What about placing a sound-catching, open backed lectern that captures sound and resonates up the top into the mic and you are fighting between getting enough gain to make the mic of any use and the feedback.

You missed my point Arny. You are a know-nothing blowhard who shouldn't be trying to dispense "advice" on live sound. Phildo
