unamplified
Without electronic boost
Unamplified means not amplified—without electronic boosting of sound.
An unamplified guitar produces only the volume its body can generate acoustically.
The singer performed unamplified in the small venue.
The term appears in audio contexts where the distinction between natural and electronically enhanced sound matters.
