Problem to be Solved To effectively operate a microphone array provided with a sound source position estimating function. Solution A microphone control system of the present invention is realized by the use of a tablet-type computer, for example. On the display of the control system, a two-dimensional simulation diagram, for example, simulating the space in which the microphone array is disposed. An array marksimulating the exterior shape of the microphone array is displayed on the simulation diagram. Further, a sound source markindicating the position of the sound source estimated by the microphone array is displayed on the simulation diagram. Thus, an operator can intuitively find the position of the sound source in the space in which the microphone array is disposed, by referring to the simulation diagram, the array markand the sound source markdisplayed on the simulation diagram. Thus, the usage of the microphone array is improved.
