Digital Audio Compression

Compared to most digital data types, with the exception of digital video, the data rates associated with uncompressed digital audio are substantial. Digital audio compression enables more efficient storage and transmission of audio data. The many forms of audio compression techniques offer a range of encoder and decoder complexity, compressed audio quality, and differing amounts of data compression. The -law transformation and ADPCM coder are simple approaches with low-complexity, low-compression, and medium audio quality algorithms. The MPEG/audio standard is a highcomplexity, high-compression, and high audio quality algorithm. These techniques apply to general audio signals and are not specifically tuned for speech signals.
