receiving, from a media processor device, first audio content associated with first media content and second audio content associated with second media content;

determining, based upon a first title of the first media content, a first subject matter of the first media content;

determining, based upon a second title of the second media content, a second subject matter of the second media content;

receiving, from the media processor device, at least one parameter for a first beamforming of the first audio content, the at least one parameter being selected based upon a comparison of the first subject matter of the first media content and the second subject matter of the second media content in order to facilitate adjusting relative volumes of the first audio content and the second audio content during a time period; and

presenting the first audio content via the first beamforming and via a first audio device according to the at least one parameter, the presenting of the first audio content generating a first beam pattern directed to a first location during the time period, and presenting the second audio content via a second beamforming that generates a second beam pattern that is directed to a second location during the time period,

wherein the at least one parameter comprises an identification of a direction that the first audio device is facing, a power of the first audio device, an identification of an obstacle between the first audio device and a first user, a distance between the first audio device and the first user, an acoustic characteristic of a room where the first audio device is located, or any combination thereof.

12. The non-transitory, machine-readable storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the at least one parameter for the first beamforming is further selected according to a first user preference associated with the first user, and wherein the first user is associated with the first media content.

13. The non-transitory, machine-readable storage medium of claim 12 , wherein the first user preference is included in a first user profile of the first user.

14. The non-transitory, machine-readable storage medium of claim 12 , wherein the media processor device determines that the first user is positioned at the first location.

15. The non-transitory, machine-readable storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the at least one parameter for the first beamforming of the first audio content further comprises a setting for frequency associated with the first audio content.

16. The non-transitory, machine-readable storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the first subject matter of the first media content and the second subject matter of the second media content are further determined based upon an analysis of metadata.
