Silent Conference Systems

Silent Conferences are a great solution using one hall/room for multiple parallel speakers or tracks. The technical setup limits the audio from multiple, parallel presenters to specific listeners. Considering that the audio from the presenters is not broadcasted via loudspeakers ensures that participants have an undisturbed listening experience.

Key Components of Silent Conference Systems

Globibo’s Silent Conference system comprises of a discussion or conference microphone system for multiple speakers (like Digimic, CDSVAN, or mixing console), multiple transmitters (IR or FM components), and infrared/FM receivers.

Silent Conference Microphone: Wired or wireless microphones for the speaker.
Audio Transmitter: FM, IR, or WIFI based transmission infrastructure
Wireless Receivers: Receivers for the participants

A microphone management system or mixing console sources the audio signal from the speaker or presenter. Usually, there are multiple conference microphones in different areas of the room that facilitate multiple speakers/presenters to speak simultaneously.

The transmitter processes the audio signals from the different speakers. It broadcasts multiple signals to wireless receivers. Each participant will have their own infrared or FM receiver. They can adjust audio volume and channel as per their interests and preferences.

Silent Conference Booth

Globibo’s portable interpreter booth provides working accommodation for two speakers or interpreters. The conference booths used in silent conference systems ensure a high degree of noise cancellation. The vertical modules are made of a robust outer hardwood frame surrounding a central panel. It is further made of a soundproofing laminate material. The booth takes two low noise tangential fans, ensuring an adequate amount of air circulating in the booth. In addition, each booth gets two reading lamps.

Silent Conference Audio Consoles

The Interpreter Console is designed for the transmission of multiple channels. The control panel is divided into clearly organized function-oriented sections:

Monitoring
Speaking
Special functions

Via the two Monitoring functions, the interpreter can choose between an interpretation channel and the ORIGINAL channel using the RELAIS toggle switch. Volume, bass, and treble are individually adjustable via separate controls. The HEARING GUARD function draws the interpreter's attention to the fact that the volume of his headphones is too high and that his hearing is being put under too much strain.

Silent Conference Receivers

Globibo provides several Infrared and FM Receivers for Silent Conference Events. The Brahler IRX32 is one of the most solid choices for conferences. Using infrared frequencies paired with proprietary radiators ensures highly secure environments and has been proven in thousands of conferences in the world. FM receiver solutions are also an option and sometimes provide a more cost-efficient approach.

Example Receiver Specification:

Supports 32 channels in a range of
PLL-synthesizer (phase-locked-loop) guarantees high-quality transmission and high operational reliability.
Works under direct Sunlight where usually the reception would not be possible due to over-brightness.
The receiver comes with a 4-key control pad for volume and channel control.
Long-lasting battery
Easy to use. Instructions also provided on the back of the receiver
Good noise cancellation properties
