Focal CMS65 front dial: gain or input trim?

Does the so-called "volume" dial on the front of the Focal CMS65 control the gain of the internal amp? Or is it simply an input signal trim?

I looked at them when I was monitor-shopping a while back. I think its likely an input trim before the amps but I can't be positive. I went with the Solo6 Be's and their adjustment is labelled trim as well.

It's an input trim - so at maximum, it's a 0dB and at the minimum, it's at -66db

Thanks.

Any chance that Focal will come out with CMS Twin in the future? I really like the cast metal enclosures of my CMS65
