    Abstract: Systems and methods for stereo separation and directional suppression are provided. An example method includes receiving a first audio signal, representing sound captured by a first microphone associated with a first location, and a second audio signal, representing sound captured by a second microphone associated with a second location. The microphones comprise omni-directional microphones. The distance between the first and second microphones is limited by the size of a mobile device. A first channel signal of a stereo signal is generated by forming, based on the first and second audio signals, a first beam at the first location. A second channel signal of the stereo signal is generated by forming, based on the first and second audio signals, a second beam at the second location. First and second directions, associated respectively with the first and second beams, are fixed relative to a line between the first and second locations.

    Abstract: A method for reducing noise within an acoustic signal includes receiving at least a primary acoustic signal from a primary microphone and a secondary acoustic signal from a different, secondary microphone, wherein the primary acoustic signal includes a speech component emanating from a user and a noise component. The method also includes measuring a first value of a first coefficient based on the primary and secondary signals and performing a noise cancellation process based on the measured first value of the first coefficient to produce a set of noise-cancelled primary sub-bands. The method also includes generating, by the processor, a set of multiplicative gain mask values, the multiplicative gain mask values having a frequency dependency that is based at least in part on a pre-indicated approximate sound pressure level of the speech component.
