Abstract

Methods and apparatus to analyze microphone placement for watermarks and signatures are disclosed. An example instructions cause one or more processors to at least determine a variance of a magnitude spectrum of a frequency band corresponding to a frequency spectrum of a first audio signal sensed with an audio sensor. The example instructions further cause the one or more processors to determine, based on the variance, a recovery rate associated with at least one of watermark detection or signature generation to be performed on a second audio signal to be sensed with the audio sensor.
