AudioQuest

Ultra High Speed 48Gbps HDMI 2.1 Cable

Experience the best in audio and video performance with the AudioQuest ThunderBird 48 HDMI Cable, where superior sound quality meets state-of-the-art video technology.

DESCRIPTION

AudioQuest ThunderBird 48 8K-10K 48Gbps HDMI cable combines superior materials and design to produce a superior entertainment experience. Meticulously designed for enhanced sound quality and outstanding overall performance, ThunderBird 48 features 10% Silver-Plated Copper conductors and drains with AQ’s Level-5 Noise Dissipation technology: high-loss graphene is added to the carbon layer sandwiched between layers of metal around the 4 FRL + eARC pairs, and a “global” high-loss carbon layer is placed around all conductors to further enhance noise-dissipation.

All AudioQuest 48G HDMI cables can transfer up to 10K Ultra HD video, support Dynamic HDR, and have the conductors and bandwidth required for eARC’s enhanced sonic capabilities. Taking performance even further, all 19 conductors, comprising A/V and eARC signals, all Ground-Reference drains, and control and power conductors, are properly controlled for the most efficient dissipation of RF Noise.

Key Features & Technology Explained

Solid Conductors

Solid conductors prevent strand-interaction, a major source of dynamic distortion in cables.

Metal

10% Silver-Plating is applied to AudioQuest’s Long-Grain Copper (LGC) conductors to improve Noise-Dissipation.

RF Drains

10% Silver-Plating is applied to the high-quality copper base metal to improve Noise-Dissipation.

Noise Dissipation

To further reduce RF Noise, Level 5 Noise-Dissipation adds a Graphene layer to the Carbon-Mesh Network and Direction-Controlled conductors.

Noise Dissipation

This eARC conductor pair features Solid 10% Perfect-Surface Silver conductors and Level 5 Noise-Dissipation to ensure superior audio performance.

Bandwidth

Certified Ultra High Speed by HDMI Licensing, AudioQuest’s 48Gbps HDMI cables have the bandwidth required to support all HDMI-2.1 features.

Resolution

High-speed video resolutions render action sequences with lifelike clarity, brilliant colour, and excellence dynamic contrasts.
