Patent ID: 8913757

Claim:
A system that enhances spatialization with a satellite microphone comprising: an array device that processes first incoming audio signals and converts the audio signals into electrical signals; a satellite input device that processes second incoming audio signals received at one or more locations distant from the array device; a processor; and a non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer program code that, when executed, causes the processor to: analyze the first incoming audio signals and the second incoming audio signals to derive a direction of the second incoming audio signals received by the satellite input device relative to the first incoming audio signals received by the array device; smooth the derived direction over time; determine whether the satellite input device has changed location relative to the array device; in response to a determination that the satellite device has changed location, update the derived direction in a memory; and proportionally mix an output of a satellite input device signal into one or more audio channels of a multichannel output signal.
