What is simultaneous interpretation?

Simultaneous interpretation is a widely used method for interpreting a foreign language in real-time during meetings and assemblies. It requires specialized wireless tools and a soundproof booth dedicated to interpretation. The use of simultaneous interpretation equipment can be traced back to the 1920s when Edward Filene and Alan Gordon Finlay attempted to design such tools for reading already translated speeches. The concept of live simultaneous interpretation was not yet understood. After World War II, simultaneous interpretation equipment was developed and seen at a Nuremberg trial. The United Nations is credited with introducing simultaneous interpretation equipment into public use, despite initial resistance to its adoption.

 

 

Simultaneous interpretation equipment today

Simultaneous interpretation is becoming increasingly prevalent in global communication and conferences, leading to a growing number of equipment manufacturers and suppliers in the market. However, it’s important to be cautious about cheap options as equipment quality and design can vary significantly. The effectiveness of interpretation relies heavily on high-quality equipment.

To ensure quality equipment and effective interpretation, it’s essential to choose a specialized equipment company in Nunavut and avoid small entities like audio-visual companies. Interpreters and specialized agencies often have their equipment through industry partnerships.

For frequent or occasional use, it’s recommended to work with simultaneous interpretation agencies to rent equipment or obtain expertise rather than shopping around.

 

 

 

What configurations of simultaneous interpretation equipment exist?

 

There are three configurations:

There are three types of simultaneous interpretation setups: permanent installations, portable/mobile configurations, and whispering equipment.

Permanent installations are integrated into conference and meeting rooms and are often used by organizations such as the United Nations and the European Parliament. Each large meeting center is equipped with a booth where interpreters work, although the booths cannot be mobilized.

Portable/mobile configurations are necessary for venues that do not have their own permanent facilities. These booths must be set up before the events can start, and multiple booths are needed to accommodate several interpreters per language. While portable, these booths are equipped with lighting and ventilation.

Whispering equipment is a discreet and portable solution suitable for one person only. It consists of a wireless transmitter and receivers, making it practical for visiting or frequently traveling participants such as tour guides.

 

 

The indoor equipment of an interpreting booth

 

Simultaneous interpretation console

 

This equipment is an electronic box that ensures the diffusion of sound. It guarantees a connection with the audio and the interpreter’s microphone. Because of the number of interpreters in a booth, the simultaneous interpretation console must meet the appropriate numbers. Each interpreter must have his or her own headset and microphone.

The panel of the interpreting console also has several switches for changing the language, adjusting the volume and bass/treble, as well as for momentarily disabling the microphone (in case the interpreter should cough for example).

 

 

Interpreter headset

 

Very essential, every translator needs a headset. Conference professionals often use their own equipment when traveling. Therefore, suppliers provide high performance headsets with better voice diffusion.
For best efficiency, headsets should be binary. Perfect listening with both ears.

 

 

Microphone

 

Headset microphone: Practical and flexible, the microphone is often attached to your headset. The interpreter can move his or her head in any direction but the distance between the microphone and the mouth does not change.
Console microphone: As it is essential for simultaneous interpretation, the microphone is connected to the console. A dedicated connector is placed at the top of the equipment for its use.

Stand-alone table microphone: This type of conference microphone is free standing and separate, and is connected by cable to the console.
Unpleasant sounds may be produced from the microphone when a certain setting is made.

Among the types of microphones, it is better to opt for the effectiveness of the microphone built into the headset.

 

 

Other equipment:

  • Lighting;
  • Good ventilation;
  • Chairs and tables;
  • Internet connections;
  • Electricity.

 

 

Wireless Receiver to delegate to Nunavut

 

To ensure that speakers can understand every aspect of the conference, they require wireless interpreting equipment system receivers. The audio stream from the speakers is transmitted to the interpreters, who perform simultaneous interpretation through the wireless transmitter.

Professional-quality audio equipment is essential for simultaneous interpretation, and it is recommended to rely on equipment suppliers and companies specialized in this type of equipment to obtain it.

