> Microphone 30 -16,000hz > 2.2K Ohm Could be the wrong impedance for your soundcard mic input. My mics are between 50-600 ohms, although I do use a mixer.

Bear in mind that using more gain on the soundcard input will probably cause noise. Ideally you want the mic to have a fairly high level output so that not much pre-amping is needed. This is where battery-powered condenser mics come in handy. Cheers Daniel
