AudioQuest VODKA 48 HDMI Cable

Sound
first. While 8K and other compelling video/gaming features make the
HDMI headlines AudioQuest’s 48 and eARC-Priority Series HDMI cables are
our best-sounding HDMI cables yet.
The
greater precision and tighter manufacturing tolerances required to
deliver HDMI cables that transfer up to 48Gbps bandwidth mean all of
AudioQuest’s tried-and-true ingredients and techniques matter every bit
as much as ever before.
Vodka
48 features 10% Silver-Plated Copper conductors that have been
direction-controlled for the most efficient dissipation of
radio-frequency noise; a high-loss carbon layer sandwiched between
layers of metal around the 4 FRL + eARC pairs further enhances
noise-dissipation.
48G

AudioQuest
“48” HDMI cables can transfer up 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 many of AudioQuest’s tried-and-true ingredients and
techniques are more important than ever before.
8K/10K

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. All AudioQuest HDMI cables are completely backwards compatible
with existing 4K displays.
10% Silver-Plated Copper Conductors (HDMI)
In
AudioQuest HDMI cables increasingly thick layers of silver plating are
applied to AudioQuest’s Long-Grain Copper (LGC) conductors to improve
Noise-Dissipation. 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. Vodka 48 uses
10% Silver-Plated Copper for its conductors.
Level 3 Noise Dissipation: Carbon + Metal + Directionality


Traditional
“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.
eARC: 10% Silver + Level-3 Noise Dissipation
Because
sound matters the eARC conductors in AudioQuests 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 & 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.
