FAQ

Our conference systems are compatible with nearly every professional audio visual public announcement systems. Main control units provide line level out XLR, RCA (Stereo or Mono) and Auxiliary outputs for standard compatibility options.

All conference microphones will be summed then provided as an output to the mixer.

 

Conference Rental’s strives to ensure you have enough microphones in case the unexpected occurs. Therefore, a couple additional microphones are always included in each order to make sure your event runs smoothly.

Simultaneous interpretation is the continuous verbal interpretation from one language to another. Unlike consecutive interpretation, simultaneous interpretation allows a speaker to continue without pausing for the interpreter to speak.

Simultaneous interpretation requires special equipment to allow interpreters to sit in a sound isolated booth while listening, through headphones, to the speaker and interpreting into a different language. The individuals listening to the interpretation will listen though headphones connected either to a conference microphone with headphone inserts or infrared receivers, both of which provide the transmission of the simultaneously interpreted audio.

Both infrared (IR) and radio frequency (RF) (RF is sometimes referred to as FM for frequency modulated) are technologies used to transmit audio wirelessly. IR and RF equipment are both used for language distribution systems and wireless conference microphone systems.  

The main difference between the two technologies and the reason Conference Rental uses IR equipment is that IR is immune to interferences from Wi-Fi or  RF networks and is inherently secure from eavesdropping. As IR light does not pass through opaque surfaces, such as walls, it keeps meeting data confidential by only allowing individuals inside the room to listen to the conference. Since the IR transmission does not pass through the walls of a conference room, it also allows two systems to be in adjacent rooms without interfering with one another.

Nine times out of ten, the system needs to be renumbered. 

Background: Each microphone is assigned an identification number.  If two microphones have the same ID number, it will cause these two microphones to act strangely (both turn on at the same time, not turn on at all, etc.)

The Numbering Process:

- Make sure all microphones are connected to the main unit.

- Turn on the main unit.  The main units LCD will display “checking line” identifying all the microphones connected.

- When finished “Checking Line” a table with four columns will be displayed.  Under the “Total” column is the amount of microphones recognized by the main unit

- If this is different from the actual amount of microphones connected, you must renumber the system.

- Select the “Menu” button on the main unit.

- Scroll left using the arrow key until you highlight the “NUMBER” option on the LCD.  Press the “Menu” button to select.

- Press the “Menu” button to select “ALL” then again to select “START”

- The Microphone On/Off button on each of the delegate microphones will be flashing red.  This indicates the microphones are ready to be numbered.

- Press each of the Microphone On/Off buttons.  This will assign each microphone a new number.

- Note: The first microphone selected will be ID 1

- Press the “Menu” button on the main unit to select the highlighted “END” option.

- The main unit will display “Checking Line” identifying all the microphones connected.

- When finished “Checking Line” the numbering process is complete.  Press the “Exit” key to view the four column table on the LCD. The number under the “TOTAL” column should coincide with actual quantity of microphones connected.

Conference Rental's standard practice is always to make sure you have enough microphone incase the unexpected occurs.

Though it is extremely rare for a microphone to not work properly, there are the times equipment becomes damaged during a shipment or an unforeseen event occurs. Therefore a couple additional microphones are always included in each order to make sure your event runs smoothly.

Conference Rental is located in several areas across North America and Europe. All of our warehouse can deliver the same day an order is made if you are located in the surrounding metropolitan area. Otherwise, we can deliver using shipping companies for next day delivery.

Our wired tabletop microphones are connected via Cat-5 cables with 6PIN Din connectors. It is a secure and reliable connection for rental applications. Moving the conference units on the furniture will not unplug a connection.

Our standard cable pack includes: (8) 16ft., (3) 32 ft. and (2) 65 ft. cables. If the distance between every microphone is higher than 5.5 feets, please let us know so we provide you with additional extension cables.
