Monster Light Speed M3000 Ultra High Speed HDMI Cable
The Light Speed M3000 Ultra High Speed HDMI Cable looks like a standard HDMI cable on the outside but on the inside it's something a little bit special. Things start to become clearer when you realise these advanced HDMI cables are available in lengths starting at 5 metres and going all the way to 30 metres, far beyond what a standard HDMI cable can reach. And, they transmit signal at the ultra-high speed of 48 Gigabits per second.
So how do they do it? Well what you can't see from the outside is that the HDMI plug contains an Optical convertor and the signal is actually transmitted optically down the length of the cable. This is why such longs runs are possible with absolutely zero dropout.
Optical is the Secret: Optical fibre delivers better colour depth, brightness, contrast and visual accuracy than copper, without any data loss.
Supports up to 8K: Supports fixed rate link (FRL) technology, which allows for uncompressed resolutions at high frame rates. Enjoy full resolution 8K @ 60Hz.
eARC: Enjoy Enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC) for simplified connectivity and support for the most advanced audio formats.
Dynamic High Dynamic Range: Supports Dynamic HDR for videos with greater detail, depth, brightness, contrast and wider colour range.
Protective Shielding: High density triple layer shielding protects up to 1GHz radio frequencies.
About Monster
Monster Cable Products, Inc., commonly known these days as Monster, was founded in 1979 by Noel Lee, an engineer and audiophile who identified a gap in the audio cable market. The company was among the first to recognize the importance of high-quality cables in delivering superior sound performance. Lee's breakthrough came with the development of a specialized audio cable that minimized signal loss and distortion, setting Monster apart from traditional cables. The company initially focused on providing high-end speaker cables, which quickly gained popularity among audiophiles, musicians, and recording studios.
Over the years, Monster expanded its product line beyond audio cables, venturing into various electronic accessories, including power strips, HDMI cables, and home theatre equipment. They became well-known for their aggressive marketing, promoting their products as essential for achieving the best sound and video quality. Their collaborations with artists and high-profile events, such as concerts and sports, further boosted the company's reputation.
Monster has become a major player in the consumer electronics industry. The company has also entered into licensing agreements with major brands like Beats by Dre, helping to launch the famous headphone line before its sale to Apple. While Monster continues to innovate and offer a wide range of accessories, it is also remembered for its role in shaping the market for premium audio and video cables.
