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. Carbon 48 uses 5% Silver-Plated Copper for its conductors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eLevel 3 Noise Dissipation: Carbon + Metal + Directionality\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eTraditional \"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. Level 3 Noise Dissipation adds a high-loss carbon layer sandwiched between layers of metal around the 4 FRL + eARC pairs to further enhance noise-dissipation. Additional Noise-Dissipation techniques (Levels 4 and up) are applied as budget permits to further reduce noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eeARC: 5% Silver + Level-3 Noise Dissipation\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eBecause sound matters, the eARC conductors in AudioQuest's 48-Series HDMI cables receive equal love and affection, featuring the same superior metals, Direction-Controlled Conductors, and Noise-Dissipation technologies as the main AV data pairs. In AudioQuest eARC-Priority cables, the main A\/V data pairs have Cinnamon-level performance (Forest 48’s solid 0.5% Silver + Carbon \u0026amp; Vodka 48’s Level-3 Noise-Dissipation), while the eARC data pair and Ground-Reference drain use all the same advanced design ingredients as their \"48\" counterparts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eHDMI’s Audio Return Channel (ARC) sends audio from a TV to a soundbar or AV receiver for greater simplicity and flexibility in system setup.
