Kemper Profiler to Bose Portable PA
Contents
ToneMatch Mixer
Set everything flat on the ToneMatch mixer and control the guitar sound on the Profiler. If necessary, use the zEQ or ParaEQ to solve acoustic issues at the venue. That is: Use the Profiler to create your guitar sound. If necessary, use the zEQ and ParaEQ on the ToneMatch to deal with the environment. That way, when you move to a different environment, you don't have to make changes to the Profiler.
Connections
Connect the Profiler Main Output to the ToneMatch mixer (since the ToneMatch mixer is the input to the FOH (Front of House)).
- XLR connection. This is a balanced connection and it is preferable
- 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) Tip-Sleeve (Ordinary guitar cable). Avoid using this connection when you have cable runs in excess of 20 feet (six meters).
There is no advantage to using a 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) Tip-Ring-Sleeve cable because the 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) Profiler outputs are unbalanced.
- Profiler Main Outputs
- These are your main stereo outputs. Use these outputs to connect to a mixing desk in a recording studio, or to the front-of-house mixer in a live situation. These outputs deliver the entire Rig: amp, cabinet, and all effects. You have a choice of XLR (balanced) or quarter-inch TS-jacks (unbalanced). The XLR outputs are protected against 48V phantom power fed by a mixing desk. However, you should avoid feeding phantom power into the PROFILER if you want the best audio quality. Like all inputs and outputs, it offers a ground lift to prevent a loop hum.
