HISTORY

Brähler Systems can look back on a company history spanning more than 6 decades.
We look back on significant milestones, starting with the founding of the company by Helmut Brähler in 1959.

1959 – The beginning


Helmut Brähler founded the company in 1959 and coined the term “conference technology”. In Bonn, he designed, invented and built the first simultaneous interpreting system. Entrepreneurial courage and a relentless pursuit of innovation made him a pioneer in congress technology.

1961 – The milestone


Brähler’s single-cable technology sets a milestone in conference technology. Most of today’s wired systems are based on this principle. This cabling technique shortens and simplifies assembly and disassembly. This is especially important for rental systems, where reliable operation and time are the critical factors.

1969 – The network


The Brähler ICS network is now the oldest and largest rental network in the world. The members undertake to comply with particularly high quality standards. Together with partners, Brähler rents and sells conference technology “made by Brähler” and guarantees reliable, durable products and a highly professional, holistic event service.

Wherever the event takes place, a Brähler ICS Project Manager takes care of the entire organization on site – worldwide: in Africa, America, Asia, Australia and Europe. Brähler’s service is based on the experience of more than 100,000 conferences.

1976 – The launch


The year of the deployment of two DIGIMIC systems (300 microphones) at the UN Conference on Human Settlements in Vancouver and the launch of Digimic – the world’s first software-controlled conference system! Digivote – the world’s first computerized voting and interaction system using single-cable technology – followed shortly thereafter.

1985 – The feature


As an indicator that a microphone is switched on, Brähler invents the illuminated ring. This feature has now been copied by all major manufacturers of microphone technology. However, when comparing shape, quality and illuminance, the old adage proves true: You can’t beat the original!

1991 – The technology


The world’s first wireless voting system DIGIVOTE, introduction of the smart card in conference technology and the first fully digital conference system with integrated DSP technology in 2000. The latter enables a voice quality that is still unmatched today.

With brählerOS, Brähler Systems has designed a completely new and future-proof conference software based on the DIGIMIC hardware family for the management, preparation, control and follow-up of one or more conferences. This provides the individual operator with an intuitive, task-optimized interface for simple and effective operation.
