Would the sound be efficient enough for a luncheon for about 300 people with someone speaking through a mic?

Hello Justin. It would depend on the size of the room but it should be sufficient if the room isn't too large. Thanks!

With a good mic easy. I have a cheap mic and it sounds like crap. I bought a set of Shure PGXD24/Beta58A Digital Wireless System with Beta 58A Mic and it sounds GREAT!

It's very portable. And the battery is awesome. Sounds gets a little distorted on the max volume (bass). But I've never needed to turn it up that loud. The mic is a nice feature. So I'd say unless the room is enormous with 200 people. It'll be more than fine.

Yes, I've used it with GoToMeeting as well and it works. Obviously the quality is better if it's a smaller room. Make sure the speakers are not too close by because the mic will pick up the sound coming out of speakers and you'll get feedback.

It would probably be overkill for a podcast, unless you're hosting a 5-piece band as part of your show. This mixer is really for full-band live performance. If you're looking for something to mix voice and some other sounds your best bet would be something with many fewer channels.

I would say if you are listening in a bedroom or study area and not trying to crank the volume, you should be fine. I use mine with multiple speakes in my study and get a full and dynamic sound out of floor speakers at pretty decent volume levels

I have a 12'x24' conference room with a 4'x16' table in the middle of the room that seats 4 people on each side. I have a CM-1000USB microphone in the middle of the table and 2 CM-1000 microphones attached to it on each side (about 5' from center). In a recent meeting, with people in the room and people in several remote locations, the presenter wandered around the room constantly. Even though the presenter wasn't wearing a microphone, the 3 microphones on the table picked her up so well that people in the remote locations had no difficulty hearing the presenter. Note that our meeting software has an audio meter and I am able to adjust microphone volume in Windows, if needed. I rarely need to adjust microphone volume (unless there is somebody who is, truly, softspoken talking). Note, as well, that multiple CM-1000's can be daisy-chained into each of the 2 channels of a single CM-1000USB. I don't recall the recommended maximum number of CM-1000's per channel but I have heard of people using 3 or 4 in each channel without any issues. By the way, when daisy-chaining, it isn't necessary to have an equal number of CM-1000's in each channel. It is okay to have 1 in one channel and 2 in the other channel.

I doubt that the speaker could take much unless the volume was really low. It's a great practice amp for guitar.

Generally speaking yes of course. The variables you need to consider are the size of the room and distance from the microphone of each participant. Assuming you use the built in microphone in a reasonably quiet environment, you will pick up voices very clearly from several feet away. If you use a high quality omni directional microphone, you will do even better. It is really designed to work at close distances. But if a small group in a quiet room, it will have almost no trouble. There will certainly be some noticeable variation in volume if some are much far the from the mic, but in the center of a circular table it should be fine. Generally speaking yes of course.

Depends on size of church...we used it in a community social hall for a show and they worked well. We were able to use the 8 mics at the same time, but that may depend on the sound system in the church. Price is good. Sound man was able to keep feed back noise down.....that depends on the sound system you have.

Our regular phone system units have very poor "speakerphone" audio. We bought the Voicestation 300 to allow provide much better audio quality, which it does. Our experience has been limited to placement on a small-ish conference table with four or five people, all sitting in relatively close to the Voicestation. It uses a fairly large and heavy power unit where all cables, phone and Voicestation power, plug in.

I've had no issue with speaking volume and use just my normal speaking voice. The mic is sensitive and like many competitors background noise in a crowded area like a restaurant can be prevalent.

I have used this speaker and microphone several times in a very large room with 50 people. It should be powerful enough for a banquet hall with 80-85 people unless the acoustics are bad. I don't recommend plugging into the same electrical outlet with a laptop and projector as that could produce static.

The camera would be fine although someone needs to man the remote to move it as appropriate. The microphone would not work well at that distance, I ended up using a MXL AC-404 (from Amazon) and it works flawlessly. I also route the sound out of this to portable speaker system if the crowd is more than 10-15 people, otherwise the built in speaker is fine. Our tech club has used this to webcast large meetings (40-60 people) in a large multi-purpose room (2000sf) and using the other microphone and the speaker output, it makes for a very professional presentation. In a much smaller venue, the device itself would be sufficient.

This will not work for you. It is for 8 people who are speaking. some sort of in ear monitor system would probably do what you need.

If all the people will be on front of the mic, it will work great. This mic records from one direction only, if you'll be interviewing from the back of it, that might be a problem.

This would work really well for that. The only problem I could think you might have. The mic picks up everything so is there is a lot of background noise you will hear it all

Plenty of sound for average sized room party (I would say up to 300 sq ft with a dozen people) . No idea what other two speakers you mention are capable of.
