From what I understand, the AKG has its cartridge suspended in a shock mount so when it gets a sudden blast of air, the coil backs away from the source. That may be causing a natural compression of sorts. Try backing the mic off a little and if you still have the problem when you compensate for the volume then I might be worried.
Also, open the mic up and check for damage and loose wires.
