Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the mixture of noise or echo at a communication equipment installing a microphone comparatively away from a speaker by providing a main microphone and plural sub microphones. CONSTITUTION:For signals sound-collected at sub microphones 15a-15e provided on the wall or ceiling of a room, the levels are calculated by level detectors 16a-16e and weighted by weighters 17a-17e. The value of weighting is set so as to be coincident with an attenuated variable until sounds reflected from the wall or ceiling fitting the respective sub microphones 15a-15e arrive at a main microphone 11. Therefore, the output of an adder 18 is turned to the predictive level of the echo inputted to the main microphone 11. An attenuated variable controller 14 compares this predictive echo level with a main microphone level outputted from a level detector 13. When both levels are almost equal, for example, it is judged that the main component of the signal inputted to the main microphone 11 is echo, and the attenuated variable of an attenuator 12 is increased.
