Microphone Recommendations and Requirements for Remote Interpretation

Microphones used by participants in virtual meetings requiring simultaneous interpretation must reproduce voice frequencies between 125 Hz and 15000 Hz to provide adequate sound quality to allow for simultaneous interpretation, as established in the International Standards Organisation (ISO) standard 20109.

There are several different products on the market that meet the above-mentioned criteria and that can be used with a computer via the USB port. See suggestions of models below. Please note that the prices listed are subject to change based on the retailer.
