Microphone assembly having a reconfigurable geometry

A microphone assembly for acquiring a plurality of audio signals, the microphone assembly having a reconfigurable geometry so that the microphone assembly may be configured to be embedded in or attached to a body, the microphone assembly comprising:

• a plurality of digital microphones configured to convert a sound signal impinging on each of the digital microphones into a corresponding digital electrical signal, wherein the digital electrical signal is a Pulse-Code-Modulation (PCM) or a Pulse-Density-Modulation (PDM) digital serial electrical signal;
• a digital signal processor comprising a serial digital communication interface and a processor, wherein the serial digital communication interface is configured to receive the digital electrical signals provided by the plurality of digital microphones, and wherein the processor is configured to store, transmit, and/or process the digital electrical signals provided by the plurality of digital microphones;
• and
• a connecting and mounting structure configured to provide a flexible electrical connection and a flexible mechanical arrangement for the plurality of digital microphones, wherein the connecting and mounting structure comprises a plurality of wired connections configured to connect the plurality of digital microphones with the serial digital communication interface in such a way that at least one of the plurality of digital microphones is moveable relative to the others.
