Default testing for "pops"?

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.


That's a broken mike. Probably due to moisture that got absorbed due to
contamination. I'd probably call that "rumble" if it's what I'm thinking
it is. It's usually a sign the assembly facility isn't so clean.

There's no testing procedure to provoke it?
