You just need a correct preamp, what were you using?.

Thanks for the reply Nigel ..The preamp was a purchased so called gen purpose preamp,unfortunately i do not have the spec sheet for it with me at the moment. (at work). from memory it was to give me aprox 1v output but I do not have the equipment to test properly any more. At this moment in time all I can tell is that i have no gain from the original signal...a little frustrating.

Presumably a 'general purpose' preamp may not be suitable for a mike?, or if it is, it may well need configuring to be so.
