Hi,

I want to buy equipment for simultaneous interpretation and I would like to know if anybody could give me an idea what basic equipment I would need to be equipped for conferences with up to 500 persons; where is the best place to buy and how much I would have to invest aproximately.

Thank you very much for your kind response.

As a first step I would suggest visiting the AIIC website (www.aiic.net; AIIC is the main body representing conference interpreters). If you click on the 'who are you' section and select 'conference organiser' you will see a list of relevant topics, some of which relate to equipment. This will give you an idea of where to start, but you can't actually buy equipment from the site.

Checkout Sony's website (expensive). Here in Chile we use Sony, Panasonic, and Telex equipment.
