25-Person Translation System with Interpreter Monitor (Limited Lifetime Warranty)

Overview

This 25-person Professional-grade Wireless Simultaneous Translation System provides superior sound quality and excellent coverage range, combining multiple-channel transmitter and receivers, as well as improved reliability and versatility. It can be expanded by adding an unlimited number of additional receivers. More foreign languages can be added for a maximum of 6 in the same room by purchasing 1 additional transmitter and microphone per language.

Specially designed for language interpretation, it has a unique integrated interpreter console function. This feature allows interpreters to select an external incoming audio source and utilize a headset with microphone to listen to the source language without the need of an interpreter console or external headphone amplifier. Through the headphones’ volume control, interpreters can set the desired incoming audio level and the mute button allows them to momentarily silence their microphone for coughing or sneezing.  

This system is ideal for houses of worship, conference rooms, courtrooms, and auditoriums.

Note: This system requires a human language interpreter, it does not translate automatically.

What types of translation systems are there?

There are two technologies used for wireless simultaneous interpretation (SI):

• Radio frequency (RF) based technology
• Infrared (IR) technology

RF systems can be analog or digital.

Analog RF systems

In the United States, most RF systems for one-way wireless simultaneous interpretation (SI) are analog FM (Frequency Modulation) systems in the VHF band. The 72 Mhz-76 Mhz and the 216 Mhz bands are reserved by the FCC for auditory assistance communications, including simultaneous language translation. FM Systems are recommended for schools, houses of worship, simultaneous interpretation rental companies, corporate clients, etc. as they are more economical, portable and easier to set up than IR systems. FM signals can penetrate walls and are consequently immune to light interference. An analog RF system can be stationary or portable. A typical analog RF system consists of one transmitter that can be single or multichannel per interpreter and one receiver per attendee. RF transmitters are available in stationary and portable (body pack) formats.

Digital RF systems

For simultaneous interpretation the only digital RF systems we've seen to date are tour-guide style portable systems in the 2.4 Ghz and 1.9 Ghz bands. These systems work using radio waves to deliver the interpretation to the audience digitally, similarly to WIFI that transmits information through radio frequency. Digital RF systems are recommended for tour-groups or group conferencing when 2-way communication is needed. 

Infrared Translation Systems

IR (Infrared) interpretation systems are recommended for events requiring high confidentiality and privacy as they do not pass through walls, as in the military, or for sensitive matters. They are also recommended when using over 6 languages or channels or when there are multiple rooms with language interpretation in the same area. Through Infrared technology, these translation systems use invisible pulses of light to deliver the transmission. Infrared technology can’t penetrate walls and can be interfered by lights (but not by radio signals). A typical digital infrared conference interpretation setup consists of:

• A multi-channel transmitter
• IR radiators
• An interpreter console for each booth
• An IR receiver for each attendee

How to choose the right translation system?

In order to get the right translation system for your needs, you should ask yourself these questions:

• How many languages do you need simultaneous interpretation for? Based on that you will choose the number and type of transmitter units you will require.
• How many receivers do I need? This will be determined by another key factor: The number of participants that need language interpretation. Keep in mind that you can always expand your translation system by purchasing additional units.
• Where will the interpreter be located? Remember that the interpreter should have a comfortable, quiet space in order to do a good job. We recommend getting a soundproof translation booth for better sound isolation.
• Do you need the service for a venue in particular or do you want it as portable as possible? While it's true that most translation systems are portable, some are more easy to setup than others.
