Hiring interpreters may not be the only step that you need to take to successfully host an event held in various languages. Conferences with large numbers of audiences will need a lot of support equipment like soundproof booths, headphones, microphones, and audio consoles so that interpreters can interpret simultaneously with speakers, allowing the audience to comfortably hear presentations. Renting the needed equipment and hiring technical supports for interpretation services can be a headache for those who are unfamiliar with the industry. Today, Vietnam Event will share with you the reference for the interpretation equipment required for the events.
Things to consider when selecting interpretation equipment
Scale
The first thing that you should do is determining the number of attendees at the event, and the scale. This will help determine the number of equipment required and the type of technology required for suitable coverage of the event.
Location
Location is not where the event will happen, you also should determine whether the event is inside or outside, whether it is in a highly populated urban setting or in a sparse rural area. Typically, the larger the population center, the more likely interference from other FM transmissions can happen. A professional’s experience of using equipment in a certain area is helpful or you have to survey the location for interference before the event.
Languages
It’s important to determine the number of languages required to be interpreted simultaneously during the event. When the number of languages increases, the complexity, and cost of the technology will increase.
Portability
Will the equipment be moved from location to another location and? Or is the equipment going to be installed in just one room and stay there for the whole events? Is the interpretation portable? These questions will not only help determine the required equipment but also whether the equipment can run with standard power supplies or will require portable ones.
Security
In some conferences or summits, such as those held by a government agency, or legal agency, the secured transmission is required so the conversation can be private. When selecting interpretation technology, it’s vital to ask about the security level of the meetings.
Equipment required for interpretation
Interpretation Booths
Interpretation booths provide soundproof for the interpreters inside. The booths allow the interpreters to work in a quiet environment, avoid audible distractions, so they pay the most attention to the speakers. Inside the booths, the interpreters can speak at a normal volume with their partners without disturbing the meeting attendees. The interpreters inside usually receive the audio from the meeting by means of an XLR cable.
Interpreter Console
The console is the control center for interpreters to receive, transmit, and control the audio. It is common that two interpreters will share an interpretation booth and interpreter console, with 2 individual microphones assigned to each interpreter. Interpreting is a complex task, requiring flexible breaks to allow each interpreter to rotate the other. The interpreter console features are important because the console allows the interpreters to work more efficiently.
Transmitter
The transmitter will be hooked up to the interpreter console to transmit, or wirelessly distribute, the audio. It sometimes is used on a stand-alone basis when is in small and less complex events. The transmitter will include base-station transmitters or mobile, body-pack transmitters.
Receiver
The receiver is the device the audiences use to wirelessly receive the audio distribution being transmitted. Some receivers may have a built-in speaker, while others require the connection of a headphone or earphone to hear the audio. Most receivers offer the option to select the channel and adjust the volume of the audio.
Language Distribution
Language distribution distributes the audio of the interpreter to the meeting attendees. Usually, it works wirelessly. In the world of interpretation, there are two technologies commonly used to wirelessly transmit the audio -- radio frequency (RF) and infrared (IR).