 

 

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

Alex Breder

Best system we’ve used so far: ideal for plant/site visits, small to large-size meetings, requiring simultaneous interpretation. Battery life is astounding; never ever have we seen anything longer lasting. As for sound, we’re amazed at the clear quality! The idea of receivers/transmitter only turning on with headphone plug inserted is great! We from Global View, in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, do recommend DSPTech system doubtlessly! We’d been used to top-notch systems, but DSPTech has surely surpassed them all!

Fadi Joubran

Best system ever made!
Simple, straightforward, amazing battery life and most importantly, the sound quality is unmatched. Thank you.

Liz Essary

DSPTECH has been a huge help to me as a freelance conference and court interpreter! Vito helped me not only decide on a kit that works for me, but also helped me understand how to set up and maintain the equipment. The receivers are especially high quality and easy to use for attendees. DSPTECH offers a special combination of high quality equipment, and excellent customer service!

David Pett

DSPTECH has outfitted our church with a great FM system. Super quality anywhere in the auditorium (seats 350). Customer service was great! Call backs and a demo of the product in the evening so our volunteer interpreter could be present. Very accommodating. No hesitation in recommending this company.

Tommy Palliser

It is hard to find quality products, but also quality service these days. DSPTECH really goes above and beyond, providing good quality products and also good quality after care service and also assists in setting up your equipment. I really and honestly recommend DSPTECH for all your translation equipment and related technical needs. Thank you DSPTECH!

Anne Christensen

Customer service is second to none! The entire purchasing experience smooth and fast, and the unit was personally delivered to my office within 2 days. When I had questions about the system (while in Amman, Jordan) I received detailed assistance in writing and via phone, as well as the option to have a local service technician join me for free to provide assistance at my event. Would certainly recommend to anyone looking for hands on support and great quality!

Nous avons une entreprise d’interprétation simultanée et nous demandons à différents fournisseurs de nous louer de l’équipement SI fiable. Monsieur Ricci nous a contactés et nous étions ravis par ses excellents conseils et sa connaissance de notre industrie assez spécialisée. Quand nous avons appris qu’il est aussi extrêmement apprécié par certaines des meilleures entreprises d’interprétation simultanée au Québec et Canada comme LMB, qui est l’un de nos clients les plus importants, nous étions heureux de faire affaire avec lui. C’est aussi rassurant de voir qu’il y a enfin un fabricant canadien pour soutenir l’industrie d’interprétation simultanée,

Simon Brault

I was looking for high quality receivers and simultaneous interpretation equipment for our company as we have a growing demand to serve our customers and wanted to do it the right way. We tested several models and including some low cost products that just didn’t do the job right until we found Dsptech. They have come out with a high quality and durable receiver specially designed for the translation industry. The sound quality is great and I couldn’t see for any reason spending 10 times the price on an infrared system. Their FM solution is solid, reliable, and sounds great. It’s also very simple to use for event participants. Everyone’s been happy and we couldn’t have asked for more. We also had the privilege to test out their new CSI system to track all receivers going out and coming back. Never seen anything like it before on the market before, another great product. Tracks all receivers with names and detailed information of exactly who took the receiver and didn’t bring them back. Also reduced our signing out and usual return times by about 70%. Clients were able to take the receivers home with them and return back at the end of our 3 day conference. With an extremely fast return system, we wrapped up a lot sooner than at our other events. Client’s loved it and we saved a lot of headaches and we experienced a huge saving of time. We had all 15 lost receivers returned the following week because we had detailed records of the users that took them out. Incredible ! Highly recommend Vito and his team to work with in the future !

The Simultaneous interpretation receivers are the simplest to use for our clients and interpreters. They are reliable and provide crystal clear sound quality. Fast on time delivery and personalized professional expert service, very portable light- weight equipment. I strongly recommend the portable equipment for Court interpretation and small meetings.
