[SML] Microphones for Board Meeting

[Steven Hood]

A pile of 58s could work, but they are going to be very dependent upon your people speaking loudly enough to pick up from a distance. The 58 isn't very forgiving that way.

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:
