Abstract

An acoustic noise canceling microphone arrangement and processor that uses a principal microphone and other microphones that may be incidentally or deliberately located in the vicinity of the principal microphone in order to derive an audio signal of enhanced signal-to-background noise ratio. In one implementation, the principal and incidental microphones comprise the microphone built into a mobile phone and the microphone built into a Bluetooth headset.
