Disclosed are methods and systems which convert a multi-microphone input signal to a multichannel output signal making use of a time- and frequency-varying matrix. For each time and frequency tile, the matrix is derived as a function of a dominant direction of arrival and a steering strength parameter. Likewise, the dominant direction and steering strength parameter are derived from characteristics of the multi-microphone signals, where those characteristics include values representative of the inter-channel amplitude and group-delay differences.

A camera system includes an internal loudspeaker assembly for emitting sound waves from the interior of the camera body to the exterior of the camera body through external ports using internal electronic components. Some components of the loudspeaker assembly are sensitive to wet conditions and are protected from the environment by a membrane. The membrane and its support structures are configured to allow the sound waves to translate through the membrane and external to the camera body in both wet and dry environments. The loudspeaker assembly includes a support structure that prevents the membrane from deforming to the point of breaking or to the point of contacting the loudspeaker when submerged.
