"real" IP audio codecs are not cheap (for some definition of cheap of course) - these are usually stereo (at least) and 15 or 22 KHz audio channel. They also tend to eat bandwidth, so you should check how much you are willing to use. as an example, you are going to need 400 Kbps+ to get 16 bit sampled stereo using enhanced APTX compression (which is what a lot of radio broadcasters seem to use) [url]www.broadcom.co.uk[/url] is 1 source we have used. if codecs are a bit steep then esp if you have a typical corporate network, some cisco router models can take analog speech interfaces - set them up to do point to point permanent G.711 and you get 3.5 Hkz / 8 bit sampled sound this could still run out several £100 when you add voice grade feature upgra des for the routers, voice interfaces and DSPs - but 2nd and more channels will be cheaper.....[color=blue] > > I suppose I really need some form of single line mux. > > > -- > Woody > > harrogate3 at ntlworld dot com[/color] -- Regards [email]stephen_hope@xyzworld.com[/email] - replace xyz with ntl |

I should have said at the start that I only need a single audio (i.e. mono) pathe with a 300-3000Hz audio response, the flatter the batter. Looks like the last option will fit the job perfectly.
