KEMPER Kone / KEMPER Kabinet 96
"Sweetening" parameter allows continuous control over the level of this emphasis. At full left position, there is no
emphasis at all. At full right, the low and high frequencies will be emphasized by 6 dB, while the overall volume stays
roughly the same.
Speaker Imprint Mode
By activating Monitor Cab Off, you suppress the cabinet simulation selectively for the MONITOR OUTPUT, in order
to run a traditional guitar speaker via that output, or via the built-in power amp. You have learned this in chapter
Running a Guitar Speaker Cabinet from a Power Amplifier, “Monitor Cab Off”. The KEMPER Kone mode fulfills this
demand by switching from full-range mode to the Speaker Imprint mode and offers you the choice of 18 of the finest
classic speaker imprints to choose from. You can now enjoy that “amp-in-the-room” sound — you might be surprised
just how different it is to full-range mode!
Speaker Imprint
Selects one of the classic guitar speaker simulations. The imprints are adjusted to equal loudness levels. They can
sound quite similar, especially when you play a sound with slight or no distortion.
✓ You can overwrite the global Speaker Imprint selection by Rig and cabinet preset. This selection can be found on a
second page within the cabinet module. This second page only appears if "KEMPER Kone" is selected in the Output
Section.
Directivity
The KEMPER Kone features a larger high-frequency dispersion than many traditional guitar speakers. This means
that a real guitar speaker will sound duller than the KEMPER Kone when you position your ears away from the
middle axis of the speaker. To compensate for this, you might like to adjust the color of the KEMPER Kone towards
a “creamier” sound by lowering the Directivity parameter. A nice side-effect is that the on-axis sound will also lose
some of the harshness associated with traditional guitar speakers. At Directivity set to maximum, the on-axis sound
is identical to the original.
