Audioquest Pearl 48Gbps 8K-10K HDMI Cable

Pearl 48 HDMI Cable

Sound first

While 8K and other compelling video/gaming features make the HDMI headlines, AudioQuest’s 48 and eARC-Priority Series HDMI cables are our best-sounding HDMI cables yet. The precision and tighter manufacturing tolerances required to deliver HDMI cables that transfer up to 48Gbps bandwidth allow all of AudioQuest’s tried-and-true ingredients and techniques to matter every bit as much as before. And, of course, judiciously applied and newly learned techniques and materials are introduced.

Features:

• Better Audio from 2K- and 4K- Based Systems, Plus 100% Capable of Optimizing 8K Systems

• 8K-TV Ready

• Industry’s Only eARC-Priority HDMI Cables Maximize Audio Return Channel Performance for Soundbars & Other ARC Components

AudioQuest “48” HDMI cables can transfer up to professional 10K Ultra-HD video. The 48Gbps bandwidth is made possible by 4 balanced audio/video pairs capable of 12Gbps each. The precision and tighter manufacturing tolerances required to produce HDMI cables that transfer up to 48Gbps bandwidth mean many of AudioQuest’s tried & true ingredients and techniques are more important than ever before.

8K/10K

AudioQuest 48Gbps HDMI cables have the bandwidth required for video with resolutions up to 10K and resolutions/refresh rates up to 8K/60 and 4K/120. All AudioQuest HDMI cables are completely backwards compatible with existing 4K displays.

LONG-GRAIN COPPER CONDUCTORS (HDMI)

Increasingly thick layers of silver plating are applied to AudioQuest’s Long-Grain Copper (LGC) conductors as you move up the levels of HDMI cables to improve Noise-Dissipation. Placing the superior metal on the outside of the conductor produces the greatest benefit on overall performance, a superbly cost effective way to maximise a digital cable.

NOISE DISSIPATION: DIRECTION-CONTROLLED

Traditional “100% shielding” is not enough against today’s increasingly prevalent Wi-Fi, Cellular, and Satellite radiation, especially because all metal conductors act as antennae, picking up Radio-Frequency Noise.

In AudioQuest HDMI cables, all 19 conductors, including the critically important eARC and power pairs, are Direction-Controlled, dissipating noise and draining it away from the most sensitive electronics to where it will cause the least harm.

AudioQuest HDMI cables employ multiple levels (Level 1 to Level 6) of Noise-Dissipation technologies, each increase in HDMI level adds layers of superior high loss materials to combat RF Noise. AudioQuest`s most advanced and comprehensive defense against noise, Level 6 Noise Dissipation, employs AQ’s patented Dieletric-Bias System (DBS) with a Level-X RF Noise Trap that effectively “pulls” RF noise out of the cable.

eARC: LGC + Level-1 NOISE DISSIPATION

Because sound matters, eARC gets equal love and affection with the same superior metals, Direction-Controlled Conductors, and Noise-Dissipation technologies as the main AV data pairs.

HDMI’s Audio Return Channel (ARC) sends audio from a TV to a soundbar or AV receiver for greater simplicity and flexibility in system setup. Hardware’s previous ARC capabilities max out at lossy (compressed) 5.1-channel surround sound.

Today’s HDMI 2.1 hardware supports enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC), which increases the digital bandwidth dramatically to support uncompressed and lossless high resolution multichannel audio, including Dolby TrueHD and Atmos, and DTS-HD Master Audio and DTS: X.

AudioQuest’s eARC-Priority models include 4 Silver-Plated Forest 48-level audio/video data pairs, but with a far superior single data pair for the TV’s audio output. By upgrading the eARC data path only, audiophile quality is made possible at a fraction of the cost of upgrading all 5 data pairs.
