Disclosed is a method and system adapted to receive an input signal from a far end transmission, to take in a near end return signal, and to inject into the return signal, prior to sending the return to the far end, a corrective signal whereby, for example, echoes in the return signal may be reduced or cancelled. A first exemplary embodiment includes one or more adaptive infinite impulse response (IIR) filters and one or more adaptive finite-impulse response filters (FIR) filters running in parallel each having an output that may be selected as the corrective signal based on filter performance determinations. A second exemplary embodiment includes an adaptive FIR filter outputting the corrective signal where the adaptive FIR filter has selected for it, based on filter performance determinations, an output of one or more adaptive IIR filters or a conditioned return signal selected as a reference.
