I purchased a 3U Audio CM1 SE Teal earlier this summer and, when I received it, there were loud distortions that sounded like wind noise. The capsule was dirty and after I cleaned it, the mic sounded great. Just this morning, though, the problem returned. I opened it back up and there were no clear things to clean out, but I tried quickly anyhow and it didn’t make a difference.

I made up a test track demonstrating the problem by comparing the same audio as recorded by my Beta 57A and the CM1.

Is this kind of thing a known issue with the CM1s or something more broadly connected to regular LDC maintenance? Is it dead or fixable? I'd welcome any advice you might have! Thanks.
