I tried finding information for the Fostex 380S but couldn't...
You want a microphone preamp if:
- Your microphone needs phantom power and your mixer don't have this option.
- Your mixer doesn't have built-in preamps
- Your mixers built-in preamps sounds like crap
* OR *
- All these answers
Hope I helped a bit,

If it has an XLR jack and a trim knob then you are probably okay. That doesn't guarantee a super clean signal but it should be usable.
