6.3Setting Up
Important:
!• According to international practice as specified by the AIIC, each interpretation booth must provide two Interpreter Stations because interpreters never work alone. Having an interpreter work alone in a booth would be unethical.
Note: In the following sections, the terms "source language", "target language", and "relay language" will be used frequently.
The source language is the language an interpreter translates into another language. That other language is called the target language.
A relay language is a target language that is used as a source language by another interpreter if that inter- preter is not qualified to interpret the original source language.
6.3.1Making Connections
1.Screw the microphone capsule on the gooseneck.
2.Screw the gooseneck into the microphone input.
3.Use the appropriate CS5 MK.. cables to connect the system ports on the microphone station to the system ports on the preceding and subsequent microphone stations.
