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
