Abstract
A sound processing apparatus includes a plurality of microphones spaced apart from each other, each microphone producing electrical signals representative of sound signals incident thereon. The sound processing apparatus also includes a signal processing unit that produces a specific direction sound signal by processing the electrical signals according to a specific sound direction. The plurality of microphones can be positioned about a periphery of a computer display, and adaptive beam forming techniques can be employed to provide a directional input sound signal for use in sound processing.
