That's how it's connected.  There's nothing else.  XLR from the mic in

the DI box, 1/4" from the DI box to a 1010LT input.

Not only there's signal, but it is actually quite loud with the mic at

about 8 inches, away from the guitar sound hole - more like pointing at

the bridge.

Never heard about these mics before.  I looked it up - seems pretty

good from the description.  Original shape.  But this one needs +48v

phantom power, which as far as I can see now, would require a new DI

box.  Saw it listed for $299.  Plus new DI box, that exceeds a bit the

budget.
You noted that w/o a phantom power the output would be too low.  Which

is not the case in my setup.  Is the role of phantom power in mics one

of amplifying sound vibrations only ?
