[SML] Microphones for Board Meeting

[nathan best]

The powers that be want to basically be able to hear each other clearly.
I'm thinking conversation level volume, not necessarily speaker at a podium
volume level, but just some reinforcement for everyone. I'll have a sound
operator in the room most of the time (sometimes they don't want the staff
in the room if they're discussing something "sensitive").
