Nobody can tell you anything you know it all, for the rest who work with this gear I am providing valuable information on the set-up and alignment of the Gainmaker gear. as per the manufacturer recomendations. I am well aware of the practices of changing padding. BY changing the interstage pad you are derating the gain and why do you want to do that? and you Countdown of all poeople should know that as you obviously read the I/O guides the information I am posting is clearly printed in english.
