HIGH DYNAMIC RANGE MICROPHONE SYSTEM

The invention is directed to systems methods and computer program products associated with a microphone system for receiving a sound and producing an output signal representing the sound. The micro¬ phone system has a first and a second microphone having a first and a second dynamic range respectively the microphones to receive the sound and produce a first and a second sound signals respectively based on the received sound wherein the first dynamic range and the second dynamic range overlap thereby forming a transition dynamic range and processing logic operatively coupled to the first microphone and the second microphone. The processing logic is configured to receive the first and the second sound signals from the first and the second microphones respectively and generate the output signal by combining the first and the second sound signals.
