I'm not sure what you're asking here.
Are you talking about how easy P-popping is?

"C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis."

One professional sound engineer made the following report about a pair of
Studio Concepts C-4's I'm receiving today:
http://www.harmony-central.com/Recor...ects/C4-1.html
He said, "and in each set of mics at least one mic created low frequency
pops. This probably wouldn't be a problem if used on a kit but even close on
a piano this was audible."

Rather than wait for the situation to present itself, I'd like to qualify
these mikes.
