Why Pangea HDMI Cables Produce Such Vivid Images and Sound Amazing
HDMI cable performance varies wildly due to two factors: the raw materials and how they are employed. It's one thing to use fine materials. However, if they are not manufactured correctly the resulting cable will not be of uniform impedance and will betray signal loss even in short lengths. Pangea HDMI cables start with only the finest available copper and insulates it with premium Nitrogen-Injected Polyethylene Multi-Layer Foam. This special insulation is crucial because it provides significantly lower signal loss than lesser materials.
Pangea HDMI cables are manufactured using state-of-the-art Swiss-made production equipment that is rarely used in commercial products. The accuracy of this Swiss equipment insures that all the signal pairs within the cable are exactly the same length - even with the twisting necessary - so that all signals arrive simultaneously at the connector.
All testing of Pangea HDMI cables is done by Time Domain Reflectometry instruments to insure cables do not suffer from timing errors regardless of cable length.
Largest Commercially Available HDMI Signal Conductors
Premier was designed by Jay Victor, one of the biggest behind-the-scenes product designers in the audiophile world and a longstanding expert on cable technology. Jay designed Pangea Audio Premier HDMI cable using high-quality 24 awg conductors in the shorter length cables (0.6M to 3.0M) to keep the cable as flexible as possible. In lengths of 4.0M and longer, Premier boasts robust 23 awg conductors – the largest gauge signal conductor commercially available for HDMI.
In the case of HDMI, the heavier gauge results in better signal conductivity in longer runs. All cables lose signal strength and information as they transmit electrical signals, but Premier HDMI cable will exhibit the lowest signal loss of any HDMI cable up to $200 and beyond.
High-Speed, High-Performance Design
To put Pangea Premier HDMI cable within easy reach of any audiophile, Jay Victor chose a highly effective yet affordable conductor material. Premier uses high-conductivity, high purity OFC oxygen free copper, which is a superior performer compared to lesser versions of copper. The tough nylon braided jacket is both strong and flexible.
Premier HDMI is a perfect match for today's ultra hi-res video systems. It meets HDMI 1.4, 4K certification and is certified for ""High Speed"" applications.
HDMI Audio Return Channel (ARC)
Pangea Audio Premier HD23PC HDMI Cable includes an HDMI Audio Return Channel (ARC), a particularly useful feature that was added to the HDMI 1.4 standard in 2009. ARC is an additional audio connection intended to replace external cables between the TV and the A/V receiver, or active speaker system, to simplify setup.
