I am just thinking out of my head and clutching straws here but I can tell you what I have experienced.
I owned a Focusrite briefly. The odd time I hit a snag and through my inexperience couldn't figure it out. I decided to sell it for something that was supposed to be better.
Later and completely unrelated, or maybe it was. I hit another snag with something else. It was some noise picked up on the meters although nothing like yours. By swapping sockets and mic cables, I discovered that these can also contribute to some low end noise to various degrees. Why? I simply have no idea because my electrical knowledge is basically zero.
My point is........ By elimination with the cheapest means first may put you on the right track. I do own a Rode NT1A and it is quiet. I should imagine with noise like yours on the meters it would easily be audible in playback. But it isn't, which is strange.
Reaper and Audacity............ It is a comparison which will cost you nothing, but may help point you in the right direction to your problem.
