Which outcome results when an audio signal experiences companding?

💡 Explanation

Companding uses nonlinear encoding, applying compression before transmission and expansion at reception; this increases signal-to-noise ratio because quieter signals receive more bits, therefore perceived quantisation noise is reduced significantly rather than increased distortion at louder signal levels.
