Abstract: A sound processing node is provided for an arrangement of sound processing nodes configured to receive a plurality of sound signals. The sound processing node comprises a processor configured to generate an output signal based on the plurality of sound signals weighted by a plurality of beamforming weights. The processor is configured to adaptively determine the plurality of beamforming weights on the basis of an adaptive linearly constrained minimum variance beamformer using a transformed version of a least mean squares formulation of a constrained gradient descent approach. The transformed version of the least mean squares formulation of the constrained gradient descent approach is based on a transformation of the least mean squares formulation of the constrained gradient descent approach to the dual domain.
