The Use of Interpretation Equipment

This 1.5h workshop explains how to properly use interpretation equipment inside

and outside of the courtroom. This workshop covers:

  • Radio Frequency vs. Infrared
  • Receivers – different models, set-up, and troubleshooting
  • Portable Transmitters: Range, dual channel, interference, different

microphones and advanced settings

  • Alternate use of transmitters as a feed for the interpreter
  • DigiWave – Why is it better and how to set it up?
  • Stationary Transmitters – uses and settings
  • Interpreter Control Unit – controls on the face, side, and back of unit

At the conclusion of this workshop, participants will have enough information to

setup, monitor, and troubleshoot the most commonly used equipment.

Everton Morais is an independent legal interpreter, as well as, an experienced

conference and diplomatic interpreter. Everton has been working with interpreting

on a volunteer basis since 2000 at his local church, and began his professional

career in 2009. In 2022 Everton developed a curriculum and started teaching a 7-

week interpretation course at New Jersey City University. Currently, he works a

nearly 50/50 mix of agency work and direct clients. His work has taken him as far as

New Zealand in 2016, he has interpreted for vice presidents and presidents of Brazil

and Angola, and worked in complex financial and oil platform international arbitrations.
