what battery for tie-clip mic?

[NNSW]

I've got a tie-clip mic form Jessops - a TMM1000. And I've lost the info which says which battery to get. I took it into Jessops and they had no idea!

I am going to be filming some presentations with the cam at some distance. I've also got a cheap old mixer, a Realistic 'disco' mixer,
with two mic channels. It works well enough if the output is a tape recorder but when I output to the mic socket of a camcorder (using a PV Low Z mic) the sound is unacceptably distorted.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

the output of the mixer is at line level
mic input of the cam is beleive it or not mic level,you need a mixer that outputs a mic level signal,not sure but you might be able to get something to do a conversion but its gonna pick up a lot of noise

the batt you want is a LR44 (little round watch battery type thing)

Thanks for that. I've got the battery and it's fine.

Thanks also for the info on mixers. I didn't realise there was a distinction between 'line' level and 'mic' level.
