1. A method comprising:
receiving by a processor audio data from a plurality of microphones disposed in a corresponding plurality of network devices, wherein the audio data originates from a source;
identifying amplitude values of the audio data at each network device of the corresponding plurality of network devices by the processor, wherein an amplitude value at each network device is different; and
modifying the amplitude values of the audio data by the processor to generate modified audio data for output by a corresponding loudspeaker disposed in each network device of the corresponding plurality of network devices,
wherein the amplitude values of the modified audio data increase with a distance of the corresponding loudspeaker from the source.
