Brand: Axiom

#18 Axiom ED150A: $1,990 eBay

Same family: the Axiom ED60P (smaller model, rated 3.3/5), the Axiom ED80P (smaller model, rated 3.4/5) and the Axiom ED120A (smaller model, rated 4/5).

Pros: A powered 15 inch PA speaker with good sound, deep bass and an asymmetric pattern that spreads sound evenly over an audience. High-quality vendor data returns a 5.36 ideal-subwoofer preference score with 47Hz measured extension, matching the well-regarded Axiom ED120A’s asymmetric-coverage design in a 15-inch cabinet. Measured bass extension of 54.5Hz (-3dB).

Cons: Axiom has a much smaller North American dealer and service network than JBL, Yamaha or QSC, and detailed coverage/weight figures were not confirmed in local data.

Frequency Response

How the Axiom ED150A 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.

EQ for a Neutral Response

Flattens the measured listening window from the Axiom ED150A's own bass extension up to 16 kHz. Set a preamp of -3.2 dB, then add these filters to any parametric equalizer in the signal path: the speaker's app or DSP if it has parametric EQ, a miniDSP, Equalizer APO or Wavelet. Boosts are kept to 3 dB, and EQ cannot fix how evenly the speaker spreads sound off-axis, which is why some speakers gain more than others. Predicted preference score with this EQ: 3.4, up from 3.1 (5.7 with an ideal subwoofer, up from 5.4). Calculated by Speaker Ranking from the spinorama measurements above.
