Abstract

Method, device and computer program product for processing signals. Signals are received at a plurality of sensors of the device. The initiation of a signal state in which signals of a particular type are received at the plurality of sensors is determined. Responsive to the determining of the initiation of the signal state, data indicating beamformer coefficients to be applied by a beamformer of the device is retrieved from data storage means, wherein the indicated beamformer coefficients are determined so as to be suitable for application to signals received at the sensors in the signal state. The beamformer applies the indicated beamformer coefficients to the signals received at the sensors in the signal state, thereby generating a beamformer output.
