Simultaneous interpretation is a critical tool for bridging language barriers at international events, conferences, and meetings. To provide top-notch simultaneous interpretation, you will need a range of equipment to ensure smooth and seamless delivery of interpretation. Here are some of the essential pieces of equipment you will need:
- Interpreter Booths: To ensure privacy and reduce background noise, interpreter booths are a must. These soundproofed spaces provide the perfect environment for the interpreters to work in.
- Headset & Microphone: Interpreters use a headset to listen to the speaker and a microphone to interpret what is being said into the target language. This equipment ensures that the interpretation is delivered clearly and without interference.
- Interpretation Console: This device is used to control the volume levels, turn on and off the microphone, and switch between languages.
- Wireless Transmitters & Receivers: Wireless transmitters and receivers allow for flexibility in the interpreter’s movements, ensuring that they can deliver the interpretation effectively.
- Sound System: A high-quality sound system is required to broadcast the interpretation to the audience If individual receivers are not being used. A sound system with multiple speakers ensures that the interpretation is audible to everyone in the room.
