Key Features & Technology Explained

Optical Fibre Conductor

Optical Fibre AV conductors eliminate multiple forms of degradation over distance.

Noise Dissipation

To further reduce RF Noise, Level 4+ Noise-Dissipation adds Galvanic Isolation and a Carbon Mesh-Network to the Direction-Controlled A/V and eARC conductors.

Noise Dissipation

This eARC conductor pair features Solid Long-Grain Copper conductors and Level 1 Noise-Dissipation to ensure superior audio performance.

Bandwidth

AudioQuest’s 18Gbps HDMI cables are guaranteed to have the 18Gbps bandwidth required for compelling features like 8K/30 video, HDR (High Dynamic Range) imagery, and eARC (enhanced Audio Return Channel).
