Try a couple of well placed ribbon mics.
Beyer M130 or M500's should do the trick.
Inside, you want to stay away from an omnidirectional pickup and get a cardiod or hyper cardiod type pickup pattern where the cariod portions of the mic can reject the speaker systems.
Beyer ribbons are pretty much a standard string or flute mic nice attention to detail, and the rejection pattern can be focused to keep it from ringing.
I wouldn'r recommend the ribbon for vocals though.
You might want to try a Shure Beta87a there.
