48Gbps with DBS and priority eARC line
Optimized for reference AV systems with focus on eARC
The AudioQuest ThunderBird eARC Priority 48 is an Ultra High Speed 48Gbps HDMI cable designed to maximize eARC channel performance while maintaining full support for 8K/60Hz , 4K/120Hz , and dynamic HDR . Solid 10% Silver-Plated Copper conductors ensure high precision signal transmission, while the eARC Priority configuration prioritizes the stability and integrity of high-resolution audio return to high-end AV receivers and processors.
Advanced RF dissipation with DBS technology
The ThunderBird eARC Priority 48 integrates a Level 4 Noise-Dissipation System (Graphene + Carbon + Metal Layer) to effectively reduce RF interference across all 19 Direction-Controlled conductors. It also features DBS (Dielectric-Bias System) that keeps the dielectric polarized, improving linearity and signal stability over time, including the dedicated eARC pair.
Ideal for high-end installations
Compatible with VRR, ALLM, QFT, and QMS , it's the ideal choice for connecting latest-generation TVs to reference electronics. The CMG-certified sheath (CL3/FT4) allows for professional installations, even in-wall, ensuring robustness and reliability.
