 Interpreters work in difficult conditions, so give them the best facilities!
Minimum teams comprise two interpreters (working in 30 minute relays) in booths that may be fixed or mobile and which meet international standards ISO 2063 (fixed) or 4043 (mobile) respectively, providing high acoustic performance. A conference system, which should comply with IEC 914, includes booths fitted with interpreter consoles, conference microphones, a central unit with infra red links delegates' receivers and a public address system. The interpretation goes from the console output channel to the central unit where the sound is processed and broadcast on an infrared carrier to the delegates who select, on their receivers , the language they require. They are thus able to follow the proceedings simultaneously and with ease.  The system is complemented as required, by a suitable public address system , including table microphones, rostrum microphones, and cordless HF portable microphones. The proceedings can also be recorded and audio-visual equipment may also form part of the installation.
For a smaller conference, we propose a portable translation facility, comprising a HF microphone for the interpreter and headsets for the participants. A fully-trained technician provides on-the-spot technical assistance, thus guaranteeing a smooth, trouble-free meeting. Organising an international conference and your conference room is not properly equipped?
