ma-100 versus ma-200
would someone kindly advise me why i might need the ma-200 versus the ma-100? how can four mics be utilized instead of just two - what are the advantages and situations where this may be necessary? thanks in advance to all. regards, jack

The XL-1 can be set to 4-channel audio recording, but at a much lower quality level than the 2-channel rate. You'd only use it if you absolutely had to have 4 discrete channels and could accept the quality loss.

The MA-200 have a better shoulder support and a BNC connector. But theses features doesn't worth the the price (almost twice the price of the MA-100).
I own an Ma-100 I am really satisfied.

ma-200
I have a ma-200 having stepped up to one from the 100. I did it for reasons which to me were important. I wanted BNC out for work I do and use a Anton Bauer setup for power for light and cam and wanted the use of two mounts. One for wireless and one for battery...
If you are doing it to get 4 channels of audio, its not a good enough reason in my opinion. If you are going to need and will using 4 channels on a constant basis save the $350 spend another two or three hundred and buy a used shure fp32. If you are only going to be using 4 channel once in a while rent a mixer for those times. That said the shoulder stabilization is much better than the 100 of course Ive got a few pounds more back there with the ab's so thats a improvement there alone. m
