[Elecraft] more Bass in K3 with PR-40

[Scott Manthe]

Those are good recommendations, Joe. I agree with working close on 
studio mics. The proximity effect was my good friend during my broadcast 
career. I've got a good voice, but working close to the mic made me 
sound like one of the "big voiced" guys.
