-61 is 61db of attenuation, as you turn to volume nob "up"...you get less attenuation so the numbers go down to show this. The 0db point is no attenuation, ie...2 volts in....two volts out.

NAD Negative powers on Volume Control?
Any idea on the philosophy behind this? I recently purchaased an NAD L72 Integrated home theater amp/tuner whose volume control starts at -61 and goes up. By 1 substantial volume has been reached-- why do this? I scaled down from McIntosh, their manuals are quite detailed but NAD offers few explanations for any of its features.
