Sound signal reception is improved by utilizing a plurality of microphones to capture sound signals which are then weighed to dynamically adjust signal quality. A first sound signal and a second sound signal are obtained from first and second microphones, respectively, where the first and second sound signals originate from one or more sound sources. A first signal characteristic (e.g., signal power, signal signal-to-noise ratio, etc.) is obtained for the first sound signal and a second signal characteristic is obtained for the second sound signal. The first and second sound signals are weighed or scaled based on their respective first and second signal characteristics. The weighed first and second sound signals are then combined to obtain an output sound signal.
