Abstract
A sound processing node for an arrangement of sound processing nodes is disclosed. The sound processing nodes being configured to receive a plurality of sound signals, wherein the sound processing node comprises a processor configured to determine a beamforming signal on the basis of the plurality of sound signals weighted by a plurality of weights, wherein the processor is configured to determine the plurality of weights using a transformed version of a linearly constrained minimum variance approach, the transformed version of the linearly constrained minimum variance approach being obtained by applying a convex relaxation to the linearly constrained minimum variance approach.
