Hi Phil,
         In your recording I see an overall higher noise level and 
the difference among the two modes of powering is limited to 3-4 dB 
in the range 500Hz-6kHz. I can't know if your higher noise is due to 
the mics, to the AD converter, to the gain you applied, or to the 
environment. In any case the noise increase due to battery powering 
in my microphones is completely different, even if considering the 
audible bandwidth only.
