I'm Florian Bechte, a specialized sound mixing engineer with extensive experience in broadcast and live audio for radio, TV, and large-scale events. Since 2002 I have been responsible for sound and live mixing at Cologne Cathedral, handling major church events, OB van productions, and TV broadcasts. I thrive in complex live situations and rely on modern production systems such as Avid Venue, SL3x, and remote recording to ensure the highest sound quality and reliability. In addition to cathedral work, I run my own studio and teach, with a history of working on TV productions for ZDF, ProSieben, SAT.1, RTL II, and teaching at Akademie Deutsche Pop from 2019 to 2021. I bring a calm, collaborative approach and a strong focus on delivering excellent results under pressure.
