Ricable Supreme HDMI MKII (I2S Audio)

State of the art HDMI cable, perfect for I2S Audio, with full 4K and HDR support. The conductor is made of pure monocrystalline copper OCC 24 AWG (purity 99.9999%).

The times when the Lumière brothers entertained crowds with the "magic" of early cinematography are long gone, but we are still amazed by the special effects and Oscar-winning performances. Video reproduction has made huge strides towards High Resolution, a resolution that is often even more sophisticated than the reality we know. In this type of digital Audio-Video reproduction, the amount of data is truly impressive, and having a standard, budget HDMI cable makes any effort to choose the best equipment on the market useless.

Supreme MKII, a special version for I²S audio.

Why did Ricable choose to upgrade the HDMI cable to MKII with an outdated standard like 2.0b? It's simple because the Supreme HDMI MKII does flawlessly with these types of connections, which are still commonplace in so many Audio/Video systems, and in this context often performs even better than the Ricable Visus model with the latest HDMI 2.1 standard.

Another very important reason for updating this cable is the introduction of the I²S protocol  over the HDMI port to the world of Hi-Fi Audio. This type of digital connection is increasingly present in today's electronics. The I²S connection has special transfer requirements that are not compatible with standard HDMI cables as it is in the video world, so Ricable has determined that the Supreme HDMI MKII cable should be used to properly transmit this type of signal with a separate clock line , which is much more efficient in this respect than even classic HDMI 2.1 cables. Supreme HDMI MKII is specially designed for I²S signal transmission.

In order to enjoy the performance and functionality of I²S over an HDMI port, it is important to note that both devices connected via I²S must have the same pinout as there is no real unified standard for I²S connectors like for example HDMI for video, so it may happen that two different devices with I²S ports have different pins.

Removable connector housing, great comfort.

Often, especially in the case of home theater systems, we are faced with the need to run HDMI cables in corrugated or conduit, and this becomes a problem when the connector is too large to pass through.

To overcome this disadvantage, Ricable has implemented a removable housing in the connectors of the Supreme HDMI MKII cable to significantly reduce the size of the connector head during assembly, ensuring easy cable routing in 20mm tubes.

The procedure is very simple: following the instructions provided with the product, simply remove the two screws holding the connector housing, then remove the connector housing while passing the cable through the tube, tube, etc., then reassemble the connector housing when the procedure is complete.

Ultimate, exceptional HDMI 2.0b performance.

Optimize your Audio-Video system with amazing data transfer. Ricable Supreme MKII provides  65% better transfer speed (29Gbps ​​bandwidth) compared to standard HDMI cables. TMDS and HEAC cables are made of pure OCC monocrystalline copper with a diameter of 24 AWG, with dedicated double shielding.

HDMI 2.0b certified cable. The latest cable, the Supreme HDMI MKII, not only meets the minimum specifications required by the HDMI consortium, but far exceeds them and offers the best specifications on the market. The Supreme MKII cable is also backward compatible with HDMI 1.4 and 1.3 in terms of both functionality and features.
