An audio encoder/decoder performs band partitioning for vector quantization encoding of spectral holes and missing high frequencies that result from quantization when encoding at low bit rates. The encoder/decoder determines a band structure for spectral holes based on two threshold parameters: a minimum hole size threshold and a maximum band size threshold. Spectral holes wider than the minimum hole size threshold are partitioned evenly into bands not exceeding the maximum band size threshold in size. Such hole filling bands are configured up to a preset number of hole filling bands. The bands for missing high frequencies are then configured by dividing the high frequency region into bands having binary-increasing, linearly-increasing or arbitrarily-configured band sizes up to a maximum overall number of bands.
