A second-order adaptive differential microphone array (ADMA) has two first-order elements (e.g., 802 and 804 of <cross-reference target="DRAWINGS">FIG. 8</cross-reference>), each configured to convert a received audio signal into an electrical signal. The ADMA also has (i) two delay nodes (e.g., 806 and 808) configured to delay the electrical signals from the first-order elements and (ii) two subtraction nodes (e.g., 810 and 812) configured to generate forward-facing and backward-facing cardioid signals based on differences between the electrical signals and the delayed electrical signals. The ADMA also has (i) an amplifier (e.g., 814) configured to amplify the backward-facing cardioid signal by a gain parameter; (ii) a third subtraction node (e.g., 816) configured to generate a difference signal based on a difference between the forward-facing cardioid signal and the amplified backward-facing cardioid signal; and (iii) a lowpass filter (e.g., 818) configured to filter the difference signal from the third subtraction node to generate the output signal for the second-order ADMA. The gain parameter for the amplifier can be adaptively adjusted to move a null in the back half plane of the ADMA to track a moving noise source. In a subband implementation, a different gain parameter can be adaptively adjusted to move a different null in the back half plane to track a different moving noise source for each different frequency subband.
