Abstract
A method for controlling the sensitivity of at least one microphone in which video data of a sound source, in particular a speech source, is recorded by a camera. The camera is located in a predetermined position relative to the at least one microphone. A position of the sound source relative to the at least one microphone is determined as a function of the recorded video data and/or a focus setting of a lens of the camera. The sensitivity of the at least one microphone is adjusted as a function of the determined position.
