AUDIOQUEST PEARL 48G HDMI CABLE
Prioritising sound quality, AudioQuest's 48 and eARC-Priority Series HDMI cables surpass expectations. While the media buzz often revolves around 8K resolution and other impressive video and gaming features, these HDMI cables are designed to deliver exceptional audio performance.
To meet the demanding requirements of transferring up to 48Gbps bandwidth with precise craftsmanship. Pearl 48 boasts high-purity Long-Grain Copper conductors meticulously engineered to control directionality. This ensures optimal dissipation of radio-frequency noise, ultimately enhancing the overall sound experience.
Key Features
48G
AudioQuest “48” HDMI cables can transfer 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 that many of AudioQuest’s tried-and-true ingredients and techniques are more critical than ever.
8K/10K
AudioQuest 48Gbps HDMI cables have the capacity required for video with resolutions up to 10K and resolutions/refresh rates up to 8K/60 and 4K/120. All AudioQuest HDMI cables are entirely backwards compatible with existing 4K displays.
LONG-GRAIN COPPER CONDUCTORS (HDMI)
In AudioQuest HDMI cables, Solid Long-Grain Copper, Silver-Plated Copper, or Perfect-Surface Silver conductors improve noise dissipation and overall performance. Pearl 48 uses Long-Grain Copper for its conductors.
LEVEL 1 NOISE DISSIPATION: DIRECTION-CONTROLLED
This is the foundation of AudioQuest’s Noise-Dissipation technologies. Traditional “100% shielding” is not enough to guard against the increasingly prevalent effects of Wi-Fi, cellular, and satellite radiation. All 19 conductors are Direction-Controlled in AudioQuest HDMI cables to minimise the RF Noise that damages performance by “directing” or draining it away from the most vulnerable circuits. Additional Noise-Dissipation techniques (Levels 2 and up) are applied as budget permits to reduce noise further.
eARC: LGC + Level-1 Noise Dissipation
Because 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 leading 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 & 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.
