If this is really hum - a constant low frequency drone like sound -
then the first thing to check is the cable. 

Or is it noise - a hissy sound with no particular frequency ?
The UA25 is not really low noise, but for speaking close to the
mic it should be perfectly OK. 

Could you make a short (30 second or so) example available
somewhere ?
