Microphone identi?cation addresses the challenge of identifying the microphone signature from the recorded signal. An audio recording system (consisting of microphone, A/D converter, codec, etc.) leaves its unique traces in the recorded signal. Microphone system can be modeled as a linear time invariant system. The impulse response of this system is convoluted with the audio signal which is recorded using “the” microphone. This paper makes an attempt to identify "the" microphone from the frequency response of the microphone. To estimate the frequency response of a microphone, we employ sine sweep method which is independent of speech characteristics. Sinusoidal signals of increasing frequencies are generated, and subsequently we record the audio of each frequency. Detailed evaluation of sine sweep method shows that the frequency response of each microphone is stable. A neural network based classi?er is trained to identify the microphone from recorded signal. Results show that the proposed method achieves microphone identi?cation having 100% accuracy.
