Battery Box to mic-in questions

I am no rookie nowadays when it comes to recording, but i got very suprised when i listened to a recording i made a few days on my MZ-NH700 (at 18/30). The sound is distorted but not in the usual way, it only seems to concern the bass (one channel when listening with earphones). Real weird. Have used exact same setup earlier this summer and it was fine. The only thing i can think of is that i accidently put the Battery Box into mic-in. My questions. How would it sound ? and can it hurt/overpower my mics ?.

Mic to BB to mic-in is almost the same as mic to mic-in, only with a slightly higher voltage. The signal is preamplified, distortion is more likely to occur when recording loud sounds. There's a coupling capacitor between BB and mic-in, so there's no interaction regarding DC voltage. The mics would get the same voltage as if the BB was plugged into line-in or not plugged in at all.
