I know nothing about the Axis or the Scarlett 2i4 interface, but the two parts above where I added bold text are areas that may have an effect. Having the input on your Scarlett all the way down at 0 may not be letting any signal through at all. You might try turning the level on the Scarlet up a little, maybe to 9 o'clock to see if any signal comes through. Also, on the Axis, if the input level is at -15 dB, you will probably have to turn that up some, I would suggest perhaps 12 o'clock to get signal into your mic preamp. I could be all wet here, but it seems like no signal could get to your preamp and even if there were, no signal can get through the Scarlet at your current settings. As Derek pointed out, until signal flows through the preamp, you may not see any movement of the Axis meters. These different settings might be worth a try... If you do start to get a signal through your preamp and interface into your DAW, then I would turn the input level on the Scarlett down as much as you can to minimize input noise on that preamp. However, you may not be able to go much below 9 o'clock. With my preamps, my input level on each channel is at about 12 o'clock, my output level is at about 3 o'clock; on my interface the input level is at about 9 o'clock for each channel. Thanks, Glenn

I’m just glad I found the issue with 48v power supply not working on the Axis (even though the indicator lights were on). I knew it had to be something obvious.

Agreed this wouldn't be the source of your problem, but when you connect an external preamp to your Motu Ultralite you'd ideally want to use the XLR connector on the preamp output and a 1/4" TRS plug into the interface. I've had great service from Redco on cables.

Glad you found your problem Bob.
Quality control these days is usually so good that we tend to get used to things working correctly right out of the box. - Glenn

Not the only problem, maybe. I'm guessing the XLR part of the interface's combo connectors only works at mic level, and the "line/inst." switch only affects the 1/4" part of the connector. I could be mistaken.

That's why I ordered the Motu with dedicated line inputs. It actually arrived today but I need to get the Axis swapped out.

Update on the Axis. Ted with Soundpure sent me an email on Sunday night thinking the issue could be a ribbon cable inside the unit that could have come unplugged. I opened the unit up and sure enough there was an unplugged ribbon cable. Once plugged back in, the mics got power and the VU meters woke right up.
So Kudos to Soundpure for being responsive on this. They are the kind of company I like to do business with.
