About SPX (.SPX)
SPX files are audio files that use the Speex codec, designed specifically for compressing voice data. These files are commonly used in applications that require efficient speech compression without sacrificing clarity. Speex was developed as an open-source alternative to proprietary codecs, making it popular in VoIP and audio archiving. Its focus on human voice makes SPX distinct from general audio formats.
Technical Details
SPX files use a narrowband or wideband sampling rate, typically ranging from 8 kHz to 32 kHz, optimized for human speech frequencies. The codec employs CELP (Code Excited Linear Prediction) algorithms to encode voice signals efficiently. SPX files are usually wrapped in an Ogg container, which supports streaming and error resilience. The format is open-source, making it accessible for developers and hobbyists interested in voice data compression.
Additional Information & Use Cases
The Speex codec was introduced in 2002 by the Xiph.Org Foundation to provide high-quality, low-latency voice compression, which is ideal for internet telephony. SPX files support multiple bit rates and can adapt to varying network conditions, enhancing communication reliability. Despite newer codecs emerging, Speex remains valued for its simplicity and effectiveness in niche voice applications. It is often embedded in container formats like Ogg for easier streaming and storage.
