Configure microphone inputs and Sonic Radar

Understand the source and direction of speech before changing listening behavior.

Before you begin

Compatible microphone-array firmware for spatial direction features.

How it works

Automatic device input and the glasses array are different choices. Beam forming and noise reduction apply to a supported active array; direction is unavailable on a standard microphone.

Preferred microphone

Select the microphone and inspect its current source label. The Stage chip mirrors this choice.

The app listens through the source you intend.

All steps, in writing
  1. Preferred microphone

    Select the microphone and inspect its current source label. The Stage chip mirrors this choice.

    Expected: The app listens through the source you intend.

  2. Four-microphone capture

    Open Sonic Radar and enable array capture when compatible custom firmware is connected.

    Expected: The input status shows whether the glasses array is active or idle.

  3. Beam forming

    Compare beam forming and noise reduction with a sample voice in the intended environment.

    Expected: Speech is clearer without accidentally excluding the person you need to hear.

  4. Focus on my voice

    Use Learn my voice calibration if you want microphone beam direction centered on you. Inspect direction and compass availability.

    Expected: The spatial view matches a supported sensor/input state.

If something differs

  • A standard phone microphone cannot supply the same direction data as the glasses array.
  • Selecting another microphone leaves the glasses array idle.
  • No compass means north cannot be shown; use facing direction instead.
