; Kemper Outputs summary
[File:Kemper Profiler IO Head-Stage.jpg|600px|Kemper Profiler Outputs]]
* All XLR outputs are balanced, line-level
 
* All 1/4-inch outputs are unbalanced, line-level
;Analog Outputs PROFILER Head, PowerHead, Rack, and PowerRack
; L1 Pro Inputs summary
 
* All XLR inputs are balanced, microphone level (not a good match for the Kemper XLR outputs)
MAIN OUTPUT L and R: XLR balanced, %-inch TS unbalanced with ground lift, output level: XLR +4 dBu, TS +4 dBu
* All 1/4-inch inputs 
 
** Tip-Ring-Sleeve inputs are balanced, line-level (best match for line-level sources)
MONITOR OUTPUT: %-inch TS unbalanced with ground lift, output level: +4 dBu
** Tip-Sleeve inputs are unbalanced, instrument-level
 
DIRECT OUTPUT/SEND: %-inch TS unbalanced with ground lift, output level: +4 dBu, output dynamic range: >108 dB
 
HEADPHONE Output: %-inch TRS stereo, 32-600 ohms, 330 mW @ 32 ohms, 220 mW @ 600 ohms

MONITOR OUTPUT L and R: %-inch TS unbalanced with ground lift, output level: +4 dBu SEND 1 +2: %-inch TS unbalanced, output level: +4 dBu, output dynamic range: >108 dB


* Use XLR Female to 1/4 inch (6.3 mm) Tip-Ring-Sleeve cables (XLR to Kemper, 1/4 inch (6.3 mm) Tip-Ring-Sleeve to L1 Pro)


;Short answer for short cable runs [[File:TSUnbalanced.jpg|thumb]]
* Use 1/4 inch (6.3mm) Tip-Sleeve to 1/4 inch (6.3 mm) Tip-Sleeve cables from any Kemper 1/4-inch output to any L1 Pro 1/4-inch input

:Connecting a line-level source (such as mixer output) to a mic-level input will cause the sound to be loud and distorted because the line signal is much stronger than what the mic input will accept. Inputs and outputs on many mixers are switchable for either mic or line-level operation. If the mixer has the option to switch the output to mic-level, then you can use the XLR inputs on the L1 Pro.
