DAW), and the return input of the AudioInterface set to approx. medium, the Kemper seems to playback the distorted sound pretty well.

But i read something about adjusting the input of the "reamp sens" to the opposit of the "clean sens"?

But If I lower the "Reamp Sens" to -7dB (clean sens is +7dB) then the distortion vanishes completely, leaving only a crunch sound....

Or is the "reamp sens" only for audio interfaces, that don't have a level control (return from DAW) back into the Kemper?

Best Regards and another thank you very much for your help.

Everything better than before!

Thank you very much! 👍

I will try!

Great hint!

Thank you!

I will have a look at the input settings of the Mixer (it is a digital one) ...

You are right, I pluged into the "MIC" (XLR) inputs of the mixer... leaving the "LINE" inputs empty.

I have just connected and it worked, so I was happy at first.

Master Output is set to "Stereo" with Main Output Volume set to "-36.0dB"

(that seems too low, right?)

Which would be a good output volume to set for a mixer using TS cables and the "Line" input?

Maybe I can get away with balancing erverything...?!

Its all build in an old wardrobe and its a pain, to disconnect - resp. change cables...

Else I will try your tipp with the Monitor/Direct Out setup, instead - until I really need an effect loop again.

Isn't the Monitor a mono output?

Or in pair with the direct output convert to stereo - but losing the effect loop send?

Hello,

I am pretty new to Kemper. Searched and could not find a technical answer to my question.

I connected XLR outputs to Mixer and at the same time Chinch Main Outputs to Power Amp.

(Reason for that is, that everything is hardly accessible and I did not want to plug and unplug the evrytime I dicide to use for just playing and then again when recording)

Is there a problem using both (all 4) main outputs at the same time?

I was wandering if there might be an overload to the Kemper, or the both the signals get to weak...

I tried to use some of the factory presets and it seems some of those can't hardly pass their own Noise Gate settings... And I have to crank up their volume to even hear them.

Could a behavior like this have something to do with my Output Setup?

Bets Regards and thank you for your help,

Hello,

so I tried connecting my Rack with WiFi, everything works fine. But:

When powering up the WiFi Switch, the Remote receives a signal and just one led lights up on the lower right.

When then powering up the Kemper Rack, the Remote lights up brightly and then seems to be stuck in boot process.

I have to unplug the Patch Cable on the back side of the Kemper Rack once, and then the Remote is booting normally. And everything works fine.

Question:

Anybody experiencing the same?

Any solution for having to unplug the cable at each start?

Or might it be the wrong cables, equipment?

Switch is the TP-Link sg1005p (Poe)

Access Point TP-Link WR802N N300

Cables Generic Cat5 cables

Power of the equipment all coming from their own power adapters. (not Kemper USB)

Best Regards and thank you for help,

Jos

Problem solved...

2 new cables (Cat7 and much shorter) solved the problem, now the remote starts as usual without any delay or unplugging...
