AudioQuest's new Slinky HDMI and MHL cables borrow their name from a fascinating toy, which (at least
to a child) seems capable of the impossible. AQ's Slinky doesn't perform any magic, but it does offer
top-performance 4K Ultra HD and 3D 1080p video along with the kind of low-distortion superior audio that
AudioQuest is known for, in a super-slim and extra-flexible cable.
Slinky comes in 2.0 meter lengths (only), in any of the following configurations: HDMI Standard size on both
ends (A
¡¢A), HDMI Micro to HDMI Standard (D¢A), and in the MHL system of USB Micro to HDMI Standard (a
USB Micro to Samsung-compatible adaptor is included). MHL enables HD audio and video to be sent from a
growing number of smart phones and tablets to MHL-enabled HDMI inputs (clearly marked as such on the
equipment's HDMI inputs) on many home-entertainment components, including HDTVs and AV receivers.
Inside the practical and easy-to-use Slinky cables are the same superior materials and techniques used in
AudioQuest's full-size HDMI cables, such as Solid Long-Grain Copper (LGC) conductors, which eliminate
strand-interaction, the single biggest source of distortion in all cables. LGC’s reduced impurities and fewer grain
boundaries result in sound that’s clearer, more intelligible and simply more fun to listen to whether watching
your favorite concert videos or movies and TV shows.
In addition, because all audio cables are directional, all Slinky cables are controlled for correct directionality. In
its HDMI Standard (to Standard) configuration, Slinky’s plugs are labeled with arrows pointing from source to
destination for the purest possible sound. In its Micro HDMI and MHL configurations Slinky has no arrows
because it can't be used in the wrong direction.
The HDMI versions of Slinky are rated "High Speed with Ethernet," and are tested to far exceed HDMI’s current
10.2 Gbps maximum data rate. Slinky is more than capable of passing 4K Ultra HD, 1080p and 1080p 3D video,
and transmits 100% of the data required for today’s 120Hz/240Hz and 600Hz HD displays.
Slinky MHL to HDMI Standard cables are MHL 2.0 compliant, capable of delivering HD video up to 1080p/60 in
2D or 3D, and up to eight channels of uncompressed audio including high-resolution 24-bits/192kHz.
