ESP32-S3 based mic arrays: https://www.aliexpress.com/store/1100220184/pages/all-items.html (the one I have is the Korvo-1 but cheaper alternatives exist). You could just meld an esp32 board with a mic module eg https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004396761379.html or ( https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005449219195.html + https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000320765322.html )

@Unixbigot Korvo looks good. Is there a speaker you'd recommend? Can the speaker go in the same box without crapping on the microphone?

@vik I've been using a little portable bluetooth speaker (via its line-in mode), because I had a bunch of them lying about, but the particular model appears to be no longer on sale. "portable speaker" is the keyword to search, but beware that line-in seems to be less commonly supported in the current crop. On the the "same box" question -- can't say because I've been using a discrete speaker placed ~30cm from the mics.

@Unixbigot Ah, The Light of My Life has one of those. Might surprise her :)
