  • 7+ years of proven experience supporting large-scale productions, touring, or medium to large size performance theaters or amphitheaters.
  • Demonstrated expertise in theatrical, concert, and event audio mixing.
  • Deep knowledge of professional audio systems, signal flow, and system integration.
  • Deep knowledge of audio networking including Dante, AES67, and AVB.
  • Strong understanding of acoustics and audio device selection and placement.
