AAC delivers music-grade audio at 128-256 kbps, while AMR (Adaptive Multi-Rate) is a narrowband speech codec standardized by 3GPP for GSM and UMTS voice calls. AMR operates at bitrates from 4.75 to 12.2 kbps, producing extremely small files optimized exclusively for human speech. Converting AAC to AMR is necessary when preparing voice recordings for cellular network infrastructure, legacy voicemail systems, or embedded devices that only decode AMR.
Telecom equipment, legacy voicemail servers, and many feature phones use AMR as their native audio format. If you have a voice recording in AAC — common when recording on an iPhone — and need to feed it to a VoIP gateway, IVR system, or legacy handset, AMR conversion is required. AMR files are also extremely small, making them practical for transmission over low-bandwidth connections.
FFmpeg decodes the AAC stream, resamples to 8 kHz mono (AMR-NB) or 16 kHz mono (AMR-WB), then encodes using libopencore-amrnb or libopencore-amrwb. AMR-NB offers 8 bitrate modes from 4.75 to 12.2 kbps. AMR-WB extends the bandwidth to 50-7000 Hz across 9 modes from 6.6 to 23.85 kbps. The output file uses the .amr extension with a simple AMR file header.
AMR is a speech codec, not a music codec. Converting music from AAC to AMR will sound severely degraded — the narrowband 300-3400 Hz frequency range clips everything above mid-range. For speech, AMR at 12.2 kbps sounds acceptable on phone calls. AMR-WB at 23.85 kbps sounds noticeably better for voice content. Never use AMR for music distribution.

AAC to AMR serves a specific niche: preparing voice content for telecom infrastructure and legacy mobile devices. Use AMR-WB when available for better speech quality, and reserve this conversion strictly for voice — music will sound unacceptable in AMR.
