It looks like your mics did not get power for a second are you using the Core sound battery box or are you going straight into your recorder?

Chris,
You nailed it - it's the battery box. Specifically, the wires (mic and deck line-in) that plug into it. The slightest movement of these wires and glitch happens. I usually keep the battery box in the same pocket as the DAT deck when recording, putting the battery box in first and then the deck. Since the wire from the battery box to the deck is so short (and sensitive), any movement of the deck will pretty much cause it to fail. I didn't get any glitch while manipulating other parts of the system (the mics themselves, the 1/8 inch connector to the line-in, etc.).
Here's a pic of that wire connector for the battery box ~
I have tried to take the black plastic encasing off, but short of really prying away at it, I can't find a way to easily remove it (it doesn't seem to be a screw-on connector). I don't want to damage it any further, so I stopped. Any suggestions for getting this off?
I got the mics and box from Core Sound at the same time. They only have maybe 30 hours of use and I've always handled them in a manner that I am sure would be considered appropriate in terms of not doing anything that might cause damage, i.e., pulling them out of plugs by grasping the wires, tossing them into the car seat instead of laying them down, etc.
Once again ~ thanks for the help.
