The pro's use what is called "pink noise" and an RTA to Equalize the system.
It's good to also note that it's not only the frequency responce of audio equipment that makes it good equipment, but it's also how much distortion a piece of equipment makes. Distortion is basically anything added to the "true" signal to make it "not true". This is known as clipping (sine wave becomes a square wave in an amplifier), and harmonic distortion (other frequencies are played than the single frequency that is meant to be played. For example 5khz and 20khz at the same time while only 20khz is supposed to be playing).
Don't get too frustrated over all of this though. There simply isn't a perfect speaker.
