Abstract: An electronic device includes a microphone array configured to capture audio data, one or more sensors configured to detect an orientation of the microphone array, and digital signal processing (DSP) logic, and an interface. The DSP logic processes, based on the orientation of the microphone array detected by the one or more sensors, the audio data captured by the microphone array to form audio input data. The interface configured to transmit the audio input data over a communications channel to be output by another electronic device.

Abstract: A method of performing equalization of audio signals to be provided to the speakers of a client device is based on determining a target position for the client device in the environment. Sensors in the client device may capture data of the environment. The sensor data is analyzed to determine location information associated with one or more target individuals in the environment. Audio signals that are to be provided to an audio output system of the client device are equalized based on the target position to compensate for an expected loss in the audio signal between the client device and the determined target position. The equalized audio signals are provided to the speakers of the client device for audio playback.
