"I have the Mic connected right to the DBX 286S then connected from the output on the DBX to the interface through a 1/4 inch cable."
That's your problem. 5 years later, lol.
Anyway, 1/4" TRS into the dbx output and XLR into the Focusrite input - this will fix the issue, guaranteed.
Oh, and use Canare Star Quad cables for all of your connections. You'll notice an immediate improvement in sound and even gain a little gain.
