7.7.19 Fixed-Gain Mode in the I-Tech HD

Fixed-gain mode makes any I-Tech HD model have the same gain, regardless

of output power.

To do that, fixed-gain mode sets the Analog input Sensitivity to 0 dB gain,

then adjusts the Fixed gain compensation fader, and the Maximum

Analog input, to achieve 26 or 32 dB of gain (if the Maximum Analog Input

is set Low), or to achieve 32 or 38 dB of gain (if the Maximum Analog Input

is set High), no matter what model the amplifier is.

However, In fixed-gain mode, the input trims (Analog, AES, CobraNet) can

still be adjusted.
