AudioQuest Pearl 48 8K-10K 48Gbps HDMI cable combines superior materials and thoughtful design to create a deeply immersive entertainment experience. Featuring solid Long-Grain Copper conductors with AudioQuest’s Level-1 Noise-Dissipation, Pearl 48 is meticulously designed for enhanced sound quality and outstanding overall performance. Of course, all AudioQuest 48Gbps HDMI cables can transfer up to professional 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 Radio-Frequency Noise.
- 8K-10K: AudioQuest Pearl 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.
- 48Gbps Entertainment Experience: Certified Ultra High Speed by HDMI Licensing, Pearl 48’s 48Gbps bandwidth enables 4K/120 and 8K/60 resolutions and frame rates and all other HDMI-2.1 capabilities.
