Home Theater Buying Guide

  • Supports up to 4K UltraHD (4096 x 2160 pixels) resolution: To help get the best picture from your 4K source.
  • High Dynamic Range (HDR) Pass-Through: To significantly increase the range of both color and contrast, which creates an even more vibrant and realistic picture.
  • Solid core 1.0% silver-plated conductor: To eliminate electrical and magnetic strand interaction and reduce noise. Provides much of the benefit of solid silver, reducing distortion and digital timing errors.
  • Triple Shielded Conductors/Solid Metal Connector Shell: Ensures signal integrity by protecting against EMI and RFI.
  • Directionality: Fabricating metal conductors causes a directional grain structure. By controlling the resulting small impedance variation at Radio Interference frequencies, the cable can drain noise away from where it will cause distortion.
  • Lifetime limited warranty: Lifetime repair or replacement in cases of defect.
  • Hard-cell foam (HCF) insulation: For long-lasting use.

Q: There's zero information about the Sky cable on your AudioQuest website? Also, there was a section about new HDMI cables on the website that's no longer listed?

A: That's because Ocean and Sky are exclusive to Best Buy. They use the exact same design principles as the rest of the line. If Ocean and Sky were part of the regular line up, Ocean would be in between Pearl and Forest, and Sky would be in between Forest and Cinnamon.

Q: Does it matter if the "arrows" flow towards the tv or away from tv

A: For the best sound quality, the arrows should point in the same direction as the signal flow, i.e. from your cable box (or BluRay player, Play Station, etc.) to the TV.

Q: Is this a category 2 cable? I'm not sure if that makes a difference, or really what that means/refers to, but when I look on the back of my uhd movies that is the type of cord recommended to watch them at the highest quality available.

A: The names Category 1 and 2 have not been used in many years. Officially there are four types of HDMI cable: Standard Speed (with or without Ethernet) and High Speed (with or without Ethernet). Sky is a High Speed with Ethernet HDMI cable, and is fully compatible with 4K/60, HDR and HDCP 2.2.

Q: Are these cables in-wall rated?

A: No. Any AudioQuest HDMI cable with a braided jacket will not be in-wall rated. If that's what you need, take a look at Ocean. All lengths use an in-wall rated PVC jacket.

Q: what is the better cable for Dolby vision sky or ocean? thanks

A: Sky is the better of those two models.

Q: will this work in the ARC HDMI connection and get tv app audio going back through my stereo being a directional cable with my cable box direction going into my stereo then stereo to tv? Thanks

A: I am currently using this as an arc hdmi on my Bose soundbar. No issues at all with it, in fact the Bose hdmi cable was giving me intermittent issues that were corrected by this cable.

Q: HTZ9F soundbar & XBR65X850F tv. Sky cable connects my Xbox One X to the soundbar. 1. Is the cable supplied with the soundbar adequate enough to connect to the ARC? 2. Is it overkill to to purchase such a high end cable or can I step down to cut cost?

A: When it comes to choosing cables, there's no one "right" cable - it's a case of going with the best cable you can. This is because cables cannot improve the signal they carry, they can only make improvements by introducing less distortion into the system and doing less harm to the signal. The less distortion, the better. The best cable therefore is the one that introduces the least distortion and affects the signal as little as possible. And this is true for all cables. And the further up the line you go, the better it gets. Sky will make your TV sound much better compared to the supplied HDMI cable.
