sound clarity
Crisp acoustic quality
Sound clarity is how distinctly and crisply audio can be heard—the degree to which individual elements are distinguishable rather than muddy or muffled.
Audio engineers pursue sound clarity through equipment choices and mixing techniques.
The new speakers improved the sound clarity dramatically.
Poor acoustics, background noise, or low-quality recording all reduce sound clarity.
