[SML] Microphones for Board Meeting

[nathan best]

Good Day,

I was recently asked to mic a board meeting at my college, and having never
done this, I'm at a slight loss on how to go about it. The setup is usually
tables set in a U shape with close to 3 people around the outside. The
organizer wants to have everyone micd, but I don't have the equipment or
board capacity to mic each individual. I was thinking of putting either
SM58s (I have a bunch) between pairs of people, but I think the table top
stands might look a little tacky, plus space is limited by binders or
materials, lunch, etc. My other thought is to use some boundary mics, but
I've never really worked with these, so any recommendations on quantity and
placement would be most helpful. I'm looking at something like this:

Should it be cardoid or omnidirectional? Either way, I'd have to purchase
the boundary mics. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you
