Methinks there is Somewheres (note the forced plural!) in your hardware
setup one or more pieces with bad shielding and/or bad grounding. The
problems might not be limited to cabling - they could be something
inside your hardware.
A possible candidate - your fireware audio interface w/ microphone
pre-amp. It may be originating the hum in the first place, and the mic
pre-amp makes it really loud.
