HDMI Active enhances viewing and sound quality

This product features heavy gauge silver-plated oxygen-free signal conductors.

Signal attenuation has been reduced with the use of 26AWG conductors.

Overlapped foil shielding around all critical signal paths minimises crosstalk.

Double outer foil and high-density braid combine to minimise the levels of external interference.

The exciting aspect of the Chord HDMI Active is the inclusion of a high-frequency filter on all lengths.

The filter reduces the intra/inter channel skew between the four pairs of TDMS signals.

The HDMI Active cable improved all aspects of the picture in tests using Denon, Arcam, Yamaha and Playstation 3 DVD and Blu-ray players.

When compared with the Chord HDMI Silver plus 1.3, the Chord Active produced a more detailed, dynamic and musically coherent sound.

The improvement in performance was such that in tests, participants consistently chose a 15-metre Chord Active HDMI cable over a similarly priced one-metre cable.
