Double Bass Realist Signal level

I've recently begun mixing my realist with a mic through a small tapco mixer. Even when I turn the trim all the way up I can't get a hot enough signal off the realist. I can compensate by turning the master up, but that gives me a lot of hiss with the signal. Is there anything I can do about this?
