About fifteen years ago
one corporate client, impressed by the exacting quality of Michael
Wasserman's work as an interpreter, asked:
"Can you supply
simultaneous interpreting equipment for our upcoming event, as well as
interpreters?"
The answer was:
"Let me see what I
can do."
As it turned out, what we
could do in regard to the quality of equipment and technical support that
went with it exceeded the client's expectations. Ever since, we have been
supplying equipment and technicians along with interpreters. In the last
few years we have been "discovered" as an equipment supplier and
have been asked repeatedly to provide our booths and technicians even to
events for which we did not supply interpreters.
What equipment do we
provide today?
Booths, headset receivers
and everything that is needed to connect the microphone in the booth to
the headset: amplifiers, transmitters, antennas. Our technicians come with
the equipment, set it up, operate it throughout the event making all
necessary adjustments, strike the equipment at the end of the event, and
take it away. We use only Sony induction loop equipment. The reason is
that in today's workplace environment there are too many computers,
cellular phones, and other devices, all emitting a complex maze of
electromagnetic waves that would interfere with clear transmission of
sound, if we did not surround the room with an antenna called "the
induction loop" which keeps out all unwanted interference. To make
the package complete, we provide podium and lavaliere microphones for
speakers and public address systems. This way we are responsible for the
entire set up which provides a seamless net of safety over your entire
conference. No need to interface with any other equipment or service
providers. The client has the peace of mind to concentrate on substantive
aspects of the event, knowing that both interpreters and equipment came
from Michael Wasserman. Clients who like to shop around for the best price
tell us that our prices are very reasonable. This is because usually our
technicians bring the equipment with them, instead of shipping it, and
because providing the entire package permits us to cut costs in many other
ways.
We supply simultaneous
interpreting equipment in many countries of the world.
For those clients who
want to assume the responsibility of owning their own conference equipment
we can help select as well as design, tailor-make and install a large or a
small system, depending on client's individual needs and preferences.
