Headcount stops being a hardware problem
Twenty more guests does not mean twenty more receivers.
Use case
Your guests are already carrying the receiver.
Traditional simultaneous interpretation needs rented receivers, headsets and someone to hand them out and collect them again. Every guest already has a better device in their pocket.
What the traditional setup actually costs
- Receivers are rented by the unit whether or not they get used.
- Handing them out and collecting them back takes staff and time on the day.
- Underestimate the count and there is no way to add more mid-event.
- Shared headsets raise hygiene questions that audiences increasingly notice.
How it's set up
- 1
Feed the room's sound into the computer
Take a line out from the mixing desk into the presenting machine, or capture the room on the computer's own microphone.
- 2
Put the QR code at the door and on screen
Guests can connect before they even sit down.
- 3
Ask guests to bring earphones
One line in the event reminder or registration confirmation is enough.

Captions, audio, or both
In a quiet room some guests just read, with nothing in their ears at all.
One link for the room and the stream
At a hybrid event, remote and in-room guests use the same entry point.
Practical tip
A line feed from the mixing desk beats a room microphone by a wide margin. Room echo and audience chatter measurably degrade recognition accuracy.
