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..
