I will be plugging them directly into my Edirol R09. Should I always use the input jack as opposed to the mic jack? I remember having distortion problems with the low end binaurals going through the mic line.
I have them and always use mic in with no distortion,but i am using the battery box with bass roll off though.
If you run line in, with no battery box or preamp, you won't get a signal, because the mics need some power. The Mic-in jack can provide some power (probably 3V). Some mics are able to record louder music without distorting when they use a 9V battery box instead of that 3V from the R09. I'm not sure if the DPA's are in that category or not.
I run the standard CSB's, with their battery box, line in to my R09.

I have the R09HR. I run my HEB's "mic in" on the low gain setting for loud rock shows and high gain for acoustic stuff. peace OOK
Either will work (I assume you are actually going mics>BB>recorder).
It's preferable to start with line-in and, if you can get a good signal, stick with that.
If you can't get a high enough signal that way, MIC in on low will do the trick.

Thanks for all the helpful hints!
