Abstract

A method synthesizes a microphone signal from a coincident microphone arrangement through multiple pressure gradient transducers. The pressure gradient transducers have directional characteristics that include an omni portion and a figure-eight portion. The direction of maximum sensitivity of the transducers lies within in a main direction. The method synthesizes a signal by forming a difference signal and a summed signal from the output of the two pressure gradient transducers. The difference and summed signals are converted into the frequency domain before the signals are spectrally subtracted. The method designates a representative phase to the magnitude of the spectrally subtracted signal. The phase corresponds to the phase of the summed signal. The signal and phase is then converted into the time domain.
