Abstract

An apparatus includes multiple microphones to generate audio signals based on sound of a far-field acoustic environment. The apparatus also includes a signal processing system to process the audio signals to generate at least one processed audio signal. The signal processing system is configured to update one or more processing parameters while operating in a first operational mode and is configured to use a static version of the one or more processing parameters while operating in the second operational mode. The apparatus further includes a keyword detection system to perform keyword detection based on the at least one processed audio signal to determine whether the sound includes an utterance corresponding to a keyword and, based on a result of the keyword detection, to send a control signal to the signal processing system to change an operational mode of the signal processing system.
