It could be a mechanical noise, picked up by the body of the microphone. Try a soft pad or a cushion under the microphone stand, or try simply laying the microphone on a cushion.
How do you sleep? How much do you sleep? If you sleep bad or too little, it could be for that. If you don't sleep well, you can take one or two melatonin tablets.
I would put speakers and workstation facing the 3m wall, near the wall, with an acoustic treatment on the other walls to prevent echo.
Better, you could make a glass wall (1,5m high) at about 3m from the back 3m wall, positioning workstation looking at the glass and treating the back wall.

- The foam anti pop can modify the sound. Try without it.
- Remove the grille and wash the anti pop inside with water and soap, then let it dry completely (you can use an air dryer).
- Look at the capsule: some iron powder or sand with iron could be attracted by the magnet.
- If you used the...
Hi
I see only now this discussion.
The first thing you have to do about the noise is discover where does it come from. Disconnecting the microphone is not a good test, because noise raises if you let input disconnected! The microphone at the input acts like a load for a voltage divider for the...
There is no reason for a damage connecting or disconnecting a microphone with phantom power on. It's similar to connect or disconnect a bulb!
It's different if you short pin 2 or 3 to ground: in that case, the audio transformer inside the microphone (if it is not electronically balanced) can be...
Changing microphone you will not solve your problem!
If the Clarett goes in clipping, you HAVE to lower the gain. If the signal is too low when you sing quieter, this is not a problem. You can:
- Sing not too loud
- Sing not too quiet
- Sing closer to the microphone when you sing quieter

I'm listening by audio technica ath-m40 headphones. The 2020 recording sounds very good, but you are speaking very close to the microphone; the other one is very quiet and thin.
Hi
For the mics, consider also Sennheiser E838 and Rode M1 (used, if you like).
For speakers, used EV ZX-A1 and Italian RCF. If you find good used stuff, you can have reliable equipment for an affordable price.
Hi, Cat
The main problem is your very quiet voice. In the last recording it's louder, then the signal/noise ratio is better. The noise is not from electronics, but it's really acoustical noise in your room.
The first thing to do, then, is to minimizing it. Where does it come from? Only you can...
Reading the schematic diagram, I see that inserting signal in the "HI" input a relay is energized and the signal for the output stage is taken before an attenuator. Using the "LO" input, it simply reduce gain before the output stage. In this way, listening at low level, the noise from input...
