  • Generally they are shotgun or hypercardiod although they can be cardiod. Common mics are the Sennheiser 416 / 816. Ww1925 (talk) 19:51, 29 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

Proposed merge of Perchman into Boom operator (media) edit

Just seems like a synonym for what a boom operator does, but in France. The references for this article describe a boom operator. Seems like a bit of "Po-tay-toe vs. Po-tah-toe" in my book. Explodicator7331 (talk) 19:54, 28 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Redirected, as there was nothing unique to merge. Interestingly, the French article was already connected to this page rather than the other. Klbrain (talk) 19:33, 16 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
