Live sound mixing is the art of combining and processing a number of audio signals together to create a "mix" that the audience or performers at a live show hear. There can be a variety of different mixes required, depending on the performance requirements. Three types are: Front of House (FOH), which is primarily for the audience, monitor mixing, and recording or broadcast or cue mixing.

Whenever sound reinforcement is needed for a live performance of either music, theater, or spoken word, or sporting events, a specialized sound system is required. The primary goal is to cover the audience area and stage with a sufficient amplified signal. The stage or monitor mix can be necessary to enable performers to hear themselves and any other parts of the performance as needed. Also, the proper monitor mix can minimize time delays on large stages to help synchronize the performance. In addition, the stage mix can overcome the level of the house sound which can be confusing to listen to on the stage.

The source of sounds for a mix can be electronic musical instruments, acoustic instruments, playback of pre-recorded sounds and music, voices, other sounds ambience, and sound effects. This sound system generally comprises a number of microphones on the stage, to pick up acoustic sounds, and/or a wide variety of other electronic signals.

If the mixing is to occur at a distance from the stage, it is customary for the individual signals to be balanced, low impedance in order to have noise immunity and retain their frequency spectrum. Widely differing levels can be accommodated in modern mixing and pre- amp systems. An additional requirement is to run the signals with standardized connectors and wiring.

mixing board, a number of speakers (passive or active), power amplifiers often a number of audio processing devices, and the cabling rigging and power system to connect all of these components. Having the sound mixed or manipulated in real time is usually required for more complex systems An ideal of some performers is to have the interactions of live musicians translated to the audience directly. An example of this is a typical "Bluegrass" band, with only one microphone. The musicians create balance their ensemble sound by ear, and move around the mic to emphasize solo instruments. On the other end of the spectrum are music or dramatic productions which can have many dozens of individual sources in and dozens of sub-mixes out to dozens of speaker systems to achieve the desired result.

A Live sound engineer can mix the sound from the audience position, from a specialized control room, from the stage, or a remote truck, depending on the performance requirements. A trend in large scale theatrical productions is to minimize or eliminate the amount of sound equipment in the audience area. Elaborate digital control systems can be utilized for this purpose. For larger and more complex sound systems, more engineers and technicians can be required required. The two primary engineers are the Front of House engineer and the Monitor Engineer. The Front of House engineer mixes the sound that the audience hears in the house and the Monitor engineer mixes the sound that the performers hear on stage. A live sound engineer refers to a person that is experienced in the set up and operation of a sound reinforcement system.
