Key Features
AudioQuest Forest HDMI cables 10 metres and above feature improved reliability, and the necessity of being able to transfer HDMI 2.0 and 18Gbps. These Active HDMI cables are 2.0 4K+HDR that sound and look every bit as good as their shorter passive siblings.
Product Ref: 206220
AudioQuest have built on their fine reputation for analogue video cables with their excellent Forest high speed HDMI cable. Constructed from superior long grain copper, each conductor is coated with silver for improved conductivity.
AudioQuest Forest HDMI cables 10 metres and above feature improved reliability, and the necessity of being able to transfer HDMI 2.0 and 18Gbps. These Active HDMI cables are 2.0 4K+HDR that sound and look every bit as good as their shorter passive siblings.
Because these cables are active, neither AudioQuest nor anyone else can guarantee 100% compatibility with all hardware. You might never encounter a case of incompatibility, but please be sure to test the complete equipment/cable/equipment interface before making an installation.
Solid 0.5% silver conductors eliminate strand interaction distortion and reduce jitter. Solid silver-plated conductors are excellent for very high frequency applications, like HDMI audio and video. These signals, being such a high frequency, travel almost exclusively on the surface of the conductor. As the surface is made of high-purity silver, the performance is very close to that of a solid silver cable, but priced much closer to solid copper cable. A cost effective way of manufacturing quality HDMI cables.
All drawn metal strands or conductors have a non-symmetrical, and therefore directional, grain structure. AudioQuest controls the resulting RF impedance variation so that noise is drained away from where it will cause distortion. The correct direction is determined by listening to every batch of metal conductors used in every AudioQuest audio cable. Arrows are clearly marked on the connectors to ensure superior sound quality.
Hard-Cell Foam (HCF) Insulation ensures critical signal-pair geometry. Any solid material adjacent to a conductor is actually part of an imperfect circuit. Wire insulation and circuit board materials all absorb energy. Some of this energy is stored and then released as distortion. In addition, the stiffness of the material allows the cable's conductors to maintain a stable relationship along the cable's full length, producing a stable impedance character and further minimising distortion.
High performance, improved reliability, and the necessity of being able to transfer HDMI 2.0 and 18Gbps have all come together beautifully in the AudioQuest Forest Active HDMI cables, long HDMI 2.0 4K+HDR cables that sound and look every bit as good as their shorter passive siblings.
