There are two additional audio channels used for language interpretation. In bilingual meetings, participants speak their
native language into the microphone and listen to the interpretation on headphones.

Interpreters use the portable DC 5980 P to transmit simultaneous language interpretation of the discussion.
Participants listen to their desired language channel on any microphone unit with a headphone output.
