I should correct myself in that the 2400 Hz center is a half-octave between the stated upper and lower value. The remaining values are full-octave steps. The half-octave step of 2400 Hz affords some control in a critical listening area.
Some folks have replied privately that what should be a 1600 Hz center on the K3's latest firmware is actually 1200 Hz...perhaps a legacy value left over (either missed or perhaps it was deliberate?) from the prior change. Whether it's 1200 or 1600 Hz is really immaterial. The important consideration is that they made the right move with the other frequencies and it appears they have. Nice work guys!
