About this item:
- AudioQuest Pearl 48 HDMI cables use Direction-Controlled conductors to minimize RF noise. For optimal Noise-Dissipation and superior audio performance, use Pearl 48 HDMI cables with the plug's arrows pointing towards the TV, or Source towards A/V receiver.
- 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.
- AudioQuest Pearl 48 HDMI cables use solid conductors to defeat both electrical and magnetic strand-to-strand interaction, major sources of distortion in cables.
- “100% shielding” can’t guard against noise created by today’s Wi-Fi and cell devices. In addition to all 19 HDMI conductors being Direction-Controlled to reduce RF Noise, AudioQuest Pearl 48 HDMI cables use advanced techniques and materials to enhance overall performance.
Product description
AudioQuest HDMI 48Gbps 8K-10K Cables
Sound first. While 8K and other compelling video/gaming features make the HDMI headlines, AudioQuest’s 48 and eARC-Priority Series HDMI cables are our best-sounding HDMI cables yet. The precision and tighter manufacturing tolerances required to deliver HDMI cables that transfer up to 48Gbps bandwidth allow all of AudioQuest’s tried-and-true ingredients and techniques to matter every bit as much as before. And of course judiciously applied and newly learned techniques and materials are introduced.
AudioQuest HDMI Pearl 48
AudioQuest Pearl 48 8K-10K 48Gbps HDMI cable combines superior materials and superior design to produce a superior 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.
AudioQuest’s complete line of 48Gbps HDMI cables have received HDMI Licensing’s Ultra High Speed certification.
Ultra High Speed Certified by HDMI Licensing (HDMI.org)
The Ultra-High-Speed HDMI Cable is the first cable defined by the HDMI Forum. Ultra-High-Speed HDMI Cables comply with stringent specifications designed to ensure support for high resolution video modes such as 4Kp50/60/100/120 and 8Kp50/60 as well as new features such as eARC and VRR. Ultra-High-Speed HDMI Cables exceed the requirements of the latest international EMI standards to significantly reduce the probability of interference with wireless services such as Wi-Fi.
HDMI 2.1
HDMI Specification 2.1 is the most recent update of the HDMI specification and supports a range of higher video resolutions and refresh rates including 8K/60 and 4K/120, and resolutions up to 10K. Dynamic HDR formats are also supported, and bandwidth capability is increased up to 48Gbps. Supports HDCP 2.3.
Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) & Auto Low-Latency Mode (ALLM)
VRR - Reduces or eliminates lag, stutter, and frame tearing for more fluid and better-detailed gameplay by enabling the variation of frame rate based on the action on screen.
ALLM - Enables a game console, PC, or other device to automatically trigger “game mode” in the display, enabling the ideal latency setting for smooth, lag-free, and uninterrupted viewing and interactivity.

AudioQuest HDMI Pearl 48 Technologies
Long-Grain Copper (LGC) Solid Conductors
AudioQuest’s foundation-level metal is a 4N high-purity copper exceeding the sonic performance of 99.99% OFHC (Oxygen-Free High-Conductivity Copper).
Level-1 Noise Dissipation
The foundation of AudioQuest’s Noise-Dissipation technologies. Direction-Controlled Conductors minimize the damage caused by high-frequency noise by “directing” or draining it away from the most vulnerable circuits. In AudioQuest HDMI cables, all 19 conductors (including the critically important eARC and power) are Direction-Controlled for the most efficient and effective dissipation of high-frequency noise.
eARC Enhanced Audio Return Channel
An advancement over the previous Audio Return Channel (ARC), eARC simplifies connectivity and provides greater ease, including audio optimization and the ability to automatically discover associated audio components without manually scrolling through display settings. It supports the latest high-bit-rate audio formats up to192kHz, 24-bit, and uncompressed 5.1 and 7.1, and 32-channel uncompressed audio. It also supports DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS:X, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Atmos.
Because sound matters, eARC gets equal love and affection with the same superior metals, Direction-Controlled Conductors, and Noise-Dissipation technologies as the main AV data pairs.
48Gbps Ultra High Speed Certified by HDMI Licensing
48Gbps is made possible by 4 balanced audio/video pairs, called Fixed Rate Link (FRL), capable of 12Gbps each.
