Hi Peter,
Yes, that should be possible. I did that with two EM172 capsules connected =
to one channel of the PCM-M10. The voltage was floating around between 0.4 =
and 0.6 V. Four capsules would of course make it even worse. I believe that=
such a low voltage would also increase the effective output impedance of t=
he capsules. High output impedances generally increase the risk to pick up =
electromagnetic interferences, which would be an explanation for the interf=
erences that you faced.
The recommended PIP battery circuit can be found in the data sheet:

The capacitor determines the cutoff frequency of the high pass filter that =
is formed by this capacitor and the input impedance of the recorder. A suit=
ed value would be for instance 220 or 470 nF.
Regards,
Raimund
