Hi, Have you looked at any of Angelo Farina's recent work, which essentially involves beamforming from an Eigenmike but without going through the intervening step of spherical harmonics, which has some advantages if you are looking at separating sound sources. A lot of Angelo's work in the last few years has been with this in mind recently. Particularly for what amount to very high performance "gun mike" replacements, his team has been working with RAI, the Italian broadcaster. http://pcfarina.eng.unipr.it/Public/Papers/252-AES-40.pdf - note that they've a patent application in http://www.faqs.org/patents/app/20120188434
