ITR-01 Juno Tower System Integration Guidelines
Today’s modern classroom has a host of electronic devices used to support the instructional environment. Many of
these devices are connected together via a personal computer that typically acts as the control point for these devices.
Projectors, interactive white boards, document cameras, paging interfaces, etc, are all typically connected to a classroom
PC. In addition to these major devices there are often other support devices used to make these connections.
Your new Juno Tower is another electronic device that can also be connected to your classroom PC. But unlike the other
electronic devices mentioned above, the Juno Tower contains a sensitive Infrared radio receiver. To ensure that the Juno
Tower is providing good performance, it is important to follow good installation practices. When the Juno Tower is
connected to the classroom PC, it is now sharing a common ground reference with all the other devices connected to
the PC. If one or more of the devices has a poor or noisy ground reference, its poor performance can influence other
devices connected to the same reference and this includes your Juno Tower. To help ensure the best performance
possible, please refer to the installation guidelines listed below:
1. Connect the Juno Tower’s external power supply to a good AC mains point. Do not use extension cords and if a
power strip is used, ensure that it is of good quality.
2. Do not position the Juno Tower where sunlight can directly shine on the Tower. The Tower uses infrared signals to
link the transmitter to the receiver. Sunlight contains infrared energy and will reduce the system’s performance.
3. Use good quality audio cables when connecting the Tower to the classroom PC. Also use the appropriate length cable.
4. The USB cable provided with your Juno System has been qualified by FrontRow and should be used to connect the
Tower to the computer. If another length of cable is needed, then it must be certified for USB 2.0 or better.
5. Connect the USB cable directly to the computer. Do not connect via an External USB Hub device. Many
inexpensive hubs do not use quality components or good grounding principles.
6. Avoid running the USB and audio cables connecting your Juno Tower to the computer with other cables. Noise can
be present on the other cables and can couple into the cables connecting the Juno Tower to the computer.

Class collaboration expands the reach of your lesson and introduces your class to new and
exciting experiences. The Juno system ensures everyone can hear equally and participate in
the learning forum.
Collaborative learning using Class2Class
Numerous online resources such as education.skype.com provide opportunities for your classroom to participate in live
educational events and projects with other classes and programs such as Skype™, Adobe®Connect™and others* provide
the medium to see and hear your collaborative classroom partners. Use the Juno Tower to ensure all students are able to
effectively participate in the learning session by easily hearing the conversation as well as sharing their thoughts during the
session using the optional Pass-Around Microphones. For example, FrontRow classrooms have used this technique to
simultaneously connect 14 different classrooms to a live talk with an Olympic athlete, and let students communicate with a
NASA Command Center during an emergency simulation.
In both classrooms:
1. Using a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable, plug the Audio Out from the Tower to the "microphone" or "line in" on your com-
puter. See Image 21
2. Using a 3.5mm to RCA cable, plug the "audio" or "headset" out on your computer to one of
the audio in connections on the Tower. See Image 21
NOTE: Some computers have a single audio combination jack for both microphone and headset use. If your
computer has this type of jack, you must use a headphone/microphone combo jack splitter. This adapter has a
single 3.5mm male connector and two 3.5mm female connectors.
3. Using the supplied USB cable, connect the Juno Tower to your computer.
4. Using the optional FrontRow Desktop software (download from gofrontrow.com/products/frontrow-juno),
enable the Class2Class option.
5. Install and run the communication software application (e.g., Skype™, Adobe®Connect™)
6. Connect to other classroom or collaborator using the communication software.
7. Speak into the Juno microphones; all microphone audio will be transmitted between classrooms and audible via
the Tower speakers.
8. If you like, you may start a recording of the session. Note that media audio originating from the computer and
audio from the remote classroom will not be recorded.
9. When finished, disable the Class2Class option to ensure that computer audio is recorded during normal recording
sessions.

