    I’m taping a interview with 4 people on a sofa.
    I’ll have to use a fixed mic off of a c-stand and
    boom pole. Any suggestions on the best mic to use
    with the 100a?

    Do you own any microphones now, if so what?
    If not, what is your budget to spend on a solution?
    Will the intended mic remain stationary on the boom, or will an A-2 move the mic over each person as they talk?

    I own no sound gear at present. Budget isn’t
    a problem for a rental. The mic will be
    stationary, overhead, center, front.

    If budget isn’t a problem, since you are renting,
    why not also “rent” an audio engineer and record the audio properly
    rather than just hanging a stationary mic overhead, as the sound quality will be less than pleasant.

    Lav mics on each person run through a mixer would be optimal.
    Or an A-2 on the boom pole with a shotgun.

    No it’s not an omni-directional mic. It’s
    what a sanctimonious twit calls a boom
    person. Said boom person would be booked not
    rented.

    Well since you seem to already know the answers to the questions you are asking,
    The sanctimonious twit who does this for a living will just say,
    Good Luck with your shoot!
