Simultaneous Interpretation Portable Systems
Abalingua Conference Equipment can provide 2 different systems appropriate for use when interpretation is needed for a group that will move between separated spaces.
Sennheiser Infoport TourGuide System
Each Sennheiser Infoport portable system briefcase consists of 20 receivers and a microphone. It is a portable interpreting system, with which there is no need for equipment setup booth, interpreter desk, CCU, or derig, as well as no need for technical assistance as all our interpreters have been trained on the use of this system and can operate it themselves.
It is especially appropriate for small meetings or for guided visits where there will be a group of people moving between spaces. The advantages are clear: no equipment setup needed, no technical assistance required (our interpreters will operate it) and the freedom of movement (provided they move together in a group).
Disadvantages:
- Only appropriate for small groups, if the group is large it will always be better and cheaper to use the booth system.
- Distance, the interpreter must be at a distance less than50 meters away from the people who are receiving the interpretation on their If the distance is larger than 50 meters, signal quality problems may appear.
Abasystem Portable
This is an in-house developed system, and it is actually a system that can be used both as a “fixed” system in events with interpreting booths or also as a portable system where the interpreter carries a portable transmitting microphone with him/her.
After years of using several portable systems, Abalingua decided to step up the plate and develop its own system, with the vision of a system that could be both used as portable as well as fixed system, with the versatility of being used in guided visits as well as a regular receiver in large events, in large venues or in open spaces. We listed the pros and cons of the systems we had used before and achieved reaching all the pros on that list, while at the same time getting rid of the cons.
Some of the issues we identified as being a problem on the portable systems we had been using for years were :
- Portability
- Battery life
- Number of channels
- Receiver loss cost
Portability: The size of our Abasystem receivers is much smaller and lighter than other available systems nowadays. It always surprises our clients how clear the signal is and how many advantages our system has over other portable systems. As soon as an interpreter tries our system, he becomes enchanted with it and does never go back to asking for any other system. Some interpreters like to take the receivers with them on a backpack, where they can take many receivers in a small space. Some other clients prefer the 40-50-60 unit suitcases we provide these receivers with. These suitcases can be checked in as cabine luggage if they need to be flown, which makes Abasystem even easier to move around.
Battery life: Abasystem guarantees an excellent battery life, as our receivers can be use in seervices with long hours. You can expect to have the receivers working for 5 days straight in 8-10 hours daily usage. No need to recharge batteries, just change them into a pair of new AA batteries and you are ready to go for another 5 days. We have designed the receivers so that the screen blinks when there is need to change the batteries, avoiding unnecessary battery changes.
Number of Channels: This isn’t usually a problem with portable systems, but we have ecncountered several occasions where there were several groups roaming in the same area and with the traditional portable systems you had to be very careful to avoid intereferences if there were more than 5-6 languages being interpreted into , while with Abasystem we can guarantee 30 languagesw working side-by-side with no interference problem whatsoever.
Receiver loss cost: This is a good one. We had always been astonished at the cost clients had to pay when receivers were lost. Same happened with the microphones, which are even more expensive. Any event that had worked fine could be tarnished by the fact that the client had to pay a high sum of money to account for receiver loss. This was one of the things we had very clear we wanted to tackle from the beginning. We achieved bringing down the cost of receiver loss to just a fraction of what it had traditionally costed, and brought down the cost of microphone loss as well.
Projectors from 2,000 to 20,000 lumens
In Abalingua Conference Equipment we pride ourselves on being constantly renewing and upgrading our equipment to make sure we provide our clients only with the latest state of the art audio visual equipment. We have recently renewed most of our stock by investing in top of the line material.
We currently can provide a dozen video projectors from the best brands in the market and with brightness from 1,200 to 20,000 lumens.
The kind of projector that is a fit for an event will depend on many variables, but to decide what is the right brightness we can focus on three aspects. If the projection will take place indoors or outdoors, if it is indoors, the brightness of the room, and finally, the size of the screen where we want to show our projections.
We rent and install projectors anywhere in Europe.
Microphones
An extremely important factor in any event are the microphones that are used in it, as they are the ones capturing the speakers voice and transmitting its message to the audience. Abalingua has a wide range of microphones, always from the best brands and always keeping in mind the specific needs each client has for their events.

ABASYSTEM PORTABLE
Abasystem Portable is an innovative solution developed in-house by Abalingua. It is a versatile system that can be utilized as both a fixed system in events with interpreting booths and as a portable system where interpreters carry a compact transmitting microphone.
After years of experience with various portable systems, Abalingua took the initiative to develop its own system. The vision was to create a solution that could be seamlessly used in guided visits, large events, expansive venues, and open spaces. Our aim was to address the shortcomings of previous systems while maximizing the benefits.
Some of the issues we identified with the portable systems we had used previously were:
- Portability: The Abasystem receivers are remarkably smaller and lighter compared to other available systems in the market. Clients are consistently impressed by the clarity of the signal and the numerous advantages our system offers. Interpreters who try our system become captivated and never revert to using any other system. Some interpreters prefer to carry the receivers in a backpack, allowing them to transport multiple receivers in a small space. Additionally, we provide 40-50-60 unit suitcases for clients who require a larger quantity of receivers. These suitcases can be checked in as cabin luggage if needed, making the Abasystem incredibly easy to transport.
- Battery Life: Abasystem ensures excellent battery life, making it suitable for services with extended hours. Our receivers can operate continuously for five consecutive days with 8-10 hours of daily usage. There is no need to recharge batteries; simply replace them with a pair of new AA batteries, and you’re ready to go for another five days. We have incorporated a feature in the receivers where the screen blinks to indicate when battery replacement is necessary, eliminating unnecessary battery changes.
- Number of Channels: While this is not typically a problem with portable systems, we have encountered situations where multiple groups are roaming in the same area, requiring interpretation in numerous languages simultaneously. Traditional portable systems often face challenges with interference when interpreting more than 5-6 languages. With Abasystem, we guarantee seamless operation for up to 30 languages, with no interference issues whatsoever.
- Receiver Loss Cost: This aspect is particularly noteworthy. We were astonished by the high cost clients had to bear when receivers or microphones were lost during events. It was disheartening to see a successful event overshadowed by the financial burden of replacing lost equipment. Hence, we made it a priority to address this concern from the outset. We have significantly reduced the cost of receiver loss to a fraction of what it traditionally entailed, and we have also reduced the cost of microphone loss.
Abasystem Portable is the result of our commitment to providing an exceptional interpreting experience while addressing the limitations of previous portable systems. Our dedication to improving portability, extending battery life, increasing channel capacity, and reducing loss costs sets Abasystem Portable apart as a reliable and cost-effective solution for your interpreting needs.
