highpass

Cuts low frequencies

Highpass describes a filter that allows frequencies above a certain threshold to pass through while blocking lower frequencies.

Common in audio engineering and signal processing: Apply a highpass filter to remove the rumble.

The cutoff point determines which frequencies get through.

The opposite is lowpass.
