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-and-true ingredients and techniques are more important than ever before.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e8K\/10K:\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.

Placing the superior metal on the outside of the conductor produces the greatest benefit on overall performance—a superbly cost-effective way to maximize a digital cable. Carbon 48 uses 5% Silver-Plated Copper for its conductors.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLEVEL 3 NOISE DISSIPATION: METAL LAYER + DIRECTIONALITY:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTraditional “100% shielding” is not enough to guard against the increasingly prevalent effects of Wi-Fi, cellular, and satellite radiation. In AudioQuest HDMI cables, all 19 conductors are Direction-Controlled to minimize the RF Noise that damages performance by “directing” or draining it away from the most vulnerable circuits. Level 3 Noise Dissipation adds a high-loss carbon layer sandwiched between layers of metal around the 4 FRL + eARC pairs to further enhance noise-dissipation. Additional Noise-Dissipation techniques (Levels 4 and up) are applied as budget permits to further reduce noise.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eeARC: 5% Silver + Level-3 Noise Dissipation:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBecause sound matters, the eARC conductors in AudioQuest's 48-Series HDMI cables receive equal love and affection, featuring the same superior metals, Direction-Controlled Conductors, and Noise-Dissipation technologies as the main AV data pairs. In AudioQuest eARC-Priority cables, the main A\/V data pairs have Cinnamon-level performance (Forest 48’s solid 0.5% Silver + Carbon \u0026amp; Vodka 48’s Level-3 Noise-Dissipation), while the eARC data pair and Ground-Reference drain use all the same advanced design ingredients as their “48” counterparts. 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"AudioQuest","offers":[{"title":"1.5M","offer_id":53228841369907,"sku":"HDM48CAR150","price":351.96,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1815\/4923\/products\/cavo-audioquest-hdmi-carbon-48.jpg?v=1643059831","url":"https:\/\/www.ayreborn.com\/products\/audioquest-carbon-48-hdmi-cable-open-box","provider":"Ayreborn Audio\/Video","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
