Abstract:
A directional microphone apparatus and directivity control method that corrects a level difference and a phase difference generated in a low band in a plurality of non-directional microphone units, improve the directivity, and reduce the size are provided. Level difference calculation section (105) calculates the level difference between first signal x1(t) obtained by first non-directional microphone unit (101) and second signal x2(t) obtained by second non-directional microphone unit (102), and correction parameter calculation section (106) calculates coefficients of a linear IIR filter configuring correction process section (103) based on the level difference. Correction process section (103) simultaneously corrects the level difference and a phase difference in the low band between two non-directional microphone units by using the calculated coefficients.
