comment What does the sample rate and sample size of audio means?
Explicitly: If the audio is uncompressed, then bit rate = sample rate × bit depth.

comment What is this device?
Does the white part come out? If so, does it have any electrical contacts on it?

comment Why is there no signal above 11025 in my 44100 recording?
Ways the problem might not be in the spectrogram: The microphone itself may not any sensitivity at that frequency (Apple doesn't say), or it might be filtered out to eliminate acoustic or electrical noise from inside the computer or to avoid getting close to the Nyquist frequency. If you play a tone above 11025 Hz through your speakers and record that, do you hear anything in the recording?

comment wired external video microphone interference
FYI, interference sounding a bit like morse code could be GSM cell phones — the radio protocol was defined such that it has audio-frequency components.

comment Power supply noise in cheap condenser mic: is this normal?
Thanks for your input. I called Nady and described the problem and they directed me to return the microphone. This question itself still has no answer, though.

I have indeed left it on. I turn down the input gain, but I figured hot-plugging would be basically equivalent to flipping the switch. I can see how it might not be, though.

I tried both inputs and the results are the same. In the sample recording, I physically swapped the mic and left everything else the same — input, cable, and even stand. I hadn't tried connecting both microphones at once — I have now, and the results were still specific to the one mic, but the positions of the gain knob resulting in the noise were different.
