Claim Text:
1. A pickup system comprising: a wind detector configured to receive first and second input signals, the wind detector including: a plurality of analyzers each configured to analyze the first and second input signals; and a combiner configured to combine outputs of the plurality of analyzers and issue, based on the combined outputs, a wind level indication sinal indicative of wind activity; and a wind suppressor including: a ratio calculator configured to generate a ratio of sub-band powers of the first and second input signals; and a mixer configured to select one of the first or second input signals and to apply to said selected input signal one of first or second panning coefficients based on the wind level indication signal and on the ratio, the other of the first or second input signals being unselected, wherein: application of the first or second panning coefficients is a function of a ratio of the first and second input signals; and one of the first or second panning coefficients α is defined as where WindLevel is wind detector output signal provided to the wind suppressor, Ratio is a current ratio of the sub-band powers (in dB) for the first and second input signals, and RatioTgt is a pre-selected ratio value for the sub-band powers (in dB) of the first and second input signals.
