Short answer: the ED120A, mainly for its deeper measured bass extension and networked control. These rank #18 and #19 out of 83 12-inch powered PA speakers, priced at $1,790 and $1,500, a $290 difference.
Both measure almost identically well, so the real gap is in bass reach and connectivity. The ED120A posts a 5.73 ideal-subwoofer preference score from high-quality vendor data with 60Hz bass extension, while the Mitus 112A posts a near-identical 5.78 score from medium-quality data but with measured extension only to about 79Hz despite a much deeper manufacturer response claim. That extension gap means the Mitus needs a subwoofer sooner for full-range music.
The ED120A adds CORE DSP and PRONET networked control; the Mitus keeps things simpler. The ED120A’s asymmetric rotatable horn and PRONET remote control over EtherCON/CANBUS add real installation flexibility, though its 60°-to-100° asymmetric pattern needs more deliberate aiming than a conventional symmetric horn, and its 132dB claimed peak is competitive rather than class-leading. The Mitus 112A instead relies on a B&C neodymium woofer, a rotatable 80° x 50° horn and a plywood cabinet, with controls limited to 8 EQ presets and a high-pass filter rather than app-based mixing or remote DSP.
What the ED120A adds:
- PRONET remote control over EtherCON/CANBUS for networked system management.
- CORE DSP processing, more sophisticated than the Mitus’s fixed EQ presets.
- Deeper measured bass extension, 60Hz versus the Mitus’s 79Hz.
What the Mitus 112A adds:
- A plywood cabinet (15mm Baltic birch) versus the ED120A’s phenolic birch plywood, similar in material but FBT’s own construction.
- A higher claimed peak SPL, 133dB versus 132dB.
Buy the ED120A for the deeper measured bass and networked PRONET control, if Axiom’s smaller dealer network isn’t a concern.
Buy the Mitus 112A if you want FBT’s more traditional preset-based control and don’t need networked DSP.

Frequency Response Compared
Both speakers’ spinorama measurements, overlaid. A flatter line is more neutral: peaks sound forward or harsh, dips sound recessed. Each curve is shifted so its average from 300 Hz to 3 kHz sits at 0 dB, so loudness differences between the two are removed and only the shape is compared.
