It is a C03U multi-pattern and I reckon it's rather good,
but the problem with it is I get such a tiny signal from
it connected direct to the computer and can't see any way
of increasing it before recording. Should I be using some
sort of pre-amplification or is it better to jack up the
levels in the recording - I'm having to increase the
signal at least +6dB..??


Why are you concerned about increasing the signal by just 6 dB?
