What is a low cut used for?

It is either called the “low cut” or “high pass” filter, they mean the same thing. Once activated, the filter will remove unwanted low frequencies from the audio. For example, low frequencies can come from microphone stand vibration, hum from a furnace, rumble of distant vehicles and sometimes wind noise.

What is a good low cut frequency?

On most boards the low cut is at 75hz, 80hz or 100 hz. On some higher end consoles and studio gear, you are given a knob to control what frequency the low cut is at. Some even let you control how gradual or steep the cut is.

Are low cut and high-pass the same?

A high-pass filter is usually modeled as a linear time-invariant system. It is sometimes called a low-cut filter or bass-cut filter in the context of audio engineering. High-pass filters have many uses, such as blocking DC from circuitry sensitive to non-zero average voltages or radio frequency devices.

What is high cut in audio?

High Cut or Low Cut: High Cut attenuates the frequency range above the selected frequency. It can be used to boost or cut any frequency band in the audio spectrum, either with a wide frequency range or as a notch filter with a very narrow range.

What does low cut filter do on a recorder?

Also known as a high pass filter. Basically this is a type of filter that removes low frequencies from an audio signal. Normally they are designed so they remove frequencies below a certain determined frequency (often somewhere between 20 Hz and 150 Hz).
