[Elecraft] KX3 Transmit EQ Settings

[Jim Brown]

As you may know, the 664 and 666 were EV's first "variable-D" mics -- 
the 666 was the pro version, the 664 for "PA." The 666 was known as the 
Buchannon Hammer because Lou Burroughs, co-founder of EV with Al Kahn, 
demonstrated their ruggedness by using one to drive a nail. (EV was in 
Buchannon, MI; Lou taught workshops on microphones, and wrote a great 
text on their use.)

Directional mics have "proximity effect" (bass boost when close to the 
sound source) that results from their construction -- front and rear 
openings to the capsule that cancel sound from the back of the mic. 
Variable-D mics have almost none by virtue of one or more additional 
openings along the "handle" of the mic. The EV RE16, RE20, and RE27 are 
variable-D mics.
