Introduction

Thank you for choosing Argon Audio loudspeakers, we hope
they will bring you many years of enjoyment.

Please read this manual fully before unpacking and installing
the product.

Carton contents

We have during production and packing carefully checked and
inspected these loudspeakers.

After unpacking please check for any damage from transport.
We recommend that y ou keep the original cartonbox and
packing material for any future shipping.

In the cartonbox you will find:

2 Self-adhesive Argon logos
4 Self-adhesive rubber pads.

Loudspeaker installation

The speakers are best used with the tweeters approximately
at ear level when seated. There is a bracket hole on the
back of the C1. This can be used for mounting the C1
flat on a wall.

If you place the loudspeakers on a shelf or furniture unit, the
enclosed adhesive pads may be attached under the cabinet
and will protect from unwanted resonances and from scratches.

Loudspeaker positioning

Variations in placement of your loudspeakers can produce
dramatic differences in the way music sounds. No listening
rooms are the same and therefore we encourage you to spend
some time experimenting with which placements work best in
your

listening room. Trust your ears and be willing to experiment

freely. You can start with our basic recommendations.
Please try to ensure that the rooms surroundings of each

loudspeaker left and right are similar in acoustic character.
For example, if one loudspeaker is placed on bare walls while
the other is placed close to soft furnitures and curtains, both
the overall sound quality and the stereo image are likely to be
compromised.

Because bookshelves are usually located close to the wall,
placement on bookshe

lves will often provide a richer, more

full-bodied sound. In other words; you will get more Bass.

On the other hand, if you place the speakers free-standing
You will get less Bass but a clearer sound.
To begin with, the speakers should be positioned between

1.5 m and 3 m apart at two corners of an equilateral triangle
completed by the listening area at the third corner. See fig. 1

The Argon C1 is designed to play single-standing, if the room
is not too big.
In bigger rooms a subwoofer will need to be added
in order to get optimal

sound.

Home Theatre Systems

Argon C1 can be used as front channels in a surround
sound home theatre system.

Positioning the front loudspeakers within approximately 1metre
of the sides of your TV will create the best sound image in scale
with the visual image. The loudspeakers’ height should ideally
be between the centre and top of the screen.

If Argon C1 are to be used for reproducing the surround
channels in a multi channel home theatre system, we suggest
you place them as illustrated in Figures 2 to 4 depending on

the

number of channels.

Connecting your loudspeakers

We recommend that y ou read the manual of your amplifier or
av-receiver carefully before connecting your loudspeakers.

Please switch off all equipment when connecting your
loudspeakers.
The binding posts on the terminal accepts wire up to Ø 4mm or
cables with bananaplugs.

Make sure that positive terminal binding posts on the speaker
(marked + and coloured red) are connected to the positive
output terminal binding posts on the amplifier and that the
negative terminals on the speak

er (marked – and coloured
black) are connected to the negative output terminal on the
amplifier. See fig 5.

You are now ready to enjoy your Argon C1 loudspeakers...!
