- Those chips should be adequate for your needs. You probably only
- need a bandwidth of 5KHz or so. You should build a 5KHz low pass filter
- on the input, and then sample at 10KHz. In fact, you could probably
- do a 4KHz low pass filter and sample at 8KHz without losing much
- information. Just remember to filter at 0.5 of your sample rate.
-
- You probably will not neet to smooth the output very much. The
- coil in the speaker will take care of most of it. You may want to
- add a capacitor across the speaker.
