Premium Sonics: AudioQuest ThunderBird eARC HDMI Cable Specially Made for Soundbars, Features 10% Silver eARC Conductors and 10% Silver Ground-Reference Conductors
Have a soundbar? Get premium sonics with the AudioQuest ThunderBird eARC-Priority HDMI cable. Specifically engineered for soundbars and other ARC input applications, and backed by a limited lifetime warranty, it process the 48Gbps bandwidth required for 8K-10K video and all the latest video features. While its main A/V data pairs have Cinnamon 48-level performance (Forest 48's solid 0.5% silver + carbon plus Vodka 48's Level 3 Noise Dissipation), the eARC data pair and ground-reference drain in eARC-Priority cables use all the same advanced design ingredients as their 48 Series siblings. ThunderBird eARC also features 10% silver eARC conductors and ground-reference conductors with Level 5 Noise Dissipation. Hear the difference with a risk-free in-home audition backed by our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee today!
10% Silver eARC Conductors and 10% Silver Ground-Reference Conductors
In AudioQuest's eARC-Priority HDMI cables, the eARC data-pair conductors and ground-reference drain use the same advanced design ingredients as their 48-Series counterparts.
0.5% Silver-Plated Copper A/V Conductors
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.
Level 5 Noise Dissipation: Graphene + Global Carbon + Directionality
Traditional 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. In Level 5 Noise Dissipation, high-loss graphene is added to the carbon layer sandwiched between layers of metal around the four FRL + eARC pairs, and a "global" high-loss carbon layer is placed around all conductors.
Ultra-High-Speed HDMI Cable
The Ultra-High-Speed HDMI Cable is the first cable defined by the HDMI Forum. Ultra-High-Speed HDMI Cables comply with stringent specifications designed to ensure support for high-resolution video modes such as 4Kp50/60/100/120 and 8Kp50/60 as well as new features such as eARC and VRR. Ultra-High-Speed HDMI Cables exceed the requirements of the latest international EMI standards to significantly reduce the probability of interference with wireless services such as Wi-Fi.
HDMI 2.1
HDMI 2.1 is the most recent update of the HDMI specification and supports a range of higher video resolutions and refresh rates including 8K/60 and 4K/120, and resolutions up to 10K. Dynamic HDR formats are also supported, and bandwidth capability is increased up to 48Gbps. Supports HDCP 2.3.
