Thank you for your inquiry. The AT8031 would be a suitable replacement.

The MB 4k requires a minimum of 11V DC to operate ( a max of 52V DC). When supplied with at least 11V DC, yo are correct, you would not need the battery.

The MB4K can indeed be used 4' away to mic a choir, and should pick up the audio quite well. However, how "well" a microphone can pickup is also dependent on the performer(s), mix engineer, and the expectation of the user. You might have to experiment with microphone placement and/or add another microphone to get the sound you're looking for. Another good resource is: - http://blog.audio-technica.com/audio-solutions-question-week-far-away-will-microphone-pick-sound/ If you have any further questions, please contact the Audio-Technica United States (ATUS) Audio Solutions Team at: audio-solutions@atus.com Thanks!

Although not a typical use for the MB4K, it can mostly definitely be used for indoor dialog for a short film. I definitely recommend trying the microphone to see if it sounds good to you, and gives you satisfactory results. If it does not, or if you have any questions, please contact Jam Industries/Erikson Audio in Canada, as they are the Audio-Technica distributor/representative for Canada. http://www.jamindustries.com/markets/pro-audio-and-lighting/erikson-audio Thanks!

Generally speaking, the AT2010 will perform better than the MB4K in a live-performance scenario. However, ANY microphone (be it Audio-Technica or competitor) with an audio-system, has the propensity to feed-back. This could be due to the placement of the microphone as it relates to any loud-speaker, or gain-structure. Typically, you would want to keep your loud-speakers away and pointing in the opposite direction of any microphone. For any additional correspondence, please include your original question and this response, and contact the Audio-Technica United States (ATUS) Audio Solutions Team at: audio-solutions@atus.com Thanks!

Thank you for your inquiry. You do not need to remove the battery for phantom power use, although if you plan to always use phantom power you may want to remove it in case it leaks. Only the top half of the head shell unscrews, not the lower half.

Thank you for your inquiry. There is no ATMB4k, only an MB4k and an MB4k/c. They are the same microphone. The "/c" model includes a cable.The photos you mention where the microphone has a chubbier body are not photos of either model. They appear to be photos of the MB1k Cardioid Dynamic Microphone.

Thank you for your inquiry. If your recorder provides phantom power the microphone will work. The MB 4K is a good vocal microphone.

Thank you for your inquiry. The MB4K is a fairly sensitive mic and has a wide frequency response which would make it a very fine microphone micing a choir.
