- AudioQuest Carbon 13' 4K Ultra HD In-Wall HDMI Cable
A: The vast majority of the sound travels from the source to the destination, align the arrow in that manner and don't worry about the reverse. BTW, you won't hurt anything, so its ok to flip it and do a sound check. Example, if you are feeding a soundbar from the TV and using hdmi, align the arrow as sending out of the tv and into the soundbar. If you are going from a DVD to a soundbar via HDMI, align out of the dvd and into the soundbar. It's always "into" the box that is making the "noise".
A: Hello, both silver and copper are highly conductive metals, with silver being the more conductive of the two, but also the more expensive of the two. For digital connections, such as HDMI, most of the signal will travel down the outer part of the cable which is the path of least resistance. Starting with a high quality solid copper as the base metal and then using silver plating for the outer part of the conductor (the outer 5% in the case of the Carbon HDMI) allows for the most benefit.
Q: What is different with this cable then the rest, and for $239 what does it do ?
A: If by "the rest" you mean other brands of HDMI cables, Carbon HDMI represents a significant improvement due to the use of superior quality, solid silver-plated conductors and superior quality insulation. No cable can ever improve the signal it's carrying. Cables can only improve performance by doing less damage to the signal. AudioQuest cables do less damage so consequently, picture quality and sound quality are better with AQ.
A: All high speed cables are 2.0 hdmi. The only difference in cable performance is if it contains silver or uses redmere technology. This explanation is based on the testing of almost 30 different hdmi cables by me. Companies like monoprice advertising a 2.0 hdmi cable is a joke because hdmi 2.0 refers to hardware and not cables. Monster 27 Gbps cable will add nothing because hdmi hardware only goes to 18 Gbps. All high speed cables are cable of 18 Gbps.
A: There is absolutely no difference in performance between a 1.0 m. Carbon HDMI and a 5.0 m. Carbon HDMI. A longer cable is perfectly OK.
Q: Is this considered a 2.1 HDMI cable
A: NO, this is a HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 cable. The HDMI 2.1 cables do not exist in retail as of yet.
A: To me it just makes it easier to turn something on and just watch it now. The toll will come pulling and switching the cables from unit to unit and will only induce wear and tear on the connectors. Also, depending on your setup, there's a distinct danger of knocking over your blu ray item or your tv.
Q: Can I use this in HDMI(ARC) ports?
A: Yes, this is a high quality HDMI cable and it supports ARC audio return channel.
