NT1A/PB224/MZ-NH1 test

Upon attempting my first use of this combination, I was surprised at 
the amount of handling noise I got, compared to what I get with just 
a Sony MS957 in the NH1. And it's different--with the MS957, it 
sounds like handling. With the NT-1A, it sounds like loud clipped 
static electricity, and happened when I thought nothing was moving. I 
had the NT-1A in its shockmount propped on top of the car, with the 
rest on the reat seat.

The test below was in my back yard (highway about a mile away), with 
everything on the ground. Half way through I purposely picked up the 
mic, somewhat carefully. I wasn't able to upload this to the Groups 
file area for some reason.

I don't see any voltage switches on the PB224 despite the manual 
making reference to it. I have this cable between the NT-1A and 
PB224, Pro Co XLR5         http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/XLR5/ and
Hosa YXF-247  http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/YXF247/  from 
the PB224 to the NH1. One of the XLR ends is not attached to anything, for now.

Does this sound like the usual handling noise from this type of mic?
