About WAV and AMR Formats

What is WAV?

WAV was introduced by Microsoft and IBM in 1991 and stores audio as uncompressed PCM samples. CD-quality stereo WAV (16-bit, 44.1 kHz) uses about 10 MB per minute, and every audio editor, DAW and media player can open it.

  • Recording, editing and mixing in any DAW
  • Mastering and archiving at full quality
  • Broadcast, sampling and sound-design work
  • Maximum compatibility with hardware and software

What is AMR?

AMR is a speech codec standardised by 3GPP in 1999 for mobile phone calls. Narrowband AMR samples at 8 kHz and uses 4.75-12.2 kbps, so files are tiny but limited to telephone-quality voice.

Commonly used for:

  • Phone call recordings
  • Voice notes on older and Android phones
  • Voicemail systems

Why convert WAV to AMR?

AMR produces extremely small voice files, useful for telephony systems and devices that require it.

Frequently Asked Questions
