AudioQuest ThunderBird 48 8K-10K 48Gbps HDMI cable combines superior materials and thoughtful design to produce a deeply immersive entertainment experience. Meticulously designed for enhanced sound quality and outstanding overall performance, ThunderBird 48 features 10% Silver-Plated Copper conductors and drains with AQ’s Level-5 Noise Dissipation technology: 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 to further enhance noise-dissipation. All AudioQuest 48G HDMI cables can transfer up to 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 RF Noise.
- 8K-10K: AudioQuest ThunderBird 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 ThunderBird 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.
- 10% Silver Conductors and Drains: AudioQuest ThunderBird 48 HDMI cables use 10% Silver conductors to defeat both electrical and magnetic strand-to-strand interaction. ThunderBird 48’s 10% Silver drains further improve noise dissipation.
- Noise-Dissipation (Level 5): In AudioQuest ThunderBird 48 HDMI cables, a high-loss layer of carbon surrounds all the direction-controlled conductors; high-loss graphene is added to the carbon layer sandwiched between layers of metal around the 4 FRL + eARC pairs to further enhance noise-dissipation.
- Supports 10K Ultra HD Video: Experience professional-grade 10K Ultra HD video with 48Gbps data transfer for superior audio and video quality.
- Silver-Plated Long-Grain Copper Conductors: Increasingly thick layers of silver on Long-Grain Copper (LGC) conductors enhance noise dissipation, delivering clearer, more refined audio and video performance.
- Advanced Noise-Dissipation System: High-loss carbon and graphene layers surround the direction-controlled conductors, reducing noise and providing a cleaner, more stable signal.
- Direction-Controlled Conductors: Minimize RF noise for optimal audio quality; ensure arrows on the plug point towards the TV or A/V receiver for best results.
