Advanced speech encoding dual microphone configuration (DMC)

A system, comprising:

• a headset;
• a processor included in the headset;
• a memory device included in the headset and coupled with the processor;
• a wireless transceiver included in the headset and coupled with the processor;
• a microphone array included in the headset, the microphone array including a plurality of microphones coupled with the processor;
• a plurality of receptacles positioned in the headset, the plurality of receptacles define an axis,
• a first microphone in the plurality of microphones having a first vector normal to a first front of the first microphone, the first vector approximately parallel with the axis, and a first receptacle of the plurality of receptacles is configured to receive and hold the first microphone,
• a second microphone in the plurality of microphones is positioned on the axis at a first distance from the first microphone, the second microphone having a second vector normal to a second front of the second microphone, and the second of the of the plurality of the receptacles is configured to receive and hold the second microphone, wherein the second vector forms an angle relative to the first vector, and
• a vent positioned in proximity to one or more of the plurality of microphones, the vent having a first diameter that is less than a diameter of one or more of the plurality of microphones;
• logic configured to determine whether the first microphone or the second microphone are closer to a speech source;
• and
• an adaptive noise removal application that receives acoustic signals from the first microphone and the second microphone and generates a denoised acoustic output signal.
