I wouldn't chuck your brand new $3,000 Telos Xstream just yet, but this latest news from Texas Instruments might make it possible to do so in the very near future. TI is calling it Voice Velocity, allowing voice to be transmitted in Hi Def, with frequencies approaching 48k and 64k.
The large bandwidth of DSL, Cable or T1 connections, along with an MPEG 4 AAC codec will allow CD-quality audio transmission possible across IP networks.
Although TI is touting the home and consumer benefits of HD voice across IP networks, it only takes a little imagination to see how this applies to audio production. For those of you looking forward to building a home studio ...without the expense of dedicated ISDN lines and an expensive Telos unit, the future may be a little closer.
