This paper describes a wideband speech/audio codec at 16/24 kbit/s with 10 ms frames. The algorithm uses an ACELP model at 16 kbit/s and a switched ACELP/TCX model at 24 kbit/s. Adaptive preemphasis is used to improve the performance at high frequencies and a hybrid forward/backward LP filter is used to improve the performance of stationary signals. Subjective tests showed that for speech signals, the codec performance at 16 and 24 kbit is equivalent to G.722 at 48 and 56 kbit/s, respectively. For music signals, the performance of the codec at 24 kbit/s was equivalent to that of G.722 at 48 kbit/s.
