Have you tried other input sources and do they have sufficient level?
Can you play audio through the unit and is the output level normal?

Hey thanks for your reply
Yip, connected and phantom engaged.
I'm getting around -24db with gain set to around 5:00.
I've tried the mic on channels 1 thru 8, all the same.
The U87 works fine when I plug it into my SQN4s Series IV field mixer.
I've also tried it with an MKH816T, which I am getting more level out of, but still not what I would call great.
I can play audio out of the 8PreX no problem, it's calibration is out by around 0.1db between Pro Tools metering and Focusrite metering.
When I play audio from iTunes through the 8PreX (iTunes cranked up to full, which should be 0db), all of the clip light indicators turn red on the 8PreX and Focusrite Control.
