<<Looking again at the file, the pops occurred at 1 min 17 secs for one 
mic, then 2 min 15 secs for the other, the pop lasting less than 1 
second. Not sure if I'd just powered up the SD702, or if it was 
already on for a while before I started the recording. Only happened 
on one track out of a dozen or so. A bit disconcerting though.>>

OK, definitely not the usual pop of a condenser getting current applied. That 
happens in the first couple seconds & then it's stable within generally no more 
than 5 seconds. Perhaps what you had is just a new mic getting broken in. 
Hopefully Sennheiser has identified the problem & improved their quality 
control.
