RE: Studio monitor volume controls rotation

Posted by Ivan Beaver on July 10, 2012 at 16:16:36:
One way to think of it is the numbers indicate how much level (in dB) is needed to drive the speaker to full output.

That is why the numbers get larger as you turn the level down. It takes more and more drive to get to the same level.

If the knob was calibrated in voltage-it would be the same way-the more the knob is turned down-the larger the number would be.
