IMPORTANT TIPS!
1) Zephyr Xstream only supports the 24kHz sample rate in MPEG Layer-2. Therefore, the
Sample Rate menu does not have this option. The “L2 Half 64” Transmit and Receive
modes are used to achieve 24kHz operation in MPEG Layer-2.
2) The G.722 standard calls for a Sample Rate of 16kHz. This rate is used for G.722
regardless of the Sample Rate setting.

COMPATIBILITY TIP!
Not all codecs support all sample rates. 32kHz is most commonly supported in MPEG Layer-
3 whereas 48kHz is more commonly used in Layer-2.
24kHz is sometimes seen in Layer-2. In this case set your Transmit or Receive to “L2
Half/24” and this Sample Rate will be used (regardless of the Sample Rate setting).
16kHz is used with G.722 and is automatically employed whenever G.722 is used.
Z ZEPHYR CLASSIC VS XSTREAM COMPARISON!
Note: Not all Zephyrs support MPEG Layer-2. Very early units support MPEG Layer-3 and
G.722 only.
The Zephyr and Zephyr Express do not support MPEG Layer-2 at the 32kHz Sample Rate.
When communicating with a Zephyr or Zephyr Express in Layer-2, the 48 kHz sample rate
should be used.
