Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for networked audio automixing using array microphones and an aggregator unit that participate in making a common gating decision to determine which channels to gate on and off. Through the use of such a network of array microphones having the capability to generate submix audio signals and reduced bandwidth metrics, as well as AEC processing capability, array microphone lobe selection can be enhanced while maximizing signal-to-noise ratio, increasing intelligibility, and increasing user satisfaction.
