English term

boast wide

English Tech/Engineering Music
Generally boast wide and flat frequency responses (smooth sounding mics)
Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (2): Tony M, Jim Tucker (X)

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Parsing I'm afraid you're parsing it wrongly, it is 'boast' and 'wide, flat frequency response' — the 2 things are quite separate

feature wide and flat frequency responses

"Boast" here is simply a synonym of "feature" and has nothing to do with music per se. It is a word that obviously has positive connotations, and is often used in marketing-oriented material.
Peer comment(s):

agree Oliver Walter : In other words, the responses are so good that, if the mics were people, they could boast about it.

Thank you, Oliver.
agree Jennifer Levey : Yes. The advertiser's 'they boast' = everyone else's 'they have'.
