KEMPER Kone / KEMPER Kabinet 98
• You can run KEMPER Kones in stereo using the Monitor Stereo function, either in full-range mode or Speaker
Imprint mode. Since the intelligence resides in your PROFILER, all connected KEMPER Kone chassis benefit
simultaneously. The PROFILER Stage MONITOR OUTPUT is stereo by default.
• You probably use Direct PROFILEs in your live set, such as acoustic guitar sounds or bass Rigs. Direct PROFILEs
are indicated by having the cabinet module set to “Empty” and feature a full-range sound. Running a full-range
sound through a traditional guitar speaker will sound unpleasant. Therefore, in Speaker Imprint mode (Monitor Cab
Off active), when switching to a Direct PROFILE, KEMPER Kone will automatically switch to full-range mode for that
Rig. No preparation required!
• If you are using the KEMPER Acoustic Simulator effect, you are advised to switch off the amplifier and cabinet
modules. This again makes the KEMPER Kone automatically switch to full-range mode for that Rig.
• You might want to use Direct Amp PROFILEs which have cabinet module set to “Empty” for running an electric
guitar into the Kone/Kabinet, without using a virtual cabinet in the cabinet module and feeding it to a mixing desk
through the MAIN OUTPUT. In this case you still need to establish an active cabinet in the cabinet module and then
save the Rig. If you don’t, your PROFILE will be interpreted as a Direct PROFILE and played back in full-range
mode. To make this process easier, you could activate a cabinet and LOCK it, so that it stays active for all your Rigs.
It doesn’t matter which cabinet you choose.
• A signal on the Aux Input fed to the MONITOR OUTPUT by using the “Aux In >Monitor” control will be processed by
the KEMPER Kone intelligence as well. It will always be processed in full-range mode, even if you play your Rigs in
Speaker Imprint mode (Monitor Cab Off active).
• Use two cabinets equipped with KEMPER Kones as a mini PA, maybe for a spontaneous party. Feed your music
into the Aux Input in stereo, as classic PROFILER models activate Monitor Stereo, use a stereo power amp into the
cabinets. Only the guitar-speaker-like dispersion will make your cabinets sound different to a regular PA.
• The ultimate KEMPER Kone setup: Play guitar along to the stereo input using the speaker imprints, while the music
plays full-range, through the same cabinets.
• Pure Cabinet is naturally available for KEMPER Kone as well. As you would expect, it is only perceivable in full-
range mode, where the cabinet module is also fed to the KEMPER Kone. In speaker imprint mode, Pure Cabinet
does not influence the tone.
