Read below for my initial thoughts, but I just did a google since I went to a 
cisco facility the other day and saw the new cisco Telepresence ceiling mics, 
which are 4-pin mini jack and are compatible with even the low end video 
solutions such as the SX10/20, which lowers the price point of your possible 
video solution, and the audioscience I mention below is now EoL. (link for 
those curious: 
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/collaboration-endpoints/telepresence-microphones/datasheet-c78-736073.html)

If it wasn't for the malleability of the tables, I'd suggest getting a daisy 
chain unit to extend out both the speaker and the microphones across a longer 
distance.

However, if you're going to look at teleconferencing with the possibility of 
video, I'd look for an C-series telepresence codec with the XLR based 
Audioscience ceiling microphones. The configuration of those would allow you to 
suspend them around the room. This would also enable you to gain much better 
audio quality around the room, as well as be able to properly integrate 
wall-mounted displays and the such and multiple video inputs.

Short of that, an MX 7/800 series (or SX series if you already have displays) 
unit could enable you for videoconferencing with less facility tie-in, and the 
higher end units also support the XLR based audioscience mics.

We have a board room 25' by 40', that we currently have an 8831 conferencing 
unit in with the two external mics.   The unit works well but with only the two 
mics does not adequately cover the room.   Do any of you have suggestions as to 
how we can add the necessary mic coverage into the room but at the same time 
keep it neat and tidy?   The room is often use for our College's Board meeting 
and will have 18 to 30 guests invited to the meeting.   The setup is 12 tables 
on castors, that are arranged in an oval but can be separated or arranged 
differently for other events.

We do have WebEx, IM available if something there would allow us to 
provide a better teleconferencing solution.   I am think we should just do a 
full blown conferencing suite, video and tele but want to know if there are 
other solutions that I have not seen or more likely thought of.

Thanks
