8K-10K
AudioQuest FireBird 48 HDMI cables can transfer up to professional 10K Ultra HD video. The incredible 48Gbps data rate is made possible by four balanced audio/video pairs each capable of 12Gbps, enabling a surprisingly stronger audio/video experience.
4K Performance
In addition to enabling the 48Gbps data rate, the improved materials and design of AudioQuest FireBird 48 HDMI cables significantly benefit the overall performance of your 4K system. All AudioQuest HDMI cables are completely backwards compatible with existing 4K devices.
Gaming
Supports enhanced gaming features (4K120, VRR, ALLM, QFT) for optimal performance from Sony Playstation 5 (PS5), Microsoft Xbox Series X, Gaming PCs, etc.
100% Perfect-Surface Silver Conductors
AudioQuest FireBird 48 HDMI cables use AQ’s best conductor metal—100% Solid Perfect-Surface Silver (PSS)—to defeat both electrical and magnetic strand-to-strand interaction.
Noise-Dissipation (Level 6)
For even greater RF-noise reduction, AudioQuest’s Dielectric-Bias System is added to a high-loss layer of carbon that surrounds the direction-controlled conductors; high-loss graphene is added to the carbon layer sandwiched between layers of metal around the 4 FRL + eARC pairs.
eARC
The Audio Return Channel sends audio from the TV to soundbar, receiver, or ARC input. “enhanced” eARC is easier to use and enables lossless multi-channel. In AudioQuest FireBird 48 HDMI cables, the eARC conductor pair is internally controlled for direction to ensure superior audio performance.
Direction-Controlled Conductors
AudioQuest FireBird 48 HDMI cables use Direction-Controlled conductors to minimize RF noise. For optimal Noise-Dissipation and superior audio performance, use FireBird 48 HDMI cables with the plug's arrows pointing towards the TV, or Source towards A/V receiver.
