Abstract: A method for real-time monitoring of audio signals reception quality includes receiving output signals from a plurality of microphone clusters, each microphone cluster having at least two microphone units to receive audio signals from at least two distinct directions and output corresponding electrical signals; identifying comparative features of output signals for each of the microphone clusters; and selecting at least one microphone cluster based on the identified features. A system for real-time monitoring of audio signals reception quality includes a plurality of microphone clusters, each microphone cluster having at least two microphone units to receive audio signals from at least two distinct directions and output corresponding electrical signals; and a main audio unit to identify comparative features of output signals for each of the microphone clusters and to select at least one microphone cluster based on the identified features.
