What mic are you using?
Are you using an XLR to XLR Cable or XLR to 1/4 RTS connector to the Omni

Make sure Mic is selected and the 48V button is lit.

Hey,

This may be a silly question, but have you tried changing the Input trims in Hardware Setup for your Analog inputs? I too was getting very low signal with my outboard gear until I changed my Input Trim Settings.

Just a guess. Good luck!
