Here is a recording I made in audacity to show my hiss/whitenoise problem. Volume on the mic is at 100%. I'm talking about 4 inches from the mic at a normal conversational level. I don't have anything with me to compare it to. I will try to borrow my friend's yeti to record on as well.

nubrigolI'm having the exact same issue, no issues with the volume. But for reference I have a Blue Snowball which by all accounts is a pretty cheap USB mic but as it stands with the static/hissing the Blue Snowball outperforms this mic which is a real shame.
I've sent an email out to the CAD support to see if there can be any resolution with this which is clearly a widespread issue.

samhughelI have been in regular contact with CAD Audio about the matter and they have been working diligently to recreate the issues some of you seem to be experiencing. I myself have tried and have not had the same problems with either volume or static. I used the mic in different rooms, on different computers, with multiple ports and cables and USB interfaces; not a single issue. It is important to note that placement is key to using a professional grade mic.
These mics have a designated pole pattern, meaning if you are speaking into it from above or too far to the side, it will not pick up your voice. I would recommend alternating your placement and position in relation to the microphone if you haven't already.
That being said, CAD wants to ensure that everyone gets what they wanted: a great microphone!
There will be an update from them soon, so please check back periodically.

FadingfictionWhy? I don't know if they are doing in compression/post processing when they record, which will affect the sound of the recording.
