The expert panel is the third announced in the Mix Panel Series, which also includes an opening Keynote Conversation With Ai-Ling Lee and Onnalee Blank and an event-closing special presentation titled The Big Picture: “From Twister to Twisters.”

“The advent of streaming has changed how we view media in so many ways, but movies and television in particular,” says Tom Kenny, co-editor of Mix. “These four mixers all have a wealth of feature film experience, and they are part of the vanguard that is bringing that experience to the small screen. Whether it’s a movie premiere, a limited series or an episodic, whether you listen out of a soundbar or a home theater, you have to admit that the TV experience has never sounded better.”

The panelists for “Theatrical Mix, Near-Field Playback,” with links to their credits on imdb.com, are:

• Mike Minkler: A legendary, three-time Oscar-winning mixer who this month won an Emmy Award for the mix of Masters of the Air.
