Abstract

A method of pre-processing audio for playback through an audio greeting card having at a speaker array of two or more speakers and an audio control circuit, by defining one or more device parameters associated with the greeting card, measuring an audio response from the greeting card when playing an original audio file, deriving correction gains to correct magnitude response characteristics of the audio response, deriving compressor threshold values to minimize level distortion of the audio response, deriving a virtualization transfer function from the one or more device parameters, and applying the correction gains, compressor threshold values, and the virtualization transfer function to generate an output audio file.
