Owner’s manual 

 
Dear Customer, 

Quality has always been our driving force and founding 
Argon Audio is a natural extension of this philosophy. 
We have 20 years’ experience in creating and specifying 
high quality products, manufacturing them and selling them 
on to end users with Value-for-Money as the primary aim. 
And Argon Audio is a brand fully compliant with these 
values. 
Design, features and quality standards are all specified in 
Denmark and manufacturing takes place in the Far East, 
where quality vendors are highly competitive - and as a 
result supply outstanding Value-for-Money products 
– to the delight of both ourselves and our customers! 

 

Introduction 

Thank you for choosing Argon Audio TT-2 Turntable, we 
hope it will bring you many years of enjoyment. 
Please read this manual fully before unpacking and 
installing the product.  
Maintenance and cleaning 
Your record player requires little or no regular maintenance. 
Remove dust with a slightly moistened antistatic cloth. 
Never use a dry cloth because this will create static 
electricity which attracts more dust! Antistatic cleaning fluids 
are available at specialist stores but must be applied 
sparingly to avoid damage to rubber parts. It is 
recommended to fit the needle cover before cleaning or 
maintenance is carried out to avoid damage. 
 

If the player is not used over a long period of time the drive 
belt can be removed to prevent unequal stretching. 

Always disconnect the record player from the mains power 
supply as a precaution before maintenance!

 

Useful tips 

The record player should be positioned on a low-resonance 
surface such as wood or multiple layer ply board to avoid 
structural vibrations disturbing replay. 

 

Environmental information 

Argon TT2 complies with international directives on the 
Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) in electrical 
and electronic equipment and the disposal of Waste.
