sound mixer

Studio audio technician

A sound mixer is a person who balances and blends audio elements in film, television, or music production—adjusting levels, equalization, and effects to create the final sound.

The term also refers to the equipment used for this purpose: a console with faders and controls for combining multiple audio signals.

The sound mixer adjusted the dialogue levels during the live broadcast.
