  • Patent number: 10827259
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a microphone assembly (100) for acquiring a plurality of audio signals, wherein the microphone assembly (100) has a reconfigurable geometry so that the microphone assembly (100) may be configured to be embedded in or attached to a body. The microphone assembly (100) comprises: a plurality of digital microphones (101a-h) configured to convert the sound signal impinging on each digital microphone into a corresponding digital electrical signal, a digital signal processing unit (102) comprising a serial digital communication interface (102a) and a processor (102b), and a connecting and mounting structure configured to provide a flexible electrical connection and a flexible mechanical arrangement for the plurality of digital microphones (101a-h).

  • Patent number: 10743126
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method and to an apparatus, both arranged for controlling acoustic signals to be recorded or reproduced by an electro-acoustical sound system. An initial digital filter is determined by solving an inverse problem, wherein the initial digital filter is configured to control acoustic signals to be recorded and/or reproduced by the electro-acoustical sound system; a frequency-dependent articulation parameter is determined by executing a time spectral psychoacoustic automatic audio quality test on the initial digital filter; a frequency-dependent regularization parameter, used for determining the initial digital filter, is tuned by use of the frequency-dependent articulation parameter; and, by use of the tuned frequency-dependent regularization parameter, a digital filter configured to control acoustic signals to be recorded or reproduced by the electro-acoustical sound system is determined.
