I'm currently using QSC K12's with my AX8. I have searched the forums and it seems most AX8/QSC K users prefer the sound of the K series with the "vocal boost" enabled, due to the K series sounding "like a blanket over the amp" with it set to "flat". It's a fair complaint, the AX8 goes from dull to near perfect with the switch enabled regardless of the amp/ir combo.
I know that if I set my patches up with this vocal boost enabled, I could run into problems in FOH situations.
My question is: has anyone had any luck mimicking the vocal boost feature in a preset with some EQ parameters?

FROM QSC:
"The K and KW series powered loudspeakers have a nifty feature called "Vocal Boost". This tailors the frequency response in the vocal range, giving a gentle boost of vocal frequencies so the vocals can cut through or rise above the other audio that might be playing through the loudspeaker."
"So, just how much boost is added when the feature is turned on?"
"+3 dB, centered at 2.5 kHz, with a Q of 0.5 (a Band Width of approximately 2-1/2 octaves)."
