[SML] Microphones for Board Meeting

[Alexander Taylor (Mailing List)]

Hello,

I do this on a bi-weekly basis.  We just moved to a new venue, so there’s still some kinks to work out, I just got more gear in today actually.

We have 9 people around the table (plus a secretary), and have one Shure gooseneck for each member.  Then a Sennheiser wireless for the podium.  Those go into a mixer and we use Dugan on it all.  Feeds into the video switcher and 2 Bose L1 model IIs, which work great in our venue.

Here’s the link to our videos, hopefully things will improve soon, trying to get the setup squared away in the new venue.

>> 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:
