Exhibiting the problem on both 3032 mics at once is the unusual part.
There were some, narrow emphasized bands in another 3032c pair we
studied but none that I'd call, "big." I would think that your
dealer would be happy to send any mic back to the manufacturer with a
glaring defect. You could make a broad bandwidth recording outside
and include a sonogram showing the spike when you send it back.

Quite likely you could with the proper EQ plug unless the noise is
widely distributed and not narrow.
