I have a problem with a hissing microphone. I use a Shure SM7B microphone, Focusrite Scarlett Solo (3rd gen.), DM1 Dynamite Preamp and Roland RMC-B10 cable. This is connected to a MacBook Pro M1.
I have the Gain on the microphone input set to 50%, this allows me to speak into it comfortably from a distance of about 8cm (3.15 inch).
At this setting, however, I find the hissing noise too loud. You can listen to a sample here:

The room is quiet and I also tried surrounding the microphone with a curtain to eliminate the possibility of outside noise. I moved the microphone around the apartment to make sure it wasn't external interference.
Is this much noise normal with my setup? If not, what can be done about it?
