That's not true. The audio waveform is a sine wave. In the VoiceMax,
the processed waveform is still made up of sine waves... but the
levels are different from the oroginal signal. The low levels are
higher... and the very high levels are lower. A good speech processor
essentially flattens the output at a desired level... without
excessive harmonic distortion.
