Thanks guys thanks Matt

Yeah I tried no phantom power and that didn't do the trick.
Tonight I skipped using my mic pre and went from the mic's power source box into my mackie mixer... Hardly any noise at all... Perhaps none whatsoever.

That is cool so now at least I can SELL it.....

I didn't buy a two thousand dollar mic pre so that i couldn't run any mic through it, but instead have to use the pre on my mixer.

So I'm glad it doesn't make noise going straight through a mixing board. Goodbye!

My set up is weird. The MX24 24 track recorder has the snake coming in and out of it's Analog to digital card. Those cables all go to my mixer accept the first 4 channels of my mx 24 they are for the mic pre.. I by pass the mixer and send those into my patch bay.

This way the mic goes through the patch bay to the compressor
and then straight to the 24 track machine...

I'll try with and without the compressor as it may be set incorrectly. It should be on +4 but who know what's going on back there anymore. I can't climb back to check
