Conference technology for simultaneous interpreters
Conference technology refers to sound reinforcement technology, simultaneous interpreting technology and all other technical equipment and systems used in connection with conference interpreting or online interpreting, hybrid and face-to-face settings (e.g. video and audio streaming, sound reinforcement, projectors, screens, monitors, etc.) as well as conference technicians who are required to install and maintain the equipment.
Interpreting booth
Soundproof booth used for simultaneous interpreting. Interpreting booths are the workplace for simultaneous interpreters and must – in accordance with the ISO 4043, ISO 2603, CEI 914 and DIN 56924 standards – meet certain requirements in terms of design, technical equipment, lighting, adequate ventilation, direct view of the speaker and the proceedings, etc.
Simultaneous interpreting technology
All the technical equipment required for interpreting an online or face-to-face event: soundproof interpreting booth, interpreting desks, microphones, transmitters, receivers, headphones, cabling, streaming services, etc.
Fixed and mobile interpreting booths
Many venues have fixed interpreting booths. Mobile interpreting booths and the associated technical equipment are rented out by specialized conference technology providers. Recommendations or a list of competent providers can be obtained from the consultant interpreter. They can contact the relevant companies on behalf of the client, make the necessary arrangements and obtain quotations. Synergy effects are possible here if the conference technology, including simultaneous interpreting technology, is booked from a single source. So it’s worth asking!
