Can someone tell me the range of gain applied for the low & high settings ? I can't seem to find it anywhere ...

Anyone ? I know the overall gain range is 12 - 65dB, just looking for the ranges in the low & high settings ...

I thought it was in the manual but I couldn't find it..  If you decide to call apogee and ask, it would also be interesting to know whether the low setting is done via attenuation.

Yeah the manual only has the overall gain range of 12-65dB but not the range of the low & high settings. In any case I did call Apogee and it seems as if their tech guy thought it would be in the manual as well. He even got in touch with one of the engineers who worked on the design of the minime, who also thought it was in the manual.
Sooooooo at this point he took my number down and said he will look into finding an answer. Unfortunately I forgot to ask him about whether the low setting is done by attenuation, hopefully when I get the call back I actually answer so I can throw that question at him as well, stay tuned ...

EDIT: Just got the callback and the "rough" ranges are as follows:

High setting: 30 - 65 dB
Low Setting: 10 - 45 dB

These were, as the tech told me, "rough" numbers as the manual does state a minimum of 12 db, hence the 10 dB on the low setting. Also he said the low setting is NOT done by attenuation.
