A few warnings, hints and tips:
Instructions: Read (even though its very boring), follow and maintain this Manual
Water and Moisture: Keep the DAB4+ out of and away from water and moisture
Heat: Do not expose the DAB4+ to excessive heat or sunlight.
Notice that the color of the casing can fade if placed directly in sunlight for prolonged period of time.
If the Radio is placed close to a wall or in a corner the Bass sound will be more predominant.
On the other hand if placed “in the open” the sound will be thinner and more clear.
You can experiment with this for your optimal sound quality.
Tip: The sound quality on DAB stations my vary a lot. This is due to two main reasons.
1) the bitrate that is broadcasted. The higher the bitrate the better the sound quality
2) broadcaster use of audio-compression. Some broadcasters choose to use equalization and compression
on the sound. Its our experience that it makes the sound distorted and we would never recommend that.
However its not our choice and we can do nothing about it except make the listener aware of this.
For more information on which broadcasters use compression in your area contact argon.audio.com
Tip: consider to buy a set of Active speaker as Argon 7340A or Argon 7350A and you will get a outstanding
sound out of your DAB4+
