A microphone array device including microphone capsules and at least one processing unit configured to receive output signals of the microphone capsules, dynamically steer an audio beam based on the received output signal of the microphone capsules, and generate and provide an audio output signal based on the received output signal of the microphone capsules. The processing unit is configured to operate in a dynamic beam mode where at least one focused audio beam is formed that points towards a detected audio source and in a default beam mode where a broader audio beam is formed that covers substantially a default detection area. The microphone array may be incorporated into a conference system.

Microphone array device, conference system including microphone array device and method of controlling a microphone array device

A mobile conference system including a first mobile master hands-free unit and a second mobile slave hands-free unit, each having a microphone, a loudspeaker, a battery unit, an operating unit, a lighting unit, and a first transmitting/receiving unit for bidirectional wireless communication between the first and second mobile hands-free units. The first mobile hands-free unit includes a second transmitting/receiving unit for wireless bidirectional audio communication with an external unit. The first mobile hands-free unit is configured to wirelessly transmit audio signals received from the external unit via the second transmitting/receiving unit to the second mobile hands-free unit via the first transmitting/receiving unit, to mix audio signals received from the second mobile hands-free unit via the first transmitting/receiving unit with audio signals recorded via the at least one microphone of the first hands-free unit, and to wirelessly transmit said audio signals to the external unit via the second transmitting/receiving unit.
