Kemper Profiler PowerHead MK 2

Kemper Profiler PowerHead MK 2 - Profiling amp with integrated 600-watt power amplifier

Introduction: Kemper Profiler PowerHead MK 2 - The classic amp with real power

With the Kemper Profiler PowerHead MK 2, Kemper is expanding its successful Profiler series with a powerful MK2 version with an integrated 600-watt power amplifier. This model is aimed at guitarists who want to exploit the full potential of Kemper Profiling technology - both live and in the studio. Thanks to the compact desktop format, the powerful Class D power amplifier and a wide range of connections, the device can be flexibly integrated into almost any setup - from classic guitar rigs to modern hybrid environments.

The unique Kemper profiling technology remains at the heart of the PowerHead. It allows precise digital recording of amplifier setups including speaker cabinets and microphones. The sound can then be further refined with internal tools such as equalizers, effects and detailed amplifier control - far beyond what the original hardware offers. The device comes with hundreds of high-quality amplifier profiles, providing ready-to-use sounds - custom profiles are possible, but not mandatory.

Manufacturer: Kemper - sound control at the highest level

Kemper is one of the most innovative brands in the field of digital amp modeling. The system developed in Germany enjoys a worldwide reputation for reproducing guitar amps more realistically than any other technology. The Profiler products enable detailed sound design that opens up new creative possibilities for traditional guitarists as well as modern producers and performers. Kemper continues this philosophy with the PowerHead MK 2 - including practical upgrades and an integrated power amplifier for uncompromising live performance.

Technical details: Versatility, fidelity and power combined

The Profiler PowerHead MK 2 is a genuine all-in-one system for guitarists who don't want to compromise. The integrated 600-watt Class D power amplifier delivers enough power for all live scenarios - the full 600 watts are available at 8 ohms and 300 watts at 16 ohms. This means that even large stages can be mastered without an additional power amplifier or speaker simulation. At the same time, the device is extremely easy to transport at just 6.5 kg.

Compared to the first generation, the MK2 version impresses with faster loading times, an improved performance mode and a more responsive user interface. The familiar workflow with dedicated controls, rotary switch for the operating modes and clear button structure is fully retained. In terms of sound design, the device also impresses with up to four simultaneously usable floor effect emulations, comprehensive tone control and internal master effects - including equalizer, delay, reverb, modulation and more.

Connectivity & application possibilities: Perfectly equipped for live and studio

With its versatile connections, the Profiler PowerHead MK 2 is suitable for practically any application. In addition to classic line and guitar inputs, the device also offers a microphone input for creating your own profiles. The setup is complemented by separate outputs for direct, monitor and master (each as jack and XLR), S/PDIF for digital signal routing and MIDI In/Out/Thru for controlling complex rigs. Two footswitch connections enable the integration of controllers or expression pedals, while backups, updates or DAW integration can be realized via USB. A network output also enables connection to Kemper Remote or software tools.

Whether as a compact practice tool, studio processor or live workstation - the Profiler PowerHead MK 2 is flexible enough to play to its strengths in any environment. Especially in hybrid setups with external hardware, MIDI control or digital recording via S/PDIF, the device shows its class as a control center for modern guitar sound.
