A method for implementation in an active noise reduction, ANR, device comprising a plurality of feedforward microphones, the method comprising: receiving a first input signal representing audio captured by a first feedforward microphone disposed in a feedforward signal path of the active noise reduction (ANR) device ; receiving a second input signal representing audio captured by a second feedforward microphone disposed in the feedforward signal path of the ANR device; and processing , by at least one compensator , the first input signal and the second input signal to generate a drive signal for an acoustic transducer of the ANR device, wherein, prior to said processing by the at least one compensator, a gain is applied to the feedforward signal path, the gain being reduced based on the number of feedforward microphones of said plurality and being at least 3dB less relative to an ANR signal path having a single sensor, the method further comprising: applying, using a first amplifier , a first gain to the first input signal; applying, using a second amplifier , a second gain to the second input signal; combining the first input signal and the second input signal to generate a combined input signal; and filtering, by the at least one compensator , the combined input signal to generate the drive signal for the acoustic transducer, wherein the first and second gains are adjusted separately such that the one of the first and second feedforward microphones that is more susceptible to coupling with the acoustic transducer has a lower gain as compared to the other one of the first and second feedforward microphones that is less susceptible to coupling. receiving a first input signal representing audio captured by a first feedforward microphone disposed in a feedforward signal path of the active noise reduction (ANR) device ; receiving a second input signal representing audio captured by a second feedforward microphone disposed in the feedforward signal path of the ANR device; and processing , by at least one compensator , the first input signal and the second input signal to generate a drive signal for an acoustic transducer of the ANR device, wherein, prior to said processing by the at least one compensator, a gain is applied to the feedforward signal path, the gain being reduced based on the number of feedforward microphones of said plurality and being at least 3dB less relative to an ANR signal path having a single sensor, the method further comprising: applying, using a first amplifier , a first gain to the first input signal; applying, using a second amplifier , a second gain to the second input signal; combining the first input signal and the second input signal to generate a combined input signal; and filtering, by the at least one compensator , the combined input signal to generate the drive signal for the acoustic transducer, wherein the first and second gains are adjusted separately such that the one of the first and second feedforward microphones that is more susceptible to coupling with the acoustic transducer has a lower gain as compared to the other one of the first and second feedforward microphones that is less susceptible to coupling. applying, using a first amplifier , a first gain to the first input signal; applying, using a second amplifier , a second gain to the second input signal; combining the first input signal and the second input signal to generate a combined input signal; and filtering, by the at least one compensator , the combined input signal to generate the drive signal for the acoustic transducer, wherein the first and second gains are adjusted separately such that the one of the first and second feedforward microphones that is more susceptible to coupling with the acoustic transducer has a lower gain as compared to the other one of the first and second feedforward microphones that is less susceptible to coupling. <EOS>
