ABSTRACT:
A microphone compensation system responds to changes in the characteristics of individual microphones in an array of microphones. The microphone compensation system provides a communication system with consistent performance despite microphone aging, widely varying environmental conditions, and other factors that alter the characteristics of the microphones. Furthermore, lengthy, complex, and costly measurement and analysis phases for determining initial settings for filters in the communication system are eliminated.
