Glensound Interpreter Box Simultaneous Interpretation Unit

Glensound Interpreter Box Simultaneous Interpretation Unit provides dedicated microphone control and headphone monitoring for one interpreter. Built to broadcast audio specifications, it combines selectable microphone powering, floor and language monitoring, and linked-unit handover in a desktop enclosure. A large microphone-live indicator makes transmission status clear, while a momentary cough button temporarily mutes the microphone output.

Microphone Input and On-Air Control

A single microphone input is accessible through rear-panel or top-panel XLR sockets, with the top connection suitable for a gooseneck microphone. Rear-panel switching selects dynamic microphone operation or 48 V phantom power. Adjustable input gain and a front-panel meter assist setup. Glensound’s switchable Referee compressor/limiter helps manage microphone peaks, while a top-panel toggle switch controls microphone on/off operation.

Floor and Language Monitoring

Glensound Interpreter Box lets the user monitor the external floor feed or a language feed from another linked unit. Headphone level adjustment and two-band EQ help tailor listening. A single headphone amplifier feeds parallel 6.35 mm and 3.5 mm sockets, with connections available at the front and rear. These are shared monitoring connections rather than independent headphone mixes.

CM Bus Linking and Interpreter Handover

Two rear-panel RJ45 sockets link compatible Interpreter Boxes using CAT5 cabling. The CM bus carries audio and control logic, giving linked units the same output. The last interpreter to switch on their microphone takes control, automatically switching off microphones on the other linked boxes. The shared output also supplies language monitoring, allowing an interpreter to follow another interpreter instead of the original floor audio.
