Abstract
A software-based equalization method corrects for effects of impedance interactions of a source device and an output device, on an aggregate frequency response, in audio playback of a system. The correction results in perceived sound remaining consistent from any source device and output device combination. The method does not require any hardware modifications and a cloud-based database of source devices and output devices provides corrections for a wide array of possible device pairings.
