In this contribution, a dual-channel input-output speech enhancement system is introduced. The proposed algorithm is an adaptation of the well-known superdirective beamformer including postfiltering to the binaural application. In contrast to conventional beamformer processing, the proposed system outputs enhanced stereo signals while preserving the important interaural amplitude and phase differences of the original signal. Instrumental performance evaluations in a real environment with multiple speech sources indicate that the proposed computational efficient spectral weighting system can achieve significant attenuation of speech interferers while maintaining a high speech quality of the target signal.
