One URL per command, no driver required
Air Amp answers plain HTTP GET on port 8000 — or 8443 over TLS. No cloud, no bridge, no vendor SDK. Any control system that can fire a URL can drive the speaker, which means a generic HTTP or TCP module rather than a certified driver.

Pick a target sound, and the Air Amp plays pink noise while you walk your listening area for thirty seconds with the phone in your hand. The microphone records the whole walk, X-Sense Spatial maps the room’s dimensions and predicts where bass will pile up, and the app suggests a corrective EQ — reviewed band by band, applied in one tap, off whenever you like.
