A wireless microphone having a split-band audio frequency companding system is disclosed. The companding system includes a compression circuit in which one amplification element is utilized in connection with a number of frequency bands. Each frequency band has a rectifier and filter element associated therewith. High-pass filter elements are utilized in the higher frequency bands of the compression and expander circuits to reduce the transfer of low-frequency signals to the rectifier elements that process the low-frequency signals, thereby reducing undesirable modulations of a variable resistance element associated therewith.
