Sounds like an impedence mismatch problem to me. Your mics can be über-fantastic and if there's an impedence mismatch between them and your (in this case) Omega, the sound will be crappy and thin. It's an electronics thing.... A proper mic pre can definitely solve this problem -- if in fact this is the problem.

I'll suggest one other thing: check to make sure that your cables are wired correctly. Check to see if your Omega requires pin2 or pin3 to be hot on the XLR connectors.
