Introduction
Welcome to the Argon family and congratulations on your purchase! This product was
designed and built by our in-house development team and is backed with a 1-year
warranty. We had a blast making these speakers and hope they bring you many years of
enjoyment.
Unpacking
Your Argon speakers were carefully tested and inspected before packaging and shipping.
After unpacking please check for any damage. It is rare that a unit is damaged during
shipping, but if this does happen contact the shipping company immediately. We
recommend that you keep the original carton and packing material for future shipping.
Recommended Speaker Setup
It is true that proper speaker placement has a huge impact on sound quality. There
are many different theories, but all rooms and tastes are different so it's impossible
to specify a correct placement. We do suggest you experiment with a few different
locations to see what works for you.
As a general rule of thumb for the best soundstage balance, the speakers should be
equi-distant from side walls and a different distance from rear walls. For the best bass
response on Argon, we recommend that you keep a minimum distance of 6-12" between
the rear of the speakers and the rear wall. For height, position the speakers with the
tweeters at eye level of your most common listening position.
Speaker Conditioning and Break-in
Although a break-in period is not required, we recommend that you play between 24
to 48 hours of music through the speakers before doing any critical listening or speaker
placement. Just set your iPod to "Repeat All" and adjust the volume to normal listening
level. You can check out all that old stuff in your library and your neighbors will
absolutely love you for it.
Speaker Cleaning
We don't recommend using any solvents or cleaners on Argon cabinets or speakers.
Just wipe down with a soft, dry cloth.
