Advanced HDMI Cable with 10% Silver eARC Conductors
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.
ThunderBird eARC features 10% Silver eARC conductors and Ground-Reference conductors with Level-5 Noise Dissipation.
For soundbars and other ARC input-equipped gear, this allocation of design and material resources offers superior sonic 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.
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.
"The Benefits Kept Increasing"
"The Dragon [48] is the best. For clarity and detail it is unmatched," raves owner Paul172, psaudio.com, June 2024.
"For video the benefits diminished at around Cinnamon/Carbon level but for audio kept increasing all the way through Dragon 48. This has been my experience…" reports Dragon 48 owner carbonF1, psaudio.com, June 2024.
8K/10K Video Compatible
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 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 superior sonic performance at the friendliest possible 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.
Level 5 Noise Dissipation: Graphene + Global Carbon + 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. In Level 5 Noise-Dissipation, high-loss graphene is added to the carbon layer sandwiched between layers of metal around the 4 FRL + eARC pairs, and a "global" high-loss carbon layer is placed around all conductors.
Limited Lifetime Warranty
AudioQuest HDMI cables are precisely manufactured to ensure a high level of reliability and are backed by a non-transferable, limited lifetime warranty. Proof of original purchase is required. Other restrictions apply.
