RE: Studio monitor volume controls rotation

Well, a potentiometer attenuates and only attenuates. Therefore, "flat," meaning no attenuation, would be the -10-dB setting regardless if whether you are balanced or unbalanced. There is no such thing as a no-gain position because the potentiometer has absolutely nothing to do with gain. The speaker has built-in amplifiers with fixed gains that never change regardless of the position of the potentiometer. The potentiometer is basically out of the circuit when set to -10-dB in the sense that it passes the incoming signal without attenuation. At any other position, the potentiometer attenuates the incoming signal.
