Is that your setup or is there a mic preamp involved?
If not you will HAVE to use one to get the signal that comes out of the
microphone to a proper working level.
Also I'm wondering that  you get any signal at all through a passive DI box
having no phantom power...

My mic preference on a budget would be the "Bluebird" by Blue,
which has a very pleasant harmonic distortion in the lowmids, and is pretty
cheap too.
Not so on a budget an EV re20 or AKG 414 or a combination, relying also on
room size and acoustics.

Hope that helps anyway..
Moshe
