Microphones arranged in an array shape along a longitudinal direction are respectively formed in both the longitudinal side surfaces of a housing 2 with substantially an elongated rectangular parallelepiped shape, and speakers arranged in an array shape along the longitudinal direction are formed in a lower surface. The speaker array forms sound emission beams based on sound emission directivity set according to a conference environment. On the other hand, when the microphone array forms sound collection beams by sound collection signals collected, a talker direction is detected from these beams and an output sound signal corresponding to this direction is formed and also is reflected on setting of the sound emission directivity. Also, when there are plural input sound signals, the sound emission directivity is set according to a use situation of the plural input sound signals.
