1.25% SILVER-PLATED CONDUCTORS (HDMI)
AudioQuest HDMI cables feature increasingly thick layers of silver plating on AudioQuest's long grain copper (LGC) conductors to improve noise isolation. Placing the premium metal on the outside of the conductor has the greatest benefit in overall performance - an extremely cost-effective way to maximize your digital cable. Cinnamon 48 uses 1.25% silver-plated copper for its conductors.
3RD STAGE NOISE DISSIPATION (HDMI): CARBON + METAL + DIRECTIONAL CONTROL
Traditional "100% shielding" is not enough to protect against the increasingly prevalent effects of Wi-Fi, cellular, and satellite radiation. In AudioQuest HDMI cables, all 19 conductors are oriented to reduce performance-damaging RF noise by "directing" or routing it away from the most vulnerable circuitry. 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 above) are used as budget permits to further reduce noise.
BANDWIDTH 48 Gbps
AudioQuest “48” HDMI cables can carry up to professional 10K Ultra-HD video. The 48 Gbps bandwidth is enabled by 4 balanced audio/video pairs capable of 12 Gbps each. The precision and tighter manufacturing tolerances required to produce HDMI cables capable of carrying up to 48 Gbps of bandwidth mean that many of AudioQuest’s proven components and techniques are more important than ever.
8K/10K
AudioQuest 48 Gbps HDMI cables have the bandwidth required for video up to 10K resolution and resolutions/refresh rates up to 8K/60 and 4K/120. All AudioQuest HDMI cables are fully backward compatible with existing 4K displays.
