Interpretation Equipment Rental in Nairobi
Booths, consoles, wireless receivers and delegate microphones for conferences in Nairobi and across East Africa. Set up, run and packed down by our own technicians.
700 receivers. One conference. Every seat covered.
April 2026. The Kenya International Investment Conference. President Ruto opens it, Vice President Kindiki closes it, and a room full of ministers, CEOs and foreign delegations needs to follow every word.
We ran the whole sound side. A Bosch/DIS interpretation system. Multi-language booths. High-power radiators so the signal reaches the back row. Over 700 wireless receivers for the delegates. Conference interpreters in the booths and our technicians at the desk from the first session to the last.
That’s the job people remember. The kit that made it work is the same kit you rent.
Interpretation Booths and Consoles
Soundproof booths, one per language, with digital interpreter consoles inside. Interpreters hear the floor clean and the delegates hear the interpreter clean. We set up booths and consoles in Arusha for the 3rd Debts and Development Academy, with full hybrid audio for the people joining online.
It Includes:
- Soundproof booths, one per language
- Digital interpreter consoles
- Clean feed to the room and the stream
Wireless Receivers and Headsets
Every delegate picks a channel and listens in their language. From a small workshop to 700+ at KIICO. We count your attendee list, add spares, and bring them charged.
It Includes:
- Multi-channel receivers and headsets
- Spares on top of your headcount
- Charged and channel-checked before doors open
Delegate Microphone Systems
Tabletop mics for every seat, run from one desk on SW6000 conference software. At the AfCFTA technical workshop in Nairobi we ran 50+ delegate mics this way. The technician sees who’s speaking, spots a faulty mic, and fixes it before the chair notices.
It Includes:
- Tabletop delegate and chair microphones
- SW6000 control from one desk
- Clean feed to the interpretation booths
Tour Guide Systems
Portable transmitters and receivers for site visits and field days. At the African Feminist Academy for Climate Justice, two groups headed out to Kibera and Kangemi, each needing a different language. Last minute. We swapped the wired table mics for the tour guide system and interpretation kept running on the walk.
It Includes:
- Portable transmitters for the interpreter
- Pocket receivers for the group
- Works on the move, indoors or out
Technicians On Site, the Whole Event
Every rental comes with our people. They set up the day before, test every channel, sit at the desk during sessions and pack down after. You don’t touch a cable.
Running a hybrid event? The interpreter’s channel goes to the room and the stream at the same time. Pair it with our live streaming services. Documents to translate before the event? Our translation services handle that in-house.
It Includes:
- Setup and testing the day before
- A technician at the desk every session
- Pack down after the last session
How Much Equipment Does Your Event Need?
Four rules. They cover most conferences.
- Wireless receivers: everyone listening in another language, plus about 10% spare
- Interpretation booths: one per language being interpreted
- Interpreters: two per booth for a full day. They take turns.
- Delegate microphones: one per seat at a round table, or one per two seats if they share
Not sure? Send us the agenda, the venue and the headcount. We send back a kit list.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you supply interpreters as well as equipment?
Yes. Equipment only, interpreters only, or both. Most clients take both so one team owns the sound.
How far ahead should I book?
One to two weeks for a Nairobi meeting. Three to four for a big conference or anything at the coast. Four to six for Tanzania.
Do all events need an interpretation booth?
Can you handle a hybrid event?
Yes. The interpreter’s audio goes to the room and the stream at once. We did this for IATI’s members’ assembly and the Debts and Development Academy in Arusha.
Will a technician be there during the event?
Yes, for every rental. Setup the day before, at the desk during every session, pack down after.
What if the venue has no space for booths?
Tell us early. We’ve sourced booths for a venue that had no room for them, and we can run tabletop or portable setups where booths won’t fit.
Which languages can the system carry?
As many as you have booths. We’ve run English, French, Arabic, Portuguese, Spanish, Swahili and Somali, and Khmer and Bangla for a youth disability fund meeting.
Do you rent equipment outside Nairobi?
Yes. Our team has worked events in Mombasa, Naivasha, Diani, Arusha and Dar es Salaam.
