Production Sound Mixer

Wire & Wood is hiring a Production Sound Mixer for their acoustic listening room in Greeneville, TN. This role covers the full scope of live sound production, from pre-show stage prep and soundcheck through front-of-house mixing and stage management across solo acts, acoustic duos, and full band performances. It suits a working sound professional who is comfortable operating a digital console in a live music venue and can take ownership of the technical and logistical side of each show.

About the Role

The Production Sound Mixer at Wire & Wood operates within a professional live sound environment built around a Midas M32R digital console, handling everything from intimate singer-songwriter sets to touring acts and open mic nights. A typical show day includes reviewing stage plots and input lists, building the stage from the ground up, running soundcheck, mixing the performance, and coordinating artist timing from load-in through final bow. The venue also runs a multi-camera recording system with OBS, so familiarity with audio routing for live recording or streaming is a plus.

Key Responsibilities

• Read and execute artist stage plots and input lists, communicating technical requirements with performers, management, and Wire & Wood staff before each show.
• Set up and test microphones, direct boxes, monitor wedges, stands, and cabling for configurations ranging from a single acoustic guitar to multichannel band setups.
• Run front-of-house mix and stage monitor mix simultaneously, maintaining gain structure, EQ, compression, and effects appropriate for a listening room environment.
• Troubleshoot feedback, routing issues, cable failures, and monitor problems in real time without disrupting the performance.
• Manage stage transitions between multiple acts, keeping the evening on schedule in coordination with the artist liaison and venue staff.
• Power down, coil, and secure all audio equipment after each show, and report any damaged gear or supply needs to the appropriate staff.

What You Bring

• Demonstrated experience mixing live music in a professional venue setting.
• Hands-on proficiency with digital mixing consoles, specifically large-format boards with onboard signal processing.
• Working knowledge of signal flow, gain staging, bus routing, and monitor mixing in a live sound production context.
• Experience with audio routing for video capture or live streaming is useful but not required.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work calmly with performers, crew, and venue staff under show conditions.
