Blueberry 18 HDMI Cable
The AudioQuest Blueberry HDMI cable embodies all of the company's core philosophies on HDMI cable design. It employs solid Long-Grain Copper conductors, 18Gbps bandwidth, resolutions up to 8K, Level 1 Noise Dissipation and supports enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC).
These HDMI cables represent a big, feature-packed leap forward for your home theatre system. Their 18Gbps bandwidth, combined with AudioQuest's premium manufacturing techniques and materials, means that they can deliver the very best audio and video quality possible.
Sound First: While 8K and other compelling video/gaming features make the HDMI headlines, AudioQuest's 18 and eARC-Priority Series HDMI cables are AudioQuest's best-sounding HDMI cables yet. The greater precision and tighter manufacturing tolerances required to deliver HDMI cables that transfer up to 18Gbps bandwidth mean all of AudioQuest's tried-and-true ingredients and techniques matter every bit as much as ever before. Blueberry 18 features high-purity Long-Grain Copper conductors that have been direction-controlled for the most efficient dissipation of radio-frequency noise.
4K/8K: AudioQuest 18Gbps High Speed HDMI cables have the bandwidth required for video up to 8K/30 (8-bit, 4:2:0), which is 7680 x 4320 resolution (over 33 million pixels) at up to 30 frames-per-second (fps). 24 and 30 fps are the frame rates for almost all movies and many TV shows.
Long-Grain Copper Conductors: In AudioQuest HDMI cables, Solid Long-Grain Copper, Silver-Plated Copper, or Perfect-Surface Silver conductors improve Noise-Dissipation and overall performance. Blueberry 18 uses Long-Grain Copper for its conductors.
Level 1 Noise Dissipation - Direction-Controlled: This is the foundation of AudioQuest's Noise-Dissipation technologies. Traditional "100% shielding" is not enough to guard against the increasingly prevalent effects of Wi-Fi, cellular, and satellite radiation. In AudioQuest HDMI cables, all 19 conductors are Direction-Controlled to minimise the RF Noise that damages performance by "directing" or draining it away from the most vulnerable circuits.
eARC: Because sound matters, the eARC conductors in AudioQuest's 18-Series HDMI cables receive equal love and affection, featuring the same superior metals, Long-Grain Copper for Blueberry 18, Direction-Controlled Conductors, and Noise-Dissipation technologies as the main AV data pairs.
Previous ARC capabilities maxed out at lossy (compressed) 5.1-channel surround sound. Today's HDMI 2.1 cables support enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC), which increases the digital bandwidth dramatically to support uncompressed and lossless high-resolution multichannel audio, including Dolby TrueHD and Atmos, and DTS-HD Master Audio and DTS: X.
