Claim Text:
1. A system for beamforming of audio input signals, comprising: a plurality of first microphones configured to resolve first audio input signals within a first frequency range; at least one second microphone configured to resolve second audio input signals within a second frequency range, the first frequency range having a lowest frequency greater than a lowest frequency of the second frequency range; a noise gating module configured to generate a restricted second audio input signals bound within a frequency range between the lowest frequency of the first audio input signals and the lowest frequency of the second audio input signals, or between the highest frequency of the first audio input signals and the highest frequency of the second audio input signals, said noise gating module couples to said plurality of first microphones and to said second microphones; and an augmented beamforming module that couples to said noise gating module, said augmented beamforming module is configured to:
