Interpretation system

An interpretation system (also called a translation system) makes simultaneous interpreting possible at meetings, conferences, court hearings and multicultural occasions such as weddings. The interpreter delivers the translation live through a transmitter; participants listen in on a lightweight receiver, in their own language and at their own volume — without disturbing anyone else present.
