any mic would do, just get a tiny one, maybe a lapel dynamic mic from radioshack which would be tiny and should work if you crank it up. those are only 20 bux too. of course the best would be a condenser mic, like a sony minidisc microphone, but those are about 90 bux, but will get clear signal from the whole room.

Sounds like a job for a cheap PZM, something like:

Try searching for 'boundary mic' - although commonly

referred to as 'PZM's', the term is apparently

copyrighted to Crown, thus tends to draw a blank in
