Hiss in recordings.

Am I correct in assuming hiss is a product of the microphone? Do mics becom=
e more prone to hiss with age, humidity, low phantom power or low battery p=
ower. Can faulty cables between the mic and the recorder increase the level=
 of hiss. Should mics be returned to the maker after some years for mainten=
ance. I use Senheiser and Rode mics. Any suggestions or advice on how to re=
duce hiss would be very welcome. I have a built in Hiss filter as my hearin=
g cuts off at 5KHz but the hiss degrades recordings for others. Stuart.
