Hi Steve,
When a mic is plugged into the front panel mic jack (there's one on the
rear panel, too), it can interfere more with the bottom dual-concentric
knob than the upper. AF GAIN is used far more often, on average, so it
deserves the less-impacted panel position.
Headphone plugs are skinnier, and can even be obtained in a right-angle
style, so they remain out of the way. (Of course you can plug your
headphones into the rear panel, too.)
We back and forth on this a few times, but on balance it's easier in
the new location.
73,
Wayne

I am curious as to why the volume control was moved from the
