22 KEMPER PROFILER
Input Source Select
♦
You have the choice of four different physical inputs: Front Input, Alternative Input, Return Input and S/
PDIF Input. Unlike the other parameters of the Input stage, the Input Source setting is global and not rig-
specific. It will therefore not be saved in a local preset.
All four inputs have different applications, with two being dedicated to reamping purposes.
1. Front Input
•
The standard instrument input with high impedance and low noise.
• 2. Alternative Input
The high-impedance Alternative Input is located on the rear panel. You may find it useful in rack setups,
either for connecting the instrument directly, or through a wireless receiver. It is a bit noisier than the front
instrument Input, but this is only an issue for guitars with a soft output level, applied to heavy distortion.
Even when Input Source is set to Alternative Input, it won"t work when a cable is still connected to the
front Input.
You can still use Mono Effect Loops when using the Alternative Input, but avoid using the Stereo Effect
Loop; it uses the Alternative Input as the Right return input for the loop, and the PROFILER does not auto-
matically compensate for this situation.
• 3. Return Input (Reamp)
The Return Input can be chosen as an analog, studio-level input for reamping purposes. Either the TS input
or the symmetrical XLR input are available as the Return Input.
Read the next chapter carefully to learn more about the dedicated reamping features.
• 4. S/PDIF Input
The S/PDIF Input is typically used for reamping from an audio interface. A S/PDIF signal is stereo by defi-
nition, however only the left side is taken for reamping. Read the next chapter to learn more about the
dedicated reamping features.
If no S/PDIF cable is connected, or no S/PDIF sync signal is detected, the Front Input is still active.
