Why do interpreters need remote equipment?
Interpreters use remote equipment to allow them to work more comfortably and efficiently. Rather than whispering into one person’s ear for a long period of time, the interpreter using remote equipment can set up in a space where he or she can easily view the speaker, talk at a comfortable volume, and provide interpretation to a large number of participants. Participants can adjust the volume individually on their ear piece, and the interpreter can focus more intently on his or her work.
