Hello.
When you place the Stage on a carpet floor or in a carpeted case, because of the Stage's weight and the carpet's softness, maybe the Ventilation Grill gets too close to the floor.
What do you think?
Official information on this would be very valuable.
I recently got a pedalboard case and I don't know if I should remove the carpet under the grill. And if I return the case, I'm worried about those carpeted stages.
Thank you!

The best (and quickest) way to get Official information would be to contact Kemper Support.
Would be nice to get an official answer to this. It is a ‘Stage’ unit after all so should be expected to be used mounted on a pedalboard.
Just use a common sence and make sure you are not blocking the ventilation Grill.
I think this is a legitimate question. The only ones that can offer accurate advice on the operating limits of the device are Kemper and this is a perfect place for it.
When i mounted mine on a pedal board i cut out a square he size of the vents.
what happens when the ventilation is blocked by accident for a longer time?
unit fails or unit turns off?
You have to assume that they've designed it with the ability to protect itself from thermal overload rather than baking itself.
If it’s made for stage why did they put the vent on the bottom ??♂️

Ever experienced spilled beverages on stage?

I disagree. If you're using it as your all-in-one, there's no reason to put it on a pedalboard. Even if you're using some outboard gear, you wouldn't necessarily want/need to mount it to something.
If the carpet it sits on is deep enough to cover the vents, something as basic as a piece of cardboard cut to size (or plywood, plastic...whatever).
This under each foot would also prevent it from sinking in:

I have to disagree with you too, especially as you have no idea what my gig/festival needs are.
It does need to be mounted and has been with no problems since I posted 4 months ago.
Thanks for the update though.

I had been using the Temple Audio Duo 34 but I have since stopped using the pedal board now that I have figured out how to get a good wah tone. If you do need to use a pedal board though the Temp Audio boards will not block the vent as long as you dont put their mounting plate over it.
I am enjoying the smaller footprint now, Even have my Duo 34 up for sale now.

Hence my use of the word 'necessarily'. Your comment suggested it 'should' be mounted to a board, which isn't the case for all situations.
*Of course* I don't know your specific situation. Sheesh.

Yet, you felt the need to quote my post in particular and comment on it.

That’s generally how it works when you respond to someone’s post.
My „Ventilationgrill“ looks different to the others that I have seen on the web. Sorry for my bad English, but I don’t know how to describe it. my grill looks like a lot of small wholes. Not like the pictures with long wholes... did Kemper redesign the stage? How can I check the production date of a Kemper? Maybe some other things have been improved... like the Buttons?!
There you can see my ventilation-solution.
Pedaltrain Novo boards are perfect for this „problem“. Using 3M Duallock that I can screw in the wholes of the Stage-feet (I think they were mentioned in this forum). Thinking about getting a smaller Novo for the smaller gigs. But right now, this is perfect for me.
Strange, the Pic here is with the vent in the middle, mine is on the left side.... Anyone else has it on the left underside?
