Brand: Axiom
#18 Axiom ED120A: $1,790 eBay
Same family: the Axiom ED60P (smaller model, rated 3.3/5), the Axiom ED80P (smaller model, rated 3.4/5) and the Axiom ED150A (larger model, rated 3.8/5).
Pros: A good sounding professional 12 inch powered PA speaker with deep bass, remote control and an asymmetric horn for installs. High-quality vendor Spinorama data gives it a 5.73 ideal-subwoofer preference score and 52Hz bass extension, a solid tonal showing for a professional cabinet. CORE DSP, PRONET remote control and an asymmetric rotatable horn add useful installation flexibility. Measured bass extension of 60Hz (-3dB).
Cons: The 132dB claimed peak is competitive rather than class-leading, and the asymmetric 60°-to-100° pattern needs more deliberate aiming than a conventional symmetric horn. Availability and service coverage are less broad than the mainstream QSC, JBL, Yamaha and RCF choices.

Frequency Response
How the Axiom ED120A measures across the audible range. A flatter listening window (the sound arriving straight at you) is more neutral: peaks sound forward or harsh, dips sound recessed. The estimated in-room response adds what a typical room does, and there a gentle, even tilt down toward the treble is ideal. Both curves are shifted so their 300 Hz to 3 kHz average sits at 0 dB.
Measurement data: spinorama.org, measured by the manufacturer.
EQ for a Neutral Response
No EQ preset: the best simple EQ we can fit to these measurements improves the predicted preference score by less than 0.2. The listening window is already close to flat, and what holds the score back, such as narrow ripple in the response or uneven output off-axis, is not something EQ can fix without making it worse elsewhere.
