Now available with a super light Neodyme Kemper Kone speaker, the Kemper Kabinet offers guitar tone monitoring with a choice of 19 classic guitar speaker imprints for Profiler players with their Kemper Profiler PowerRacks and PowerHeads. 

With just around 10 kg (23lb) of weight, it is lighter than its predecessor, features the built-in slanted stand, known from the Kemper Power Kabinet, and comes with a dust cover. 

The Kemper Kabinet is specially designed for the Profiler. The Kemper Kabinet is a combination of the new Kemper Kone NEO neodymium loudspeaker and an exclusive and unique speaker tone mining technology developed by Kemper, making it possible to digitally “imprint“ various speaker characteristics onto one single cabinet.

For the new build-in Kemper Kone NEO speaker, Kemper replaced the conventional magnet with a modern lightweight neodymium magnet, providing the identical magnetic field and identical sound of the “classic“ Kemper Kabinet.

The 2022 TecAward nominated Kemper Power Kabinet already features that same Kemper Kone NEO speaker, making it one of the lightest active cabinet for guitarists.

The Kemper Kabinet can be driven by the power amp of a Profiler PowerHead or PowerRack, as well as by utilising any external solid-state power amp. When using external stereo amplifiers, driving two Kabinets in stereo is possible. The unpowered Profiler models like Rack, Head, and Stage require also external power amps for driving the Kabinet NEO.

Kemper announces availability of the approved Operating System Version 8.6 for the KEMPER PROFILER Guitar amp and FX System.

PROFILER OS 8.6 adds a new FX device to the roster with the KEMPER Double Tracker which turns mono signals into a stereo double-tracked signal in real-time as if two guitarists were playing the same track left and right.

While most double trackers use traditional means of chorus and delay to create timing and pitch differences between the tracks, KEMPER utilises a dedicated time-stretching algorithm to create the crucial timing variations, independent of the pitch fluctuations. A little pinch of random timbre variance complements the perfect double tracker experience. As a novelty, KEMPER has added the “super-stereo” effect that has been initially introduced with the new delay algorithms in PROFILER OS version 5.0. already. It tremendously widens the stereo panorama of the double-tracking and lets the tracks appear well outside the regular stereo image.

The Double Tracker is best enjoyed in spread stereo, as it is usually utilised in professional recording mixes. Therefore, KEMPER recommends placing the Double Tracker in a module post the stack section.

The straight forward Double Tracker parameters are:

• Looseness – Sets the tightness or looseness of the double tracking timing.
• Detune – Adds a slight additional detuning to the two tracks, in the fashion of an Air Chorus. The Detune is just an option and not crucial for perfect double tracking. Leave it at zero if not desired.
• Stereo – Controls the stereo width of the double tracking. Plus or minus 100% is regular stereo. Higher values establish the super stereo effect.
