KEMPER Kone / KEMPER Kabinet
As you have read in the chapter The Sound of Guitar Cabinets versus Mic'ed Speakers, the PROFILER can run
linear speakers for monitor purposes, as well as traditional guitar cabinets. However, our company also provides a
specialized speaker solution for the ultimate in sonic variety: the KEMPER Kone™ is a speaker that allows for a
linear reproduction of your rigs, as well as mimicking several classic guitar speakers. The choice is yours!
Connect the KEMPER Kone speaker to the PROFILER’s SPEAKER OUTPUT or amplify it by an external solid-state
power amp, connected to the PROFILER’s MONITOR OUTPUT.
KEMPER Kone
The KEMPER Kone is fully controlled by the software of your PROFILER. Please activate its “intelligence”, navigate
to the “KEMPER Kone” page in the Output Section and press the soft button labeled “KEMPER Kone”.
You will find three familiar parameters that we have mirrored on the KEMPER Kone page for your convenience:
Monitor Volume, Monitor Stereo and Monitor Cab Off. When Monitor Cab Off is not highlighted, the KEMPER Kone
works in full-range mode.
Bass Boost
The KEMPER Kone has been designed to have a perfect tone when the cabinet sits on the floor. Whenever you lift a
cabinet into free space, it will lose a certain amount of the bass fundamental, as the mirroring of the floor will
attenuate it. This effect can be compensated by pressing “Bass Boost”, which adds 3 dB to the low frequencies.
Sweetening
The full-range mode of the KEMPER Kone is extremely linear — for some of us, it might even be too linear. The
high-quality monitors/PA speakers used with digital guitar amps will often emphasize the low and high frequencies —
this makes the sound more appealing and allows for an increase in volume level without causing ear fatigue. The
