Method for use with a speakerphone system that corrects for mechanical vibrations

A method for substantially eliminating the effect of mechanical vibration on an audio input to a speakerphone system, the method comprising:

• receiving an input sound acoustic signal at a microphone (mic);
• converting the received input sound acoustic signal into an input sound electrical signal, and outputting the same as a mic output signal;
• receiving mechanical vibrations at a mechanical vibration sensor (MVS);
• converting the received mechanical vibrations into a mechanical vibration error signal, and outputting the same as an MVS output signal;
• generating a speakerphone system output signal by subtracting the MVS output signal from the mic output signal;
• broadcasting an output sound from at least one loudspeaker into a volume of space exterior to that of the enclosure;
• generating the mechanical vibrations on the enclosure resulting from the broadcast output sound;
• broadcasting a backscatter sound into a volume of space within the enclosure;
• and
• generating the mechanical vibrations resulting from a combination of the output sound broadcast externally to the enclosure and the backscatter sound broadcast into the volume of the enclosure.
