I had the mic plugged in for a couple days and had 0 issues with it besides it being very sensitive but now when every i talk there is a very noticeable static noise whenever i talk. Had this issue once but it when away after a restart on my pc.

Here is a link to hear the noise: https://vocaroo.com/1Ip3W9Z1d8o

Did you ever fix this? Using anAT2020 with a scarlett 3rd gen as well and now its input has static with it as well.

I did fix this. The scarlet wasnt getting enough power. While using my laptop I get static. When using my desktop there is no static.

I am unsure if this is just a solution to my issue but i recommend trying to provide more power to the unit.
