Audioquest THUNDERBIRD eARC 48Gbps HDMI 2.1 Cable

For systems that use a TV’s eARC/ARC output as the audio source, AudioQuest’s eARC-Priority models offer world-class performance at the friendliest possible prices.

AudioQuest eARC-Priority cables are full-on 48-Series HDMI cables with the 48Gbps bandwidth required for 8K-10K video and all the latest video features. While 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), the eARC data pair and Ground-Reference drain in eARC-Priority cables use all the same advanced design ingredients as their “48” siblings.

• Performance and Value: For systems that use a TV’s eARC/ARC output as the audio source, AudioQuest’s eARC-Priority models offer world-class performance at the friendliest possible prices.
• 48Gbps Bandwidth: 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.
• Stunning Visuals and Sound: Elevate your home theater experience with improved clarity and detail. ThunderBird’s state-of-the-art video transmission ensures vivid images and Level-5 Noise-Dissipation delivers cleaner, clearer, and more naturally dynamic sound.
• Gaming Unleashed: Experience exceptional gaming with support for the latest HDMI features such as 8K/60 and 4K/120. The eARC Priority design reduces latency and boosts performance, making it ideal for competitive gamers.
• 10% Silver eARC Conductors / 10% Silver Ground-Reference: 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, enabling world-class sonic performance at more affordable prices.
• 0.5% Silver-Plated Copper A/V 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.
