Complete equipment rental for simultaneous interpretation in São Paulo: transmitters, receivers, ISO booths and technical support. Quote in 60 seconds.
Digital transmitters, wireless receivers, ISO booths and on-site technical support. lingo delivers, installs and keeps a technician on site throughout the event — across Greater São Paulo.
Professional simultaneous interpretation requires more than a fluent interpreter. The technical system that supports the service — transmitters, receivers, booth and console — accounts for up to 40% of the quality perceived by the participant. A receiver with a weak battery, a poorly placed transmitter or a booth without adequate acoustic insulation compromises all of the interpreter's work, regardless of their skill.
That is why lingo offers complete equipment rental with an on-site sound technician included — not as a separate service, but as part of the package. The technician arrives 2 to 3 hours before the start for setup, calibration and a full test. During the event, they stay on site to step in immediately at any sign of instability.
The transmitter is the equipment that receives the audio from the interpreter's booth and distributes it to all participants' receivers. lingo uses digital RF transmitters exclusively — the most advanced standard available in 2026. Unlike infrared, which requires a line of sight between transmitter and receiver, digital RF operates on multiple frequencies with a range of up to 150 meters, passes through obstacles and supports up to 32 simultaneous channels without interference between them.
For multilingual events, each language pair runs on an independent channel. The participant selects the channel on the receiver and hears the interpretation in their preferred language, with no signal crossover. AES-128 encryption ensures the audio cannot be intercepted by external equipment — especially relevant in M&A events, due diligence and board meetings.
Receivers are the devices participants use to listen to the interpretation. The rule is simple: one receiver for each person who needs to listen. For events where the whole audience is foreign, 100% of participants need a receiver. For bilingual events where part of the audience speaks the event's language, 50 to 70% is the usual estimate.
lingo's receivers last 10 to 12 hours on a rechargeable battery — enough for full-day events. They are ergonomic, discreet and delivered with a disposable hygienic cover. For multi-day events, we provide bulk chargers to recharge the receiver fleet during breaks.
The booth is the interpreter's workspace. The ISO 4043 model is the international standard for formal events: 30 dB of acoustic insulation, comfortable space for two interpreters who rotate every 20 to 30 minutes, silent forced ventilation and tempered glass with a full view of the stage. It is mandatory at international congresses, medical conferences and large events.
For smaller meetings — due diligence, training sessions, arbitrations — the portable booth is enough. Setup takes 30 minutes with no tools, suitable for spaces with limited area. lingo assesses the space and recommends the right model before the contract is signed.

lingo serves the entire city of São Paulo and the Metropolitan Region with no travel fee. The main corporate hubs where we deliver regularly:
In 21 years of events, lingo has learned that the most important piece of equipment is not the transmitter — it is the technician who operates it. Technical problems in simultaneous interpretation rarely give advance warning: a receiver that stops working, a cable that comes loose, interference from another audio system in the venue. With an on-site technician, the intervention happens in seconds. Without one, the organizer has to stop the event, locate the problem and hope to fix it before the audience notices.
lingo's technical team is trained specifically to install and operate simultaneous interpretation systems — it is not a generic sound technician reassigned to the event. This means it knows exactly where to position the antenna for maximum coverage, how to integrate the transmitter with the venue's PA system and how to solve the most common problems without interrupting the program.

For recurring corporate events — quarterly training sessions, webinars with foreign speakers, multi-round M&A — lingo AI is an alternative that combines the most economical option for standardized technical content with artificial intelligence interpretation. Credits that never expire let you contract per event or through an annual package. lingo's AI is trained on 21 years of live simultaneous interpretation — with vocabulary from 24 sectors and 222 subsectors. Credits that never expire, activation in 24h and an automatic quote generated in 60 seconds.
Simulate lingo AI quote →Sizing starts with three questions: how many people will listen to the interpretation, how many languages the event will have and how long the system will be on air. The answer defines the number of receivers, transmitter channels and booths, as well as the size of the technical team.
For receivers, the rule is one device for each person who needs to listen. At events with a mostly foreign audience, the calculation is 100% of participants. At bilingual events, where part of the audience speaks the stage language, the usual estimate is 50 to 70%. Since lingo's fleet has more than 2,000 receivers available, the organizer does not need to cut the count for lack of devices.
For channels, each target language takes its own channel, and the digital RF transmitter supports up to 32. A congress with Portuguese, English and Spanish therefore uses only two interpretation channels from the stage, leaving ample room to expand the program.
For booths, the same logic applies: one booth per target language. The choice between ISO and portable depends on duration, audience size and venue noise, and the full comparison is in ISO booth vs portable equipment.
If the event has configuration questions, the shortest path is the automatic quote, which asks for languages, duration and number of participants and returns the price in 60 seconds. The quote amount is the final amount on the invoice.
Logistics is part of the service. lingo transports the equipment, delivers it on site, sets it up, tests it and picks it up after the event ends, across Greater São Paulo, with no travel fee and no extra charge for setup or dismantling.
On the day of the event, the technician arrives 2 to 3 hours before the start. They position the antennas, integrate the transmitter with the venue's sound system, calibrate the channels, install the booths and hand out the receivers at the reception desk or on the seats, as agreed. Before releasing the system, they run an end-to-end test with the interpreters.
During the event, the technician stays on site. They monitor audio levels, swap receivers with low batteries, guide participants who don't know how to use the device and resolve any interference. At the end, they collect the equipment, check the inventory and dismantle the booths.
At multi-day events, the bulk chargers recharge the receiver fleet overnight, and the technician checks the system before each day opens.
Every kit includes spares. lingo brings at least 10% extra receivers and a spare transmitter, installed or ready to go into operation. If a device stops, the technician swaps it in less than 2 minutes, without interrupting the event.
This policy exists because failures in interpretation systems rarely give warning. A battery that didn't charge, a cable that comes loose or interference from other audio equipment in the venue show up at the worst moment. With an on-site technician and spares on hand, the incident becomes an operational detail, not a problem for the organizer.
The transmitter's AES-128 encryption protects content at sensitive events, such as M&A, due diligence, board meetings and arbitrations. When the contract requires formal confidentiality, lingo signs an NDA valid for 5 years, and the technical team follows the same commitment as the interpreters.
The same fleet serves different formats. In smaller meetings, the transmitter and receivers work with a portable booth, without an ISO booth. At congresses, ISO modules and the modular system make it possible to scale to thousands of participants.
At hybrid events, the interpreters' audio also feeds the online broadcast, and the technician integrates the system with the video platform. The format is explained in simultaneous interpretation at hybrid events. For fully virtual meetings, the alternative is platform-based interpretation, described in simultaneous interpretation platforms.
Those comparing modalities can consult simultaneous vs consecutive, which shows when consecutive interpretation does away with most of the equipment. And those who need the technical selection guide will find the step-by-step in how to choose simultaneous interpretation equipment.
The price depends on the number of receivers, the number of languages, the type of booth, the duration and the need for a site survey or a second technical team. For that reason, lingo does not publish a fixed price list: the automatic quote calculates the exact price from the form.
The main cost components are the number of receivers, the number of booths and the event duration. Travel within Greater São Paulo, setup, dismantling and the on-site technician are already included. The breakdown of factors is in how much simultaneous interpretation costs in São Paulo.
When comparing proposals, check whether the competitor includes an on-site technician, equipment spares and travel. Lower quotes don't always include these items, and the difference shows up later, as an extra cost or as a risk during the event.
