The best answer I can give is to suggest that you study (not just 
read) the tutorial. Then study the sections of the K3 manual that 
describe the equalization and the processing. Once you really 
understand the concepts (the tutorial), it becomes obvious that 
Elecraft has done an excellent job of providing all the equalization 
and processing you need to make your audio sound great and be very 
competitive. It's also very easy to set up, once you understand the 
concepts. 

BTW -- there's also some additional graphs of how mics behave in 
http://audiosystemsgroup.com/HamInterfacing.pdf  I'm currently 
working on adding them, along with the associated discussion, to the 
tutorial. 

With ANY audio adjustments, the final test is what it SOUNDS like. 
Good operators ALWAYS get reports from good ears on the other end of 
the QSO after they've done the first round of tweaking. The 
broadcast guys tweak and listen, tweak and listen, tweak and listen.
