RE: Studio monitor volume controls rotation

The printing is not off at all.

The +4dB setting is meant to be used if you feed them a pro level balanced signal (nominally 2.83V) and the -10dB setting if you send them a consumer level non-balanced signal (nominally 0.7V).

Consequently they will be louder with any given signal on -10 than on +4 as the on-board amps make up for the 11.79dB difference in the two.
(It is 11.79 difference because one is actually referenced to dBu the other dBV but I keep forgetting which is which.)
