OT: room mic recommendations



Title: OT: room mic recommendations

I need to mic a room (~25' x 50')  to supplement the wireless lav mic worn by the main speaker. The purpose is to provide some modest sound reinforcement for folks at the rear of the room,  and for recording the various speakers and audience response.   Just need a good clean mic signal, doesn't have to be very high quality or very 'sweet' since none of the speakers will have the mic right at their mouth.   

I'm thinking a dynamic (cardiod?) mic  would on a stand out in front of the podium would adequately capture the speakers who are not wearing a wireless mic as they move around the podium.

As an alternative , I thought of a PZM confererence table mic like the old RadioShack/Crown mics. But not sure there is sufficient available surface area on the podium.

Budget is low.  Would a sub-$100 mic be sufficient for this?    Such as a Samson?  Or  one of the less expensive Shure 's

Recommendations?
