Abstract

A controller for an audio device is provided. The controller receives a first collected sound signal and a second collected sound signal respectively provided by two microphones, and includes an echo cancellation module and a beamforming module. The echo cancellation module performs echo cancellation on the first collected sound signal to accordingly provide an intermediate signal. The beamforming module performs beamforming by utilizing the echo-cancelled intermediate signal and the non-echo-cancelled second collected sound signal.
