Audioquest HDMI Pearl 48Gbps 5m

HDMI cables up to 10K

AudioQuest 48Gbps cables are fully backward compatible with existing devices and have the bandwidth required for video with resolutions up to 10K and resolutions/refresh rates up to 8K/60 and 4K/120.

HDR (High Dynamic Range)

All AudioQuest HDMI cables support HDR (High Dynamic Range) and Dynamic HDR. HDR content extends the image contrast for blacker blacks and brighter whites/highlights, as well as greater color saturation and brightness. In addition, 4K Ultra-HD content enables a wider color gamut. This combination of technologies results in more lifelike HDR images with greater perceived depth. Dynamic HDR (HDR10+ and Dolby Vision, for example) allows for frame-by-frame HDR optimization rather than HDR settings that are fixed for the entire program. The most well-known current HDR formats are HDR10, HDR10+, and Dolby Vision. AudioQuest 18Gbps and 48Gbps HDMI cables are compatible with all varieties of HDR, which can be found on Ultra-HD Blu-ray, and all major streaming services, including Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+, Apple TV+, and others.

ARC (Audio Return Channel) and eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel)

HDMI Audio Return Channel (ARC) sends sound from a TV to a soundbar or AV receiver for greater simplicity and flexibility in system setup. Previous ARC capabilities of hardware optimize lossy (compressed) 5.1-channel surround sound. Current HDMI 2.1 hardware supports Enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC), which dramatically increases digital bandwidth to support uncompressed and lossless high-resolution multichannel audio, including Dolby TrueHD and Atmos, and DTS-HD Master Audio and DTS:X. All current generations of AudioQuest HDMI cables have the conductors and bandwidth required for eARC’s enhanced audio capabilities, but, to ensure superior audio performance, the ARC channel conductor pair is internally controlled for direction, operating in the opposite direction of the 4 Finally, AudioQuest’s eARC-Priority models include 4 pairs of 48-level Silver-Plated Forest audio/video data, but with a single far-superior data pair for TV audio output. By upgrading only the ARC data path, audiophile quality is made possible at a fraction of the cost of upgrading all 5 data pairs.
