Speech compression IS IS IS distortion. PERIOD!


I can see why your services were no longer required as Chief
Engineer... thanks for your comments.

I can see why you're more interested in $$ than in accuracy.

If I put a CONSTANT amplitude swept frequency signal, swept from 300 to 3000 Hz,
audio bandwidth, to the input to a transmitting device and I get a VARIABLE
amplitude signal, swept from 300 to 3000 Hz, as the audio output, the device has
DISTORTED the audio.

That's just what speech compressors accomplish.

Every single speech processor is a controlled distortion device. You can market
and do salesmanship all you want. You are still selling a device that distorts
the audio.

Distortion is distortion!!
