1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
- a pick-up unit which is provided as at least a pair and picks up external audio to convert the external audio into an audio signal;
a parameter setting unit which sets a processing parameter specifying at least the sensitivity of the pick-up unit according to at least an instruction from a user; and
an audio signal processing unit which applies processing including beamforming processing to the audio signal, input from the pick-up unit, based on the processing parameter.

Abstract
There is provided an information processing apparatus including microphones, a parameter setting unit, and an audio signal processing unit. At least one pair of the microphones are provided, and the microphone picks up external audio to convert the external audio into an audio signal. The parameter setting unit sets a processing parameter specifying at least the sensitivity of the microphone according to at least an instruction from a user. Based on the processing parameter, the audio signal processing unit applies processing, including beamforming processing, to the audio signal input from the microphone.
