Description

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. Certified Ultra High Speed by HDMI Licensing, AudioQuest’s 48Gbps HDMI cables have the bandwidth required to support all HDMI-2.1 features. Solid conductors prevent strand-interaction, a major source of dynamic distortion in cables. 0.5% Silver-Plating is applied to AudioQuest’s Long-Grain Copper (LGC) conductors to improve Noise-Dissipation. All 19 HDMI conductors are Direction-Controlled to reduce RF noise. This eARC conductor pair features Solid 0.5% Silver conductors and Level 1 Noise-Dissipation to ensure superior audio performance. High-speed video resolutions render action sequences with lifelike clarity, brilliant color, and excellent dynamic contrasts. Certified Ultra High Speed by HDMI Licensing, AudioQuest’s 48Gbps HDMI cables have the bandwidth required to support all HDMI-2.1 features. Tin plating is applied to the high-quality copper base metal to improve Noise-Dissipation. HDR content expands the contrast of the image for blacker blacks, brighter whites/highlights, greater color saturation, and natural brightness.

A Night and Day Difference
Size: 5.0ft
I am a huge fan of AudioQuest. I already had a Hi Def cable for my Sony Bravia K4 / PS4 Pro connection and I was pretty happy with it. But, After switching to the Forest 48 8K-10K it was like a Night and Day difference. The box was certified as always with this amazing company and the quality was more then I expected. Yeah, their stuff is not cheap but hey, You get what you pay for, Right?. 2 Thumbs up and 5 Stars all around. Thank You AQ!!! ... show more
