Dear Customer,
Quality has always been our driving force and founding Argon Audio is
a natural extension of this philosophy.

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!
Congratulations with your Radio3i, may it bring years of enjoyment.
