This paper addresses the issue of separating multiple speakers from mixtures of these that are obtained using multiple microphones in a room. An adaptive blind signal separation algorithm, which is entirely based on second-order statistics, is derived. One of the advantages of this algorithm is that no parameters need to be tuned. Moreover, an extension of the algorithm that can simultaneously deal with blind signal separation and echo cancellation is derived. Experiments with real recordings have been carried out, showing the effectiveness of the algorithm for real-world signals.
