This configuration has four target languages, four interpreter booths, four interpreter consoles, eight interpreters, and relay. 

Each interpreter booth operates independently. All monitor the floor signal via the FLOOR IN connection.  A distribution amplifier is needed to provide the floor signal to each IC-1.

Each interpreter booth selects the NORM button to send a microphone signal via the NORM OUT connection to the Transmitter for their language. The “Pivot” booth provides the relay signal via the NORM OUT connection to a second distribution amplifier.  The distribution amplifier sends the relay signal to the English transmitter and to each of the other interpreter booths via the RELAY IN connection on their IC-1.

When the other three interpreter booths select NORM, they are listening to the original floor signal and their voice is being sent to their transmitter. When they select RELAY, they are listening to the pivot interpreter booth (usually speaking English) and their voice is sent to their transmitter.

With J1 closed on all IC-1’s, the floor signal will feedthru the NORM OUT connection to the Transmitter when the interpreter selects OFF. This allows the listeners to hear the floor language directly when it is their native language.
