high-pass

Blocks low frequencies

High-pass describes a filter that allows frequencies above a certain threshold to pass through while attenuating lower frequencies.

In audio engineering, a high-pass filter removes rumble and bass: I put a high-pass on the vocal track to clean up the mud.

The term appears in electronics, signal processing, and photography, where it sharpens images by preserving fine detail.
