Imprints

If I get it right Imprints can be used on FR studiomonitores. Am I right?

That would be awesome any way....

It would also be nice if it can be used in stereo on the main out. Is that possible...

Hi, Pau1968.

Imprints work only with Kemper Kabinets or Kemper Kones when used with a Profiler.

SPEAKER IMPRINTS

By simply activating the PROFILER™’s well-known Monitor CabOff function the KEMPER Kone is switched from full-range mode to the Speaker Imprint Mode, which then exactly mimics one of 19 classic guitar speakers. The sound of these imprints should not be mistaken with the mic‘ed cabinet simulations of a Profile. They rather bring back the good old "amp-in-the-room" sound.

Since the intelligence of the speaker lies in the DSP of the PROFILER, you will be able to switch individual speaker imprints along with your favorite rigs, without needing to do extensive editing. Whenever you switch to a full-range sound, for an acoustic guitar, for example, the KEMPER Kone will switch to full-range mode automatically.

Music that is fed into the PROFILER through the Aux Input will be played back in full-range mode, even when you play your amp with a Speaker Imprint, both at the same time.

Due to the digital features, the KEMPER Kone and KEMPER Kabinet work exclusively with a PROFILER.

I suggest, you put a KEMPER Kabinet on your wish list!

Thats not the whole trues, it works with every speaker you have connected to your monitor out! I´ve tested it yesterday with my active floor monitor and it sounds very nice with some of the imprints.

That's what I thought also that the imprints now can be used on FR speakers in version 8

It may work with other FR speakers but those speakers won't be accurately tuned for the imprints. If you like it then it's all good but don't expect them to sound as intended.

I have two Kemper Kones (in stereo) And I love them.

The Kones can be used with different imprints but you can also run them in ”FRFR” = with just the special designed Kemper speaker and no imprints.

However do not expect that a profile that is created with i.e. Greenback always will sound the same with the Kone in FRFR mode as compared with the Kone with Greenback imprint and the Cab in the stack section disabled.
Why? It’s not only the speaker element that effects the tone but also mik placement etc. The Kone can not simulate that.

My experience is that samtimes the sound is very similar, sometimes the FRFR mode sounds better but in general the Kone + Imprint sounds best.

That’s my personal opinion but I am far from a expert
