Sure is a good choice. It's often what the cops use for interview rooms.

And it sounds crap. Trust me. I've tried it for broadcast in a real room
with the real gear.

Interview rooms are also usually pretty dead and quiet. I doubt the OP's
meeting room is.

The PZM will eliminate reflection problems from the table surface. If
that is your only problem, it'll be fine. If that isn't your only problem,
and the room is too live to begin with (which is usually the case but not
always), it will be much too hollow.

Three very tight spotmikes are your best choice from an intelligibility
and clear solid voice standpoint, but they might not look right on-camera.

Interview rooms are also usually pretty dead and quiet. I doubt the OP's
meeting room is.

That's another set of nightmares.
