1. An electronic device comprising:
a plurality of microphones disposed at different positions in the electronic device;
a processor configured to:
collect input signals input to each of the microphones, acquire direction of arrival (DOA) information corresponding to each of the microphones from the input signals,
calculate generation directions of the input signals using the DOA information, adjust a weight of an input signal for each of the microphones, based on the generation directions of the input signals, and
generate an output signal for each of the microphones by reflecting the weight adjusted for each of the microphones; and
a speaker configured to output an output signal for each of the microphones.
