Microphone arrays mounted on headsets provide a platform for performing transparent hearing, source localization, focused listening, and enhanced communications while passively protecting the hearing of the wearer. However it is not trivial to determine the microphone positions that optimize these capabilities, as no analytical solution exists to model acoustical diffraction around both the human and headset. As an alternative to an iterative experimental approach for optimization, an equivalent source model of the human torso, head, and headset is developed. Results show that the model closely matches the microphone responses measured from a headset placed on a Kemar mannequin in an anechoic environment.
