 ===== What you should provide =====
+==== At a location-based event ====
+Ideally, you can provide us with the following setup:
+  * A soundproofed booth per language for each stage
+    * Positioned so the stage can be seen from the booth
+      * Ideally the booth is elevated above viewers
+      * Alternatively a screen in the booth with the current slides can suffice
+    * With a desk, desk lamp, and 3 padded chairs
+    * At least 2 free power sockets near the desk
+    * Water and ideally cough drops (sage) or similar for the interpreters
+    * Points of contact or numbers for tech issues and stage managers
+      * [C3] Ideally a phone to communicate with stage managers
+    * 2 interpretation consoles for each booth, with the following features:
+      * Headphones (or worst-case a 3.5mm Headphone connector) to listen to stage/speaker audio
+        * Floor volume can be controlled from the console/by the interpreter
+        * Ideally the microphone audio can also be directly fed back into the headphones, with controllable volume
+        * Ideally an additional headphone output for a 3rd interpreter
+      * Microphone to get the interpreted signal to the mixer/FOH
+        * Each microphone should be switchable (on/off)
+        * A cough button to temporarily interrupt the signal is optional but appreciated
+        * Ideally, both microphones can be active simultaneously
+  * [C3] A room for the interpretation team to prepare talks and assign shifts
+    * Tables, Chairs
+    * Power for plenty of laptops, phones
+    * Ideally a TV/projector
+    * Ideally a water heater, tea and honey
+  * A way to manage, mix, and route audio, usually a mixer/FOH - **provided and managed by you or people you hire**
+  * A way to distribute the interpreted signal - **provided and managed by you or people you hire**
+    * If there is a public stream, it should have a ducked version of the floor audio mixed in
+    * Distribution to the live audience is possible via our website, if the audio can be fed into our mumble server. Contact our techs for this.

+Typically, we can do two languages at once; usually DE/EN, and a second language like FR, ES, etc. This means that you should plan to take two mono audio sources for the two translations.
