Abstract
A microphone-loudspeaker integrated apparatus includes a plurality of microphones, a loudspeaker, and a synthesis unit. The loudspeaker is disposed between the plurality of microphones. The synthesis unit synthesizes sounds collected from the plurality of microphones. A distance between the plurality of microphones is set so as to fall within a range within which sound at a frequency needed for recognizing voice is collectable and within a range within which a noise amount due to vibration of the loudspeaker is allowable, when voice recognition is performed based on sound obtained through synthesis by the synthesis unit.
