Abstract

An audio processing system for use in teleconferencing systems having high and low transmission delays. The audio processing system utilizes complementary comb filters in combination with auxiliary echo suppressors, a frequency scaler, expander/gates and automatic level controlling devices to substantially improve acoustic stability margin and reduce far-end talker echo.
