AudioQuest Forest HDMI 4K Cable 2m - Ex Demo
Forest HDMI embodies all of AudioQuest’s core philosophies on cable design. Forest employs solid Long-Grain Copper conductors, Solid High-Density Polyethylene Insulation, and precise signal geometry. Specific attention has been paid to maximizing the performance of HDMI, and indeed, AudioQuest’s HDMI cables push sonic performance to new levels.
All AudioQuest HDMI cables up to 8 meters meet or exceed the 18 Gbps maximum data rate for HDMI and are approved High Speed with Ethernet cables. This means that all AudioQuest cables up to 8 meters are capable of transmitting 100% of the data required for all of HDMI’s current audio/video features including multichannel high-resolution audio, 1080p and 4K video, and 3D video from Blu-ray. All AQ HDMI cables will deliver 100% of the data required for 120Hz/240Hz/600Hz displays.
Features :
- Solid 0.5% Silver Conductors
- Foamed-Polyethylene Insulation
- Directionality
- HDMI High-Speed with 4K UHD Support
Solid 0.5% Silver Conductors
Solid conductors eliminate strand-interaction distortion and reduce jitter. Solid silver-plated conductors are excellent for very high-frequency applications, like HDMI audio and video. These signals, being such a high frequency, travel almost exclusively on the surface of the conductor. As the surface is made of high-purity silver, the performance is very close to that of a solid silver cable, but priced much closer to solid copper cable. This is an incredibly cost effective way of manufacturing very high-quality HDMI cables.
Foamed-Polyethylene Insulation
Any solid material adjacent to a conductor is actually part of an imperfect circuit. Wire insulation and circuit board materials all absorb energy (loss). Some of this energy is stored and then released as distortion. Forest HDMI uses air-filled Foamed-Polyethylene Insulation because air absorbs next to no energy and Polyethylene is low-loss and has a benign distortion profile. Thanks to all the air in Foamed-PE, it causes much less of the out-of-focus effect common to other materials.
Directionality
All audio cables are directional. The correct direction is determined by listening to every batch of metal conductors used in every AudioQuest audio cable. All signal conductors controlled for digital-audio direction in AudioQuest HDMI cables, and care is even taken to run the conductors used in the Audio Return Channel in the opposite direction to ensure the best performance for that application. Arrows are clearly marked on the connectors to ensure superior sound quality.
HDMI High Speed with Support for 4K UHD
The minimum specification for a HDMI cable to be classified as 'High Speed' is 10.2Gbps with a 20% overhead. Most cable manufacturers supply cables to this specification, However here at Future Shop we offer a wide range of HDMI Cables that exceed the minimum specification in order to get the best out of your equipment today and in the future.
Authorised Cable Testing Centres, only test HDMI cables to 10.2 Gbps. This means, even though many high-quality HDMI cables can potentially achieve speeds greater than 10.2Gbps, they are awarded the same rating as cables that can only achieve speeds at only 10.2 Gbps. As a result, most manufactures specialising in HDMI cables, independently test their cables to demonstrate they can handle bandwidths in excess of 10.2Gbps. Purchasing a HDMI cable from a specialist HDMI cable brand often means your cables are futureproofed to an extent as they perform at speeds beyond the technology available at the time.
Below is a table showing approximations of the bandwidth required for the most used video signals :
| 4.4.4 Chroma Subsampling | 4.2.0 Chroma Subsampling | ||
| 1080p 24Hz 8Bit | 2.23Gbps | 0.55Gbps | Standard Blu-Ray @ 4.2.0 |
| 1080p 60Hz 8Bit | 4.46Gbps | 1.12Gbps | |
| 4K UHD 30Hz 8Bit | 8.91Gbps | 2.23Gbps | |
| 4K UHD 60Hz 8Bit | 17.82Gbps | 4.45Gbps | Sky Q @ 4.2.0 |
| 4K UHD 30Hz 10Bit HDR | 10.69Gbps | 2.67Gbps | |
| 4K UHD 60Hz 10Bit HDR | 21.38Gbps | 5.35Gbps | UHD Premium Blu-Ray @ 4.2.0 |
Specification :

- All signal conductors controlled for digital-audio direction. "To" for main signal, "From" for Audio Return Channel (audio from TV to AV receiver)
About AudioQuest
AudioQuest has been the largest cable supplier to the high-end specialist market for many years. AudioQuest is sold in several hundred outlets in the US and in over sixty countries. Bill Lowe (Founder) is especially pleased that this success has been possible despite his insistence that the foundation of the company, and the foundation of AudioQuest marketing, must be the performance of the product. In the audio world, many professionals have learned that it is not always convenient to listen to the products they sell … they might learn something they don’t want to know! Bill has always understood the challenge of basing the existence of AudioQuest on the performance of the product. However, to Bill, this is the only reasonable way to do business and the only acceptable way to combine his passion for music (and all things high performance), with his need to make a living.
