Everytime I turn this on I am experiencing a rumble-static like noise, as if you were lightly exhaling in the microphone. It is getting quite annoying and was wondering what the problem was? I am using Mavericks 10.9.4 and cannot find any drivers for the Mac even thought some other forum recommendations have been to download the latest driver as it fixes the problem with mavericks?

Have you optimized your Mac for audio production?

Does this happen just when you power the mic up or does it continue? Many mics will
make a noise when first powering up if you have the volume turned up. If this is the
case then all is normal.....just keep your volume down until everything is powered up.

Are you handling the mic or moving it around when this happens? Condensers will make a lot of noise when moved around. Thats what the shockmount holder help to get rid of.
