Cross-posting from AskMe. If anyone's got ideas for recording a huge group of people, lemme know! I will buy you a cookie! Or at least I will wish I could buy you a cookie!

40 is a lot of people. What quality? What is your budget? Transcription quality or broadcast quality? How much background noise already exists in the room?

I would through down a few boundary mics. That's my solution to everything though.

I would throw down.

Background noise: Hopefully not a ton, but it is during a lunch (we're hoping they'll be done eating before the talking starts).

Quality: I need to be able to understand it (and I'll be attending the event, so I'll have heard it live) in order to turn it into an essay/article.

I sent this to my wife, turtlegirl. She's wicked busy right now, but perhaps she can chime in. Good luck.

The Zoom H2 mentioned in the AskMe thread is probably the optimum solution for budget versus quality.
