Studio monitor volume controls rotation

Posted by Sumflow on July 1, 2012 at 18:57:01:
Q. What is the philosophy behind active studio monitor volume controls rotation?
Many volume controls run flat out at zero and as you reduce the volume show -10, -20 on down to -50. My McIntosh decreases turned to the left, flat straight up, boosted turned to the right. But on the Yamaha HS 50M volume control, all the way counter clockwise shows "min," straight up shows +4db, and all the way clockwise shows -10db. Where is flat?
