Equipment
Portable transmitters and receivers that let a guide or interpreter speak to a group anywhere: plant floors, campuses, museums, walking tours, and breakout rooms. No booth required. From our own inventory, with a technician or clear instructions.
How it works
A tour guide system is a small, portable interpretation system. The guide or interpreter wears a lightweight transmitter with a headset or lapel microphone. Each listener wears a pocket receiver and earphones and hears the guide clearly, even on a noisy floor or across a large room.
For multilingual groups, an interpreter walks with the group and speaks into a transmitter on a separate channel, so each listener picks the language they need. There is no booth to build and nothing to install in the venue.
Two-way models let a participant ask a question that the whole group hears, which suits training sessions and Q&A on the move.
Systems
Two families from Williams AV, both in our own inventory. We match the system to the group size, the space, and whether listeners need to talk back.
Lightweight digital transceivers with secure pairing, so others cannot listen in. The DLT 100 transceiver transmits and receives, so a guide can hand the conversation to a participant. Listen-only DLR 50 and DLR 60N receivers can be added in any quantity for larger groups.
Choose it for: confidential plant tours, training on the move, two-way Q&A.
Portable and quick to deploy, and FM works across larger or irregular spaces. A body-pack transmitter such as the PPA T46 goes with the guide; a base station such as the PPA T27 compact base station serves a fixed spot. Listeners use receivers such as the PPA R37 or the eight-channel PPA R35-8N.
Choose it for: larger groups, outdoor and multi-room setups, breakout rooms.
Guides and interpreters can use a noise-canceling headband microphone, a lapel clip microphone, a hand-held directional microphone, or, on construction sites and plant floors, a dual-muff hard-hat headset microphone. See every item in the equipment inventory.
Where groups use it
Delegations and customers walk the floor while an interpreter explains each station, over machine noise, without shouting.
A guide keeps a group together across buildings and outdoor stops; latecomers at the back hear every word.
Instructors demonstrate equipment or procedures in place, and two-way systems let trainees ask questions.
A small multilingual breakout gets interpretation without a booth: the interpreter sits in the room with a transmitter.
An interpreter speaks quietly into a transmitter while listeners follow the service or meeting in their language on a receiver.
Booth staff guide visiting groups through product demonstrations in their own language.
Planning
Small portable kits can be set up by your team, with instructions from ours. For larger groups, several languages, or events where nothing can go wrong, a technician delivers, sets up, tests, and stays with the system.
Need receivers only? We can rent receivers for a program that already has a transmitter, and we will confirm they are compatible with your system.
Running a full conference rather than a tour? See simultaneous interpretation equipment rental with booths and infrared systems.
Questions
A portable system made of a transmitter for the guide or interpreter and pocket receivers with earphones for listeners. It lets a group hear clearly while moving, with no booth or installation.
Yes. Each language uses its own channel with its own interpreter and transmitter, and each listener selects the channel they need on the receiver.
Yes, with two-way Digi-Wave transceivers. A participant can speak and the guide and group hear the question.
For small portable tour-guide kits, yes, with instructions from our team. For larger groups or several languages, we recommend a technician, who sets up, tests, and stays with the system.
Digi-Wave digital systems use secure pairing so people outside the group cannot listen in, which suits confidential plant and facility tours.
Yes. We provide interpreters and equipment together, with one project manager. For site visits we often recommend consecutive interpreters working with small groups.
Yes. Venues and organizations that run tours often can buy systems from us; see interpretation equipment for sale.
