Williams AV DWS INT 2 400 ALK – Interpretation System for 1 Presenter, 10 Listeners

Product Overview

The Williams AV DWS INT 2 400 ALK is a compact simultaneous interpretation system for one presenter or interpreter and ten listeners, built on the Digi-Wave 400 digital wireless platform. It is an entry point into professional language interpretation equipment for small courtrooms, huddle-room training, clinic consultations, and house-of-worship classes — delivering encrypted 2.4 GHz audio with no base station, no AC-powered transmitter, and no FCC licensing.

Product Description

This single-interpreter package centers on one DLT 400 digital transceiver with a MIC 144 headset microphone. Ten DLR 400 ALK receivers with EAR 022 surround earphones serve the listening group, each powered by two AAA alkaline batteries (ten BAT 010-2 cells included) for up to 30 hours of runtime. The transceiver itself is rechargeable with an internal lithium-polymer battery rated for up to 16 hours of talk time, so a full day of interpretation runs on a single overnight charge.

Digi-Wave 400 transmits frequency-hopping digital spread-spectrum audio that resists interference, reduces background noise, and compensates for room acoustics and listener distance. The signal passes through glass and curtain walls, supporting interpreter positions in adjacent rooms or behind viewing-room glass — a common requirement in courts and medical facilities. Optional 87+128-bit encryption with a secure PIN protects confidential conversations.

Because the platform is modular, this starter kit grows with demand: add receivers for larger audiences (listener count is unlimited) or additional DLT 400 transceivers for more languages, up to 14 translated channels plus floor. The system also operates as a two-way wireless intercom or one-way tour system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is this system sized for?

One interpreter or presenter and up to ten listeners — typical for small court hearings, parent-teacher conferences, clinic consultations, factory tours, and worship classes. The Digi-Wave 400 platform lets you add receivers or language channels later without replacing anything.

Does the interpreter have to be in the same room as the audience?

No. The 2.4 GHz signal transmits through glass and interior walls with up to 900 feet of range, so the interpreter can work from an adjacent room, booth, or viewing area.

How is the transceiver charged if no charger is listed?

The DLT 400 charges over its USB-C port (or in an optional CHG 412 drop-in charger). Receivers use standard AAA alkaline batteries, so no charging dock is required for the listener units.

Can the system handle confidential discussions?

Yes. Optional 87+128-bit encryption with an encryption PIN and settings lock secures the wireless link for legal, medical, and personnel conversations.

Is this compatible with larger Digi-Wave 400 systems we may buy later?

Fully. All DLT 400 transceivers and DLR 400 receivers share the same group/channel structure, so this starter kit folds directly into a larger fleet such as the DWS INT 3 or INT 5 packages.

What warranty and support come with it?

Williams AV provides a 2-year warranty against component failure and manufacturing defects. Creation Networks offers commercial AV support before and after the sale.
