Kemper Profiler Stage MK 2 - Profiler Preamp & Floorboard for electric guitar

Introduction: Kemper Profiler Stage MK 2 - Maximum power in a compact floorboard

With the Kemper Profiler Stage MK 2, Kemper introduces the next evolutionary stage of its successful profiling system in a practical floorboard design. This version combines the complete amp modeling system with the well-known Profiler Remote Controller - all in a single, robust device. The MK2 version comes with numerous improvements, including a significantly reduced weight, seven additional effect slots and a powerful 8-channel USB audio interface for professional recording and re-amping directly into the DAW.

Operation and performance have also been specifically optimized: faster preset changes, shorter loading times and a significantly more responsive interface make it easier to use on stage and in the studio. Another highlight is the high-resolution, sunlight-readable display, which guarantees optimum visibility under all lighting conditions. The Kemper Profiler Stage MK 2 is suitable for ambitious guitarists, touring musicians and producers alike - wherever maximum sound quality, flexibility and mobility are required.

Manufacturer: Kemper - pioneer in digital amp modeling

Kemper has made a name for itself worldwide with its profiling technology. Since the introduction of the original Profiler, countless studio and live guitarists have relied on the natural, dynamic sound and exceptional flexibility of the system. With the Profiler Stage MK 2, Kemper is now taking the next logical step: all the strengths of the Profiling system combined with the foot control of the Profiler Remote - compact, powerful and easy to transport.

The new hardware platform makes the Stage MK 2 faster, more versatile and even more intuitive to use. The integration of the audio interface opens up completely new possibilities for musicians who want to realize a professional live and recording workflow from one device - without the need for an additional rack or interface.

Technical details: More slots, more speed, more sound

The MK2 version of the Profiler Stage offers seven additional effect slots, creating more freedom for complex sound architectures. The integrated looper has been extended to a recording time of two minutes - ideal for solo performers and idea sketches. The new architecture ensures significantly shorter loading times, smooth navigation and responsive switching, especially in performance mode. The familiar operating logic with dedicated footswitches, screen editors and rig navigation is retained and has been significantly improved with faster responses.

The illuminated display is clearly legible even in direct sunlight - a must for everyday live use. The robust floor-mounted design allows use without additional accessories, and with a weight of just 4.6 kg, the Profiler Stage MK 2 is a conveniently portable solution even for frequent transportation. A matching case is optionally available (Art. 471009), which is not included in the scope of delivery.

Connectivity & recording: Professional-level integration

Particularly noteworthy is the integrated 8-channel USB audio interface, which turns the Profiler Stage MK 2 into a complete recording workstation. It enables multitrack recording, re-amping and monitoring - all without an external audio interface. The variety of connections ranges from classic jack and XLR sockets to a digital SPDIF interface and MIDI I/O. Four stereo sockets for pedals or footswitches further expand the control options.

The routing options are comprehensive: in addition to the guitar input, there are four separate returns, two sends, two monitor outs, main outs (XLR + jack), SPDIF I/O and a headphone output. This makes the Stage MK 2 the central element of any guitar or bass setup, both in the studio and live - flexible, reliable and uncompromising in terms of sound.
