Yes.

That's not the microphone's fault (unless it was faulty), you're doing 

other factors; what do you have it plugged in to (including cabling and 
where it is routed), how loud is your source and how close is it to the 
mic, what is the background noise like in the room etc. It's perfectly 

standard PC sound card in a normal quiet room. I've done it before and 
didn't have any issues with hiss.

Isn't hiss by definition all frequencies? If you want to filter out set 
frequencies that's easy, even Audacity can do that, but you won't get 
rid of hiss like that.
