audio term that's parallel to "vivid" for video
I've been searching for a low-tech but accurate word for clean and clear audio. Comprehensible and intelligible seem to be the most common choices. But they are related to cognition more so than fidelity to me. After a few days and being disappointed with what I have come up with, I am soliciting suggestions. When describing video, "vivid" is a great word - it's simple and well-known. There should be a perfectly parallel word for audio, but it's eluding me. Thanks in advance for your verbal contributions!

"Vivid" brings to my mind the factory picture setting on most consumer TVs: everything cranked. Sure way to guarantee buying a replacement TV every few years affer it burns out. Also known as 'Dynamic'. |

I'm working with clients who have no familiarity with our jargon. I said "dynamics" once and they asked me what I was talking about. So yeah, we're trying to communicate regarding the quality of the audio WITHOUT using terms like "dynamics", "frequency range", "noise floor", etc. Figured somebody on here would have been in the same situation before. Maybe there is no great word for it specific to audio.

This would seem to be the visual equivalent of the "hi-fi" sound, with the bass and treble pumped up and all the instruments in your face. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra.
