UR44 Low Input Gain

Sorry to bump the thread, but it has been over 3 months since the last reply.

Am I to assume my unit is defective? It works great for recording instruments DI, but forget about vocals with a condenser microphone. There is no way that having the microphone literally touching your mouth, so you can be heard, is normal…

If there is anything else I can try to resolve this issue please post your suggestions! Otherwise I am going to sell this interface and look for something else.
