Near (20) and far (22) echo cancellers have outputs summed by an adder (26) to provide an estimated echo signal in digital form from the transmitted outgoing digital signal. A first path includes a DAC (48) for converting the digital estimated echo to analog form and an analog subtractor (52) receiving the analog estimated echo and the incoming signal to provide an echo-free analog incoming signal. A second path includes an ADC (42) converting the analog incoming signal to digital form, and a digital subtractor (44) receives the digital estimated echo and the digital incoming signal to provide a digital signal used as a source for control of the echo cancellers.
