At our school, we have Crown PCC-130 floor mics. They work fairly well, though I have had little success using them for sound reinforcement on or near the lip of the stage. I have, however, used them on the lectern and on a table with pretty good success. As far as hanging mics, we've used Shure SM-81's suspended above the stage, but I would personally never use them for sound reinforcement - the sound is very airy and because of the height involved, I would get very little gain before feedback. Perhaps someone else has had better luck using floor and/or hanging mics for sound reinforcement?
