Power Rack making loud Pop the turn On and Off

Zapler0 · January 22, 2016 at 2:32 PM

Hello !

I have a problem with my kemper Power Rack : When I turn it On or Off it makes a loud POP even with master on 0 or tuner Mute active. Is it normal or should I worry ?

Thanks

I do not know exactly what you sense as "loud", but yes, mi KPA also pops when it gets fired up or shut down. It doesn't even depend on whether the master has some volume or whether it is set at zero.

As being used for years to a tube amp with standby switch, which is engaged before shutting down/firing up, this is something that I still notice every time, but I am meanwhile getting used to it

Loud means for me louder than expected from the low Master settings i'm using. What firmware is yours ? Mine is 3.2.1

Nothing to worry, nevertheless the next firmware release will fix an issue with a pop noise when being switched off.

And even when switched on Timo? Or that can't be fixed in software?

Good to know that will be fixed
