low-pass

Blocks high frequencies

Low-pass describes a filter that allows signals below a certain frequency to pass through while blocking higher frequencies.

In audio, a low-pass filter removes treble and keeps bass: I applied a low-pass filter to warm up the mix.

The term appears in electronics, signal processing, and music production.

The cutoff frequency determines where the filtering begins.
