Two questions that folks on this group might have good answers for. The
context is that I'm upgrading the sound system for an old church. Budget is
minimal; so, thankfully, are expectations.

1) I need a mic on the piano. It needs to be able to work with lid open or
shut. It needs to be permanently attached - no gaff tape! Less than $200
would be nice. Any recommendations? (Sorry, I don't subscribe to
Recording - I saw the mention of the article there.)

2) The mic lines will need to run about 100' through a cold-air return under
the sanctuary. Am I correct that this means I should be using plenum rated
cable, rather than my old standby Belden 9451? Is there a similarly
"standard" plenum rated cable that everyone uses for fixed installs?

Thanks!
