fonico / microfonista
sound recordist / sound technician / sound operator / sound engineer - microphone technician


Explanation:
The other answer is perfect but I think that a "fonico" is more than a "sound technician" as he performs many tasks, including mixing.

I think that SOUND ENGINEER includes all his tasks.
