Abstract

A microphone module comprises a housing, an audio bus, and a first plurality of microphones in communication with the audio bus. The microphone module further comprises a module processor in communication with the first plurality of microphones and the audio bus. The module processor is configured to detect the presence of an array processor in communication with the audio bus, detect the presenceof a second microphone module in communication with the audio bus, and configure the audio bus to pass audio signals from both the first plurality of microphones and the second microphone module to the array processor.

Description

[0001] Cross reference of related applications [0002] This application claims the rights of U.S. Patent Application No. 62 / 451,480 filed on January 27, 2017, the entire content of which is incorporated herein by reference. Technical field [0003] This application generally relates to an array microphone module and its system. Specifically, the present application relates to a configurable system of microphone array modules that can be connected with other similar microphone array modules to produce a modular microphone array module. Background technique [0004] Meeting environments (e.g., conference rooms, boardrooms, video conferencing applications, and the like) may involve the use of microphones to capture sound from various audio sources that are active in such environments. Such audio sources may include, for example, people who speak. The captured sound can be distributed to local audiences or (for example, via television broadcasting and / or network broadcasting) to othe...
