Description
AudioQuest Vodka eARC HDMI Cable — Elevated Clarity for Advanced Home Cinema Systems. Designed for listeners and viewers who want a noticeable step up in performance from conventional HDMI cables, without moving into ultra‑statement territory.
Built to support the full 48Gbps bandwidth of HDMI 2.1, Vodka handles today’s most demanding formats—including 8K/60, 4K/120, and advanced HDR—while delivering exceptionally clean, stable signal transfer.
At the heart of the Vodka cable are Direction‑Controlled Solid Perfect‑Surface Copper+ (PSC+) conductors. By using solid conductors instead of stranded wire, AudioQuest eliminates strand interaction and reduces distortion. The ultra‑smooth PSC+ surface further minimizes timing errors (jitter), resulting in sharper images, improved depth, and more natural, intelligible sound.
Vodka is also purpose‑engineered for modern audio return channels. Its dedicated eARC conductor pair ensures reliable, full‑bandwidth transmission of high‑resolution audio formats such as Dolby Atmos and DTS:X from your TV back to your processor or AV receiver—without compression or loss of detail.
For systems that use a TV’s eARC/ARC output as the audio source, AudioQuest’s eARC-Priority models offer world-class performance at the friendliest possible prices.
AudioQuest eARC-Priority cables are full-on 48-Series HDMI cables with the 48Gbps bandwidth required for 8K-10K video and all the latest video features. While the main A/V data pairs have Cinnamon-level performance (Forest 48’s solid 0.5% Silver + Carbon & Vodka 48’s Level-3 Noise-Dissipation), the eARC data pair and Ground-Reference drain in eARC-Priority cables use all the same advanced design ingredients as their “48” siblings.
Vodka eARC features 10% Silver eARC conductors and 5% Silver Ground-Reference conductors with Level-3 Noise Dissipation.
For soundbars and other ARC input-equipped gear, this allocation of design and material resources offers a superb combination of performance and value.
