Preface

The topic of spherical microphone array signal processing has been gaining importance since the publications of Meyer and Elko around 2002, and fuelled by many others since. Sound is unavoidably influenced by the space in which it is rendered, as we all know from personal experience, and the capability of microphone arrays to capture the spatial information is both fascinating and intriguing. The English physicist Charles Wheatstone is credited with the first use of the term ‘microphone’. However, it was not until the carbon microphone, invented by David Hughes and demonstrated in 1877, that the concept of capturing sound as an electrical signal became established. The invention by Gerhard Sessler and Jim West of the electret microphone in 1962, and further developments of condenser microphone technology in particular, led t
