All about the product
PEARL 48 HDMI cable with speeds up to 48 Gbps with bandwidth for up to 10K resolution videosThe new generation of HDMI 48 cables is fully compatible with the latest hardware with HDMI 2.1 connectors. These latest devices require higher bandwidth and higher data transfer rates than existing HDMI cables of version 1.4 and 2.0 allow. However, HDMI PEARL 48 is also compatible with all previous versions and is therefore suitable for older types of audio / video equipment. 4K / 8K / 10K - Compatible with 48 Gbps bandwidth for 8K/60fps and 4K/120fps video, HDR (High Dynamic Range), HDR10+, Dolby VISION LGC (Long Grain Cooper) copper conductors eARC audio return channel with Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Atmos, DTS-HD Master Audio and DTS:X support Effective noise and high-frequency interference cancellation system Grounding - tinned copper All wires are directional The AudioQuest PEARL 48 HDMI cable can transmit up to professional 10K Ultra-HD video. An impressive 48 Gbps data transfer rate is enabled by four symmetrical pairs of audio/video wires, each capable of transmitting 12 Gbps. This latest technology can not only accommodate existing 4K displays, but also seamlessly transmit 8K and even professional 10K video. The HDMI AudioQuest PEARL 48 is fully compatible with existing devices and has the necessary bandwidth for video up to 10K resolution and resolution/refresh rates up to 8K/60 and 4K/120 frames per second. The HDMI AudioQuest PEARL 48 supports HDR (High Dynamic Range) and Dynamic HDR. HDR content increases the contrast of the image with darker blacks and brighter whites, as well as greater color saturation and brightness. In addition, 4K Ultra-HD content allows for a wider color gamut. This combination of technologies results in a more realistic HDR image and greater perceived depth. Dynamic HDR (such as HDR10+ and Dolby Vision) allows for frame-by-frame optimization of HDR compared to HDR settings that are fixed for the entire program. The most prominent HDR formats currently available are HDR10, HDR10+, and Dolby Vision. The AudioQuest PEARL 48 HDMI cable is fully compatible with all types of HDR used by Ultra-HD Blu-ray and all major streaming services, including Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+, Apple TV+, and more, thanks to its 48 Gbps speed. eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel) - The HDMI Audio Return Channel (ARC) sends audio from your TV to your soundbar or AV receiver. However, the ARC Return Channel has only carried the most lossy (compressed) 5.1-channel surround sound until now. However, today's HDMI 2.1 hardware already supports the enhanced eARC Audio Return Channel, which significantly expands the digital bandwidth and supports uncompressed and lossless high-definition multi-channel audio, including Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Atmos, DTS-HD Master Audio, and DTS:X. The next generation AudioQuest HDMI PEARL 48 cables not only have the conductors and bandwidth needed for enhanced eARC audio capabilities, but to ensure superior audio performance, the audio return channel pair is internally routed – routed in the opposite direction to the 4 wire pairs that carry data to your TV. TECHNOLOGY The AudioQuest PEARL 48 8K to 10K, 48 Gbps HDMI Cable combines premium materials and superior construction to deliver a superior audio and video experience. Long Grain Copper (LGC) Solid Core Conductors: Long Grain Copper (LGC) Solid Core Conductors eliminate fiber-to-fiber interaction and jitter – common sources of interference. Long grain means a smoother conductor surface and less material grain interaction. So a smooth conductor surface means fewer problems and better performance. Noise dissipation is AudioQuest’s core technology, designed to effectively dissipate noise and reduce the unwanted effects of high-frequency interference. Traditional “100% shielding” may not be enough to protect against the increasing effects of Wi-Fi and cellular or satellite radiation. With AudioQuest HDMI cables, all 19 conductors are routed in a direction to reduce unwanted RF noise. “Routing” dissipates this noise by directing it away from the most vulnerable circuits. Directionality: All audio cables are directional. In any AudioQuest cable, the correct direction depends on the conductors. All signal wires are checked to ensure that they correspond to the correct direction of the digital audio, even the wires in the eARC audio return channel are routed in the opposite direction to ensure the best performance for the application. Arrows clearly indicate the correct direction for each cable. The AudioQuest HDMI PEARL 48 cable is available in 0.6m, 1.0m, 1.5m, 2.0m, 3.0m and 5.0m lengths. If your application requires a longer HDMI cable, AudioQuest also offers active HDMI cable versions with 18Gbps transfer rates using active equalization technology. These longer active versions guarantee 100% of the data required for all audio/video functions, including high-definition multi-channel audio, 1080p and 4K video, 3D video and Blu-ray, and will transmit 100% of the data required for 120Hz/240Hz/600Hz displays. LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY AudioQuest HDMI cables are manufactured with the utmost care and guarantee high quality and reliability. AudioQuest backs HDMI 48 cables with a non-transferable limited lifetime warranty. Proof of original purchase is required to qualify for warranty, and other restrictions apply.
