I use that mic on the TS440 and I keep the preamp off. I've yet to see a
situation where the pramp improved things. I doubt that the 2000 needs it.
If it's working now, I'd leave it off. The 440 does provide power for it
and perhaps the 2000 does too. On my model, there is an on-off switch for
the preamp on the bottom of the stand. lou
