A North American standard for converting analog data into digital form using pulse code modulation (PCM). Mu-Law uses a companding technique that provides more quantizing steps at lower amplitude (volume) than at higher amplitude. North America and Japan use mu-Law, while Europe uses A-Law. Mu-Law comes from µ-Law, which uses the Greek letter µ, pronounced "myoo." See PCM and A-Law.
