AudioQuest Pearl 48

Pearl 48 features high-purity Long-Grain Copper conductors and Level 1 Noise-Dissipation for the most efficient dissipation of radio-frequency noise.

Key Technical Specifications

The Pearl 48 is built to the HDMI 2.1 standard, meaning it supports a bandwidth of 48Gbps. This allows it to handle the most demanding video formats available today.

• Video Support: Up to 10K Ultra-HD, 8K @ 60Hz, and 4K @ 120Hz.
• Gaming Features: Full support for Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), Auto Low-Latency Mode (ALLM), and Quick Frame Transport (QFT).
• HDR Compatibility: Supports all versions of High Dynamic Range, including HDR10+ and Dolby Vision.
• Audio Features: Fully compatible with eARC (enhanced Audio Return Channel) for uncompressed, lossless formats like Dolby Atmos and DTS:X.

  Core Technologies

  What sets the Pearl 48 apart from generic HDMI cables is AudioQuest's focus on "noise dissipation" and material quality:

• Solid Long-Grain Copper (LGC) Conductors: Unlike stranded cables, the Pearl 48 uses solid-core copper. This reduces "strand-interaction" distortion, which AudioQuest claims leads to a cleaner, more focused sound and picture.
• Level 1 Noise Dissipation: All 19 conductors in the cable are direction-controlled. By controlling the direction of the metal’s grain, the cable is designed to drain radio-frequency (RF) noise away from sensitive circuits, reducing the "haze" often caused by Wi-Fi and cellular signals.
• eARC Priority: The audio return conductors are given the same high-quality copper and noise-shielding treatment as the main video pairs, ensuring that audio sent from your TV to your soundbar or receiver remains pristine.
