I disagree. The line input with a battery box is much quieter than the mic
input. My experience with the same mikes and recorder are better with the
line in.

I just recorded a rock group outside at a New Years party last night, and I
used the line in and the battery box. My levels were set at 26 and it sounds
great. That left me enough headroom to compress it a bit to bring out the
parts that were low in the mix. If I wasn't going to master it, I probably
could have set it at 27 and come close to 0db.

That is likely the problem.  The impedance on the line and mic inputs is
very different on the 702; they cannot be used interchangeably, even with a
battery box.  Try using the mic input.  And don't use the battery box; the
mic jack provides power, so you probably do not need it.
