Claim 16:
17. A computing system comprising:
a memory; and
a processor configured to obtain one or more speech signals using a plurality of audio acquisition devices from a microphone array, thus defining audio encounter information, wherein the processor is further configured to select a reference audio acquisition device from the plurality of audio acquisition devices of an audio recording system based upon, at least in part, a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the audio encounter information from each audio acquisition device of the plurality of audio acquisition devices, to encode the audio encounter information of the reference audio acquisition device, thus defining encoded reference audio encounter information, to generate a plurality of acoustic relative transfer functions between the reference audio acquisition device and the plurality of audio acquisition devices of the audio recording system, and to transmitting the encoded reference audio encounter information and a representation of the plurality of acoustic relative transfer functions.
