The Kunlun Infrared Sky Survey will be the first comprehensive exploration of the time varying Universe in the infrared. A key feature in optimizing the scientific yield of this ambitious research program is the choice of the survey passband. In particular the survey aims to maximally exploit the unique thermal and atmospheric conditions pertaining to the high Antarctic site. By simulating the expected signal-to-noise for varying filter properties within the so-called "K_DARK" 2.4um window, filter performance can be tuned and best-case designs are given covering a range of conditions.
