You could always have something like a Tech 21 Power Engine hooked up to the monitor out. That way you can still play when the computer is off.
Monitoring/recording connections

... A mixer would be way cheaper tho!
Also, chances are his soundcard works with the PC off as well. -
There is another option for monitoring without additional mixer, without 2nd set of speakers and independent of sound card capabilities:
Connect monitoring speakers to KPA Main Output or headphone to Headphone out.
Use S/PDIF for recording.
Connect the playback/monitor signal from sound card to KPA Aux input.
In KPA output settings turn up Aux In.Connections:
KPA - - - - - - - - - Sound Card
S/PDIF out ---------> S/PDIF in
Alternative Input <-- main/monitor out R
Return Input <------- main/monitor out L
Main Output R -----------------------------> monitor speaker R
Main Output L -----------------------------> monitor speaker L
(Headphone --------------------------------> headphone)Additional advantage of this approach is lowest latency monitoring.

I will be using 2 Yamaha's DXR12 soon, but 'I'm a bit confused how to connect them...
The main outputs are for the PA system, Can I use monitor output and direct output to connect the Yamaha's in stereo? (
I read a lot about the connections, but would like to have a confirmation just to be sure...
Thanks! -

Yes, exactly. -
Or, you might use the thru socket to PA. It should be independent on how you set your monitoring levels.

@ Krikke: Maybe this is interesting too, check it out.

I just got the Yamaha's DXR12, and I'm really happy with the sound.
Only, with both levels on -10 on Monitor volume and Direct volume, the volume on both DXR12 is not the same...
The volume of the direct output is less than on the monitor one...
In the output source menu I set up both monitor and direct output on Master mono, do they must be recieving the same signal from the Kemper...
Of course the volume on both DXR12 is the same...
Anybody knows what could be the problem?
Thanks for the help! -
