Audio capture with multiple microphones

A method comprising:

• determining one of a first or a second use cases in which an apparatus is operating, wherein the apparatus comprises a housing and at least three microphones suitably located connected to the housing so as to enable usage of the at least three microphones in at least two different use cases, comprising:
• the first use case and the second use case, wherein each of the at least three microphones is selectively used in the apparatus in each of the at least two different use cases based on an enabled use case, and wherein the first use case is configured to provide communication audio and the second use case is configured to provide audio capture;
• and
• selecting each of the at least three microphones for use in the determined first or second use case based,
• at least partially, on:
• one or more predetermined signal roles associated with the determined first or second use case, wherein a signal from each respective one of the at least three microphones is used for at least one of the one or more predetermined signal roles, and
• at least one feature from a plurality of selectable features for the determined first or second use case, wherein the at least one feature is enabled by the apparatus, according to a selection of the at least one feature, based, at least partially, on the suitably located at least three microphones of the apparatus.

A computer program product comprising a computer-readable medium bearing computer program code embodied therein which when executed with an apparatus, causes the apparatus to perform:

• determining one of a first or a second use cases in which the apparatus is operating, wherein the apparatus comprises a housing and at least three microphones suitably located connected to the housing so as to enable usage of the at least three microphones in at least two different use cases, comprising:
• the first use case and the second use case, wherein each of the at least three microphones is selectively used in the apparatus in each of the at least two different use cases based on an enabled use case, and wherein the first use case is configured to provide communication audio and the second use case is configured to provide audio capture;
• and
• selecting each of the at least three microphones for use in the determined first or second use case based, at least partially, on:
• one or more predetermined signal roles associated with the determined first or second use case, wherein a signal from each respective one of the at least three microphones is used for at least one of the one or more predetermined signal roles, and
• at least one feature from a plurality of selectable features for the determined first or second use case, wherein the at least one feature is enabled by the apparatus, according to a selection of the at least one feature, based, at least partially, on the suitably located at least three microphones of the apparatus.
