K3 deminished audio response

N8XPQ
I am curious if anyone else has noticed that the lower end of the audio spectrum from maybe 400hz to 50hz seems to be diminished in the K3. I have been comparing the audio in my Kenwood TS-2000 to my K3, and there seems to be something missing the the K3's response. The Kenwood seems to have a much "richer" and natural sound to it. Is this an individual occurance or is this something that has already been covered and I amy have missed it?

Yes, compared to some other dsp rigs, the K3's ssb receive passband is a bit rolled off on the bottom end.  However, by setting shift/FC=1.45Khz and using RX EQ and filter center freq adjustment, my K3's ssb passband is flat down to 150hz before rolling off.
