What if my venue doesn’t allow the use of an interpreter booth?

Potential alternatives when a booth isn’t allowed Portable interpreting equipment These are lightweight, wireless systems (transmitters + headsets) that interpreters can use from anywhere in the room. No booth required Fast setup Works well for small–medium events Interpreters may still hear background noise, so it’s not ideal for very loud and large rooms Remote simultaneous interpretation (RSI) Interpreters work off‑site, and attendees listen via: A mobile app A web link This avoids all physical equipment restrictions. No booth, no on‑site interpreter Requires strong venue internet Great for multi‑language events Whisper interpreting (consecutive) Interpreter sits next to a small group and whispers the translation. No equipment Only suitable for 1–3 listeners Not appropriate for large conferences Dedicated quiet room If the venue bans booths in the main hall, you can sometimes place interpreters in: A side room A backstage area A control room Audio & Video is fed to them via av systems using Dante control
