A boom microphone is a directional microphone mounted or attached to a pole or arm. Primarily used in film and television, a boom microphone frees the hands of actors or reporters while allowing them to enjoy the amplified audio of a traditional microphone. Boom microphones can also be used to amplify a group conversation, as it can be positioned so that everyone’s voice can be heard.
