Richard,
Silent in this case means silent. No sound, nothing, nada.
- infiniti DB, or digital sample values of 0.
IOW, as loud as no mic attached...
As for your statements that trim controls are not always ment to be lineair, that's indeed new to me. I haen't seen it on any mixer i've used, and i can't understand in what situation it could be handy.
Humans think/move close to linear, not to log.
Besides, i can't believe it was intentionally on this thing, sicne it's being sold as a mic pre-amp. And having just a few degrees making the difference between overmodulating and no recording at all ain't the way i can work...
So i was hoping for something else i've missed.
