This meaning is used exclusively in a musical context. Typical words nearby are 'Konzert' (concert), 'Album' (album), 'Song' (song), or 'Band' (band).

In this literal meaning, 'unplugged' always refers to electrical devices that are not connected to a power source. In German, it is less common than the musical meaning.

'elektrisch' and 'unplugged' can form an opposite pair, especially with music or devices. 'elektrisch' means that something works with electricity or is electrically amplified. In music, 'unplugged' means that acoustic instruments are played without electrical amplification. Literally, it can also mean that a device is not plugged in. The words can be confusing because 'unplugged' is not simply the normal German opposite of 'elektrisch' in every situation. For concerts, 'unplugged' sounds natural; for devices, people often say more simply 'nicht eingesteckt' (not plugged in).
Am Abend gibt der Sänger ein unplugged Konzert im kleinen Theater.
In the evening, the singer gives an unplugged concert in the small theater.
Die Band spielt heute mit elektrischen Gitarren.