Combining your other teaching technologies
Your FrontRow Juno System can connect to other media to enhance the overall audio experience in your class-
room. Ideally, these connections were made during installation; however, they can easily be made after the unit
is installed using standard audio cords from your local electronics store.
Example 1
Many classrooms use a FrontRow EZRoom™AV control system to manage projectors and other equip-
ment online. If your classroom uses EZRoom™, you’ll connect your computer audio and video into your AV
wallplate and connect your Tower to the TB350 adapter via a 3.5mm cable.
NOTE: The use of high quality audio cables is recommended to avoid the introduction of interference to
the system.

Get yourself ready
Your Juno system is a self-contained speaker line array, but if you need additional sound coverage for large or
odd shaped rooms, Juno can be expanded to be used with additional speakers. (If you are not installing speakers,
proceed to page 24).
To install speakers you will need some basic tools and materials, depending on how your classroom is built:
1. What kind of walls do you have?
For drywall installations (similar to most houses) gather the following tools:
Drill Wall anchors
Drill bits Cable tacks/staples
Phillips #2 driver bit Plastic cable (zip) ties
Level or ruler/tape measure Plastic raceway with screws
Crimp pliers or scissors Tin snips (optional)
Hammer Ladder
Staple gun Safety goggles
For concrete walls, assemble the following tools:
Hammer drill Hammer
Masonry drill bits Plastic cable (zip) ties
Phillips #2 driver bit Plastic raceway with adhesive

Plan your installation (Speakers)
Estimated time for this step: 5-10 minutes
Your classroom is ready and you’ve organized all the parts and tools you’ll need to set up your classroom
amplification system. Now it’s time to decide where you’ll place major components. To help you decide,
we’ll use the following layout of a typical classroom as an example:
1. Decide where to put the Tower
We recommend locating the Tower near the majority of your potential audio sources — DVD player, computer,
and the teaching computer. This will make it easier to connect cables, and there are probably convenient
power sources near these as well. Follow system integration guidelines on page 2.

16
Plan speaker placement
Proper speaker placement is critical to getting optimum benefit from any classroom amplification system.
Improperly chosen or installed speakers can actually harm intelligibility, so please take the time to plan this
step thoroughly.
It’s useful to imagine each speaker as a flashlight, and that your goal is to light up the areas where students are
sitting. Speakers should therefore be focused on the students and facing them.
Speaker symbols:
= ceiling speakers
= IR speakers
There may be cases in which you want to install more speakers than normal (e.g. the room is very large) or
connect speakers in series (e.g. to save cable length). Refer to Appendix B for guidance.

17
Installing ceiling speakers?
Use the following guidelines when choosing where to put your ceiling speakers:
Define the area where students are sitting — this is the area you want to cover with speakers; not the entire room.
Place the Tower where it will face the center of the listening area and will allow connection to the teaching
computer and audio sources. With the help of an assistant, one of you should talk into the teacher microphone
while the other is sitting in the seats closest to the Tower. Set the master volume to a comfortable level for the
person seated.
Next, have one person stay at the front of the room and talk into the microphone while the other person walks to
the back of the room. When the volume in the back of the room becomes low enough to notice reduced intelligibility,
take note of the space. Install 2 or more speakers to cover the area not adequately covered by the Tower.

Installing IR speakers?
Use the following guidelines when choosing where to put your IR-Speakers:
• Definetheareawherestudentsaresitting—thisistheareayouwanttocoverwithspeakers;nottheentireroom.
• Speakersshouldonlybeplacedonthesidewallsoftheclassroom.
• Wallsshouldhaveaspaceapproximately10inwideby5intall(25x13cm)tosolidlymountthewallbracket.
• If the room has drop lighting, the speaker should be placed just below the bottom of the lights — the teacher should
be able to see at least one speaker from all parts of the room.
• IR speakers have a built-in sensor. Be sure to read the general guidelines for sensor and sensor cable
installation on page 24.
Place the Tower where it will face the center of the listening area and will allow connection to the teaching
computer and audio sources. With the help of an assistant, one of you should talk into the teacher microphone
while the other is sitting in the seats closest to the Tower. Set the master volume to a comfortable level for the
