(Chain: RE20 ---> Cloudlifter CL-1 ---> dbx286s ---> Scarlett Solo)
No matter what I do, I cannot get the hiss to go away with this microphone when attempting to raise the gain levels up to a usable point (around 60 or so db). Using a Cloudlifter does nothing but reduce the amount of gain required on the dbx286s' preamp required to trigger the hiss. Is there something that I'm missing? Aside from the Cloudlifter (which is supposed to be completely quiet) and the dbx, there are no other sources of gain. I've been trying for weeks to get the hiss to go away; I'm so frustrated at this point that I'm preparing to give up and get a condenser instead...
