Test setup for beamforming

Networked microphones (VerMi project) 2015 - 2017

The project was supported by the central innovation program for small and medium-sized enterprises (Zentralen Innovationsprogramm Mittelstand, ZIM).

Funding period: 2015 - 2017

Project description

Array microphones are frequently used in the field of speech signal applications. The VerMi project focuses on the development of hard- and software components for array microphones combined with signal processing within an Ethernet-based audio network. The proposed application is intended for conferencing systems. The array microphones with beam steering are used to span multiple speakers’ recording areas. The benefit is the elimination of separate table microphones for the speakers.
