The powered Kemper produces 600 Watt @ 8 Ohm or 300 Watt @ 16 Ohm.
A 16 Ohm speaker will be not as loud as an 8 Ohm speaker.
4 Ohm speakers are not recommended. -

Thanks... knew about the power but 4ohm was my concern ... with 2-8ohm cabs..

You can make or buy a cable that will allow you to run the two 8 ohm cabinets in series (16 ohms total load).

good to know about 4 OhmThanks
PowerHead and PowerRack can be used with 4 Ohm speakers. However there is a power limiter in the power amp avoiding, that 600 Watt are even exceeded, which would be possible with 4 Ohm loads. So, whenever you reach that 600 Watt ceiling there is a short sound break. As long as you stay below 600 Watt, there is no issue. Nothing will break anyhow. And normally 600 Watt should be sufficient . Details can be found in the manual.

Thanks, you just made my day. I've just realized that I have been daisy chaining two 8 Ohm Atomic CLRs for more coverage with my power toaster, and I was worried I fucked things up. I have a nice 1000 watt power amp that I'm going to use instead now. Thanks again.
