preamp compressor/mixer signal path

Hi Everyone,
I just bought a Drawmer 1960 pre/comp, and I have a few questions about how I should hook it up.

I want to run a couple of Neumann TLM 170s through it to record Vocals and/or acoustic Guitar.

I have a Soundtracks Topaz 24 channel desk and I'm running into a MOTU interface and with 24 bit analog inputs.

i can't seem to get my record levels up with mbox

I have an mbox and I'm trying to send a beat I made on my MPC 4000 and when I do the signal is real weak. To hear it I have to turn the gain way up. THis of course results in my other audio tracks that are from my internal hard drive to be way too loud. Any information will e very helpful.

Monitor recommendations for mastering spoken word anyone?

I mainly do spoken word recordings and have reached the point of needing to upgrade my monitors. Last week I visited Sounds True in Boulder to discuss a project I am recording for them. In their control room I was impressed by both the room acoustics and the Genelec monitors as I listened/watched as they recorded another artist.
