Power Kabinet -Stage Turn On/Off order

Coverland · June 4, 2021 at 11:51 PM

Hello all, just got my Power Kabinet and I was wondering if there is any specific order to turn it on like you do when using Monitors.

My logic tells me to turn my Kemper Stage first and then my Power Kabinet... but at the same time the speaker is not the same as other FRFR monitors.

Am I being a bit exaggerated? Is it ok to just turn it on with the volume down ?

thank you all in advance !

No problem asking questions.

If it were me, the sequence to turn on would be Stage - Kab. Then reverse it to turn off. You want to prevent popping when power is abruptly cut (on or off). Beyond that, wherever the volume sits shouldn't really matter, so it's just what works for you.

I have a powered rack and turn on first then (click ON the power amp option on the profiler) for the unpowered kabinet. You hear a little pop but I was told that is normal. Then I reverse the process for shutdown.

I have a powered head and just leave the power amp on without any issues. Yes there is a little pop but nothing I am worried about. Maybe I'm just too lazy to turn the amp on and off or turn volume down when powering down.
