This stuff can be hard.  If it were analog I would go 250 nanowebers to forstall any chance of distortion.  
I haven’t been in this specific situation but.  I have found that you end up questioning the specs in this range. 
I would make sure you are getting true 8 bit and not 4 or 2. or just cause it says 8 bit are entitled to use it from your point of entry or does it burned onto rooms or pushed into dialogic chip banks.

You may end up using a KSU as a Preamp and monitor 

Did you know that EQ”s were invented for phone systems ?

Folks,

I am trying to format a file for a client for their music on hold.  Their conversion spec is 8bit/8khz mono .wav (u-plaw).

I have been unsuccessful in having this sound reasonable after it goes into their AVIA phone system due to the GSM compression.  I can get the converted file to sound reasonable, but once it's out of my hands and actually in the system it sounds like shit.  I realize there is a good deal of degradation due to the GSM compression, but am at a loss what to do to improve the quality.  Anyone have any experience with this and have any tips?

Thanks,

fritz
