=== Power Consumption===
[https://www.kemper-amps.com/stage Kemper Profiler Stage] 
* Approximate draw 12 watts

The Kemper Profiler with Remote 
* Approximate draws approximately 17 watts

[[Kemper Profiles How to Distinguish a Studio Profile from a Merged Profile]]

== Quick Tips ==
=== Backup/Restore from Profiler Head to Stage ===
Make sure both devices are running the same version of the operating system.

On the Profiler Head/Powerhead/Rack/Powerrack back up to USB

On the Stage restore from backup. 

The two machines should now be identical except for the following items, you will have to check.

#Global pedal assignments - the Stage has four PEDAL sockets, while the Head has two plus another four with Remote. These assignments don't automatically map to the Stage.
#Monitor Output Source - by default the Head MONITOR OUT is mono and optionally stereo, while the Stage offers a dedicated stereo MONITOR OUT. Therefore the output source of the MONITOR OUT might require your intervention.

== Rig Manager Tips ==
=== Synchronize Two Instances of Rig Manager (Windows 10) ===
{{Kemper Rig Manager Sync}}

== Performances ==

=== Naming in Performances ===
<blockquote>
Performance Name, Slot Name, Rig Name, Amp Name, Cabinet Name, other tags... are all different animals. People can use these for different purposes.

Performance Name could reflect the name of a song.

Slot Name could reflect a musical Scene e.g. "Solo".

Rig Name could reflect a combination of information like "Gilmourish SM57".

Amp Name could be "Hiwatt 100".

These are just examples.


Rig Name is normally a combination of pieces of information about provider of the Rig, amplifier, amp settings, microphone, instrument, purpose of the Rig.... It can be edited when you store a RIG (Store/Rename) or in the Rig Settings under Rig Tags (also Rig Tags in Rig Manager).


As long as Slot Name equals Rig Name, both change, if another Rig gets loaded into a Slot. Slot Name follows Rig Name. As soon as Slot Name and Rig Name deviate, the Slot Name sticks and doesn't follow, if you load another Rig. Slot Name can be changed in Edit/Slot Settings or Rig Manager.


Amplifier Name is one of a whole bunch of amplifier tags, which can be edited in the amplifier module under Amp Tags. The same applies to Cabinet Tags.

=== Factory Content: Performances ===
Here are the Kemper Performances that are factory installed with new Profilers (all models) as of this March 2021. I'm providing them here in case you need to re-install them.

[[File:Kemper Factory Content Performances.zip|Kemper Factory Content - Performances]]

#[[File:Kemper Factory Performances 1.png|300px|right]]Extract the zip file into a folder. There are seven Performances. These are files with the extension .performance.<br>
#Open Rig Manager
#Arrange your desktop so you can see the contents of the folder and Rig Manager at the same time.
#<br>[[File:Kemper Factory Performances 2.jpg|400px|right]]Drag the Performance files (one at a time) to any New Performance<br>All Performances<br>- My Profiler<br>- - Any Performance called New Performance<br>Warning: If you drag a Performance on top of an existing Performance, the existing one will be overwritten.
#Put your Profiler into Performance Mode and enjoy.

== Kemper Powered Kab ==
Every Profiler and the Kemper Power Kabinet is perfectly matched in level.

In difference to an external power amp, it is impossible to hard-clip the power amp of the Kabinet.

'''For higher volumes, the analog volume control on the Kabinet should be set to maximum. <br>Then the volume is solely controlled by the Monitor Volume and the Power Amp Boost.'''

== Factory Reset ==
From Kemper support:

1. First, consider creating a backup as this process will delete all user data and reset all global settings.

2. Upgrade to the current PROFILER operating system release software. If your Profiler is currently running a version older than 7.3.2 you need to update to that version first. You can find it here

https://www.kemper-amps.com/do…8/Older-Software-Versions

3. Switch the PROFILER Head or Rack model off and press and hold soft button 1 (left above the display) while powering it on into tuner mode. If you are a STAGE user press the soft button 1 and the SYSTEM button and power the unit on.

4. Keep holding the soft button until "System Maintenance " appears on the display.

5. In maintenance mode press "Recovery", "Init&Factory Content", "Yes", "Ok".

6. Then press the Reboot soft button and reboot or simply restart the PROFILER with the chicken-head knob.
