11.10.5 Interpreter desk Listening

Two tone controls (bass , and treble ) and one volume control enables the adjustment of the sound level and sound quality when using headphones or a headset when listening to the floor or selected translations.

A built-in loudspeaker with volume control enables the interpreter to monitor the floor language only. All interpreter desk loudspeakers within a booth are muted, when an interpreter’s microphone within that booth is switched on.

FIG 11-11 Outgoing Channel Selection

The interpreter desk offers three methods of distributing a translation. Using the A-output only, using both the A-output + B-output, and using both the A-output + B-output with the Auto-relay facility.

A- Output

The A-channel is normally reserved for the interpreter’s most familiar outgoing language. Press the ‘A- Channel select’ key to output on the A-Channel, its associated red LED illuminates.

A+B- Output

As well as using the A-output as described above, the interpreter can also select a second outgoing language for distribution on channel B (if programmed), by using the desks ‘B-select’ up/down keys.

Pressing the ‘B-Channel select’ key, activates the Outgoing B-channel, while switching off the Outgoing A-Channel.Their associated red LEDs act accordingly.

A+B-Output + Auto-relay facility

As well as using the outgoing A and B-channels, an additional facility is available for use where an exotic language is unfamiliar to the majority of interpreters. In the desk programming mode the Outgoing B channel of an interpreter desk can be assigned with the auto-relay facility.This facility automatically replaces the incoming floor channel with the assigned auto-relay language, which is distributed to other interpreters to base their translations.To output the auto-relay procedure, the assigned interpreter simply presses the ‘Outgoing B’ key on his desk.
