Kemper DI output louder than it's input?

  • Hey folks!

    I was tracking some bass yesterday and decided to get the KPA involved, so I tried splitting the signal output; one amp + cabinet signal through the Kemper's Main Output Left, one unprocessed DI signal through the Kemper's Direct Output/Send. These signals went into my Metric Halo LIO-8 input 1 and 2.

    Got both signals into the interface as expected, but the DI channel came in way too hot, clipping the input on the LIO-8. The Input meter on the Kemper never flashes above green when playing the bass, so the signal going into the Kemper should be well within acceptable levels.

    So, I'm assuming pilot error on my part, but what am I doing wrong here? Is there any way to attenuate the Direct Output signal inside the KPA? Plugging the bass directly into the LIO-8 results in a clear signal without any input clipping.

    Thanks for taking the time to read this, hope someone can help.
