Too many variables. Including the most important variable... our respective hearing. In general, I agree with what Varometer wrote. For me, the mid cut can vary from about 700 Hz to 1.5KHz, with a Q from 1 to 3, and a cut of 3-12dB. That's a HUGE variation depending on the guitar and the room. I also think the K&K needs the highs boosted with EQ, or "restored" with a mic or IR convolver like the TonDexter.

My theory is that a well installed and placed K&K system will "hear" all of the bass, mid and high frequencies inside the guitar, just like a mic would. But, the lower frequencies, like any internal mic, dominate the output signal. So, by cleaning up the low and mid frequencies, you can start to hear the highs come through better. Then, depending on the volume of your stage, you may need to boost them even further to make them cut.

Hope this helps
