Abstract:
A plurality of microphone signals can be captured with a plurality of microphones of the device. One or more echo dominant audio signals can be determined based on a pick-up beam directed towards one or more speakers of a playback device. Sound that is emitted from the one or more speakers and sensed by the plurality of microphones can be removed from plurality of microphone signals, by using the one or more echo dominant audio signals as a reference, resulting in clean audio.
