Abstract
Systems and methods are described to extract desired audio from an apparatus to be worn on a user's head. An apparatus includes a head wearable device and an array of at least three microphones. The at least three microphones are arranged along a plurality of at least two non-parallel axes. Selection logic is configured to identify a selected axis from the plurality and two microphones from the array that form the selected axis. A beamformer is configured to accept as inputs, signals from the two microphones and to output a main microphone channel and a reference microphone channel.
