Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2014162214A1] The invention concerns a high-performance method for evaluating a useful signal of an audio device, and in particular of an audio apparatus, for example for reducing interference. Accordingly the invention proposes a method in which at least two microphone signals are each obtained from a sound signal and a reference signal (n) is obtained from the microphone signals (x), a portion of the microphone signals (x) from a predetermined direction being blocked. The microphone signals are filtered by a filter (FILT) such that an evaluation signal (S~q) is obtained. To that end, a coherence value (Γ) is determined from portions of the reference signal (n) and a power density value (S) is determined from the coherence value. The filter is parameterized on the basis of the power density value (S).
