Equalizer band range

Yogesh Marwaha
Greetings,

Can someone please tell me why the gain for frequency bands in
equalizer-10bands plugin range from -24dB to 12 dB? Why is it not
-24dB to 24 dB or -12dB to 12dB or so (i.e. at par from 0)?

Thanking you in anticipation,

because its logarithmic. +12bd is already quite a boost. -24 because its useful
and safe to make a band much quieter that the others.
