Hey so I really hope someone can help.
Current set up - AT2035, Scarlett 2i2, iMac, Logic Pro X
I've had my AT2035 for 2 years for recording guitar now and it has run without a hitch. I love that mic to death.
But in the last few weeks, I have had a problem which is only getting worse. Terrible hiss/static. When I plug in the mic, 50% of the time I got this hiss that would abate if I left the mic standing for a few minutes.
But now, it just won't go away. If you listen to the attached sample you will hear that at first, the hiss is there but not terrible, and as soon as I talk into the mic it comes back with a vengeance, goes away again, and then comes back when I talk again.

It's driving me crazy. Can anyone think of what the problem could be? I've tried different USB inputs, different cables, resetting the focusrite, updating the drivers, moving the mic away from the computer completely, but nothing is working. HELP!
It's worth noting, my room is not treated, however I have had 2 years of perfect use with no hiss or static in this untreated room until now. I can't think of any factors that have changed other than the mic is somehow broken.
