Shure has released the IH6500 for use by professional interpreters preferring an integrated headset.
The IH6500 provides excellent speech intelligibility, comfortable fit, and multiple connectivity options for use in multi-language meetings and conferences. The dual-sided design has removable ear pads, allowing convenient cleaning, and also features a flexible gooseneck microphone boom that pivots through 270°. The IH6500 is compatible with Shure DCS 6000-series Interpreter Sets, including the IS 6132 P.
‘Comfort is essential when performing interpretation jobs and we kept this top of mind when designing the IH6500,’ says Conferencing Products Shure Senior Manager, Chris Lyons. ‘The lightweight and compact fit gives more freedom of movement, accommodates extended wear, and offers a high-quality alternative to using a gooseneck microphone. The earphone speakers are designed to maximise speech intelligibility.’
During meetings and events, the IH6500 enables interpreters to move around or lean back in their chair while maintaining a consistent audio level and quality. The cardioid microphone is positioned close to the mouth to reduce pickup of adjacent voices and minimise background noise. International organisations, national and regional government bodies, and hotels and convention centres can use the IH6500 at temporary events or as a permanent installation within a facility. The included removable earpads help promote hygiene, as they can be changed between users. Interpreters can wear the IH6500 with the mic on the left or right side and have access to the included 3.5mm TRSS and DIN adapter cables to permit use with a variety of interpreter units.
The Shure DCS 6000 Digital Conference System complements the IH6500. With comprehensive hardware and software options, the DCS 6000 can conform to the specific needs or protocols of any group or organisation, from city councils to global enterprises.
