Broadcast Audio Engineer

Los Angeles, CA

We are in the process of opening up a new stage in Los Angeles  and are looking for local crew workers to call upon when the need arises. These gigs have the potential to fall on nights and weekends.

As the intermediary between performers and our virtual audience, the Broadcast Audio Engineer should possess an excellent understanding of live sound. This includes knowledge of commonly-used

• audio sources (instruments, vocals, processors), 
• capture devices (dynamic mics, condenser mics, DI boxes) 
• processing tools (EQ, compression, gating, reverb, delay)
• playback methods (amplifiers, speakers, headphones)

Responsibilities for the Broadcast Audio Engineer include:

• Creating I/O patch sheets, based on artist intake forms.
• Constructing a balanced broadcast mix that consistently stays within streaming loudness standards (-14LUFS.)
• Digital console (Allen & Heath SQ5) signal routing - sending aux and matrix mixes to the video department and throughout the building. 
• On smaller shoots where no A2 Engineer is present, creating and managing performer monitor mixes.
• On smaller shoots where no A2 Engineer is present, setting up a simple FOH mix for studio guests.
• Operating and troubleshooting a limited number of wireless microphones. [Shure QLX-D.]
