PAUL'S REFERENCE AudioQuest FireBird 48 HDMI

PAUL'S REFERENCE AudioQuest FireBird 48 HDMI

Firebird 48 HDMI incorporates AudioQuest's highest-performance, lowest-distortion Perfect-Surface Silver conductors and is Paul's pick for the I2S interface between products in Music Room II.
The AudioQuest Firebird 48 HDMI cable is Paul’s pick for PS Audio’s Reference System, known around the world as one of the highest resolving audio systems. Firebird HDMI is the perfect solution for audio applications from our I2S interface.

Perfect-Surface Technology is applied to extreme-purity silver conductors for unprecedented clarity and dynamic contrast. Also featured is AQ’s Noise-Dissipation System (NDS), incorporating alternating layers of metal and carbon-loaded synthetics to “shield the shield,” absorbing and reflecting most of the noise/RF energy that would otherwise damage the audio signal before it reaches the layer attached to ground. Firebird and PS Audio, the hand-curated best.

This product qualifies for our risk free in-home trial in the continental United States when purchased directly from PS Audio. Break-in on AQ Cables may be required for optimal performance.

  • Design

    In the AQ Firebird, Perfect-Surface Technology is applied to extreme-purity silver to provide unprecedented clarity and dynamic contrast. Solid conductors prevent strand interaction, a major source of cable distortion, while Hard-Cell Foam (HCF) Insulation ensures critical signal-pair geometry. Noise reduction is critical to a cable's performance. In the Firebird, an included RF Trap ensures that radio frequency noise will not be induced into the signal conductors from the DBS field elements.

  • Application

    Not all HDMI cables can transmit the full 18Gbps of data required to optimize today’s HDMI 2.0 equipment, but AudioQuest Firebird HDMI cables are guaranteed to have the 18Gbps required for all possible HDMI data streams.

    Technology

    Perfect-Surface Technology applied to extreme-purity silver provides unprecedented clarity and dynamic contrast. Solid conductors prevent strand interaction, a major source of cable distortion. Extremely high-purity Perfect-Surface Silver minimizes distortion caused by the grain boundaries that exist within any metal conductor, nearly eliminating harshness and greatly increasing clarity compared to OFHC, OCC, 8N and other coppers.
