I recently bought a Shure SV100 dynamic microphone that came with an XLR-1/4'' cable, which I'm plugging into a Focusrite Scarlett Solo 2nd gen. interface. This interface has two input jacks: a line/inst 1/4'' input (which I'm currently using with the mic) and an XLR mic input.
While the sound quality is pretty crisp, I'm getting very quiet recordings even when I turn the pre-amp up all the way and even if I'm standing really close to the microphone. Would using an XLR-XLR cable and plugging the mic in the XLR jack help with this or would it be the same?
