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.

Estimated time for this step: 15 minutes
Your Juno Tower will perform best when you place it:
•Evenwitheitherthefrontorrearedgeofthemainlisteningarea(i.e.wherestudentssit)
and
•Withthespeakerfacingthecenterofthelisteningarea.
Choose the location that allows connection to the teaching computer (4m USB cable provided) and other audio
sources (e.g. DVD player)
You can either mount the Juno Tower on a wall using a standard 100mm VESA mount (recommended) or simply
place it on a table using the stand provided. In any case, the bottom edge of the Tower should be at least 4.5 feet
(1.3m) from the floor.
If wall mounting, angle the tower down to point at the center of the listening area.
Tip
If you are installing any of the optional expansion modules, do that first.

1. Mount the wall attachment plate to the wall using the
appropriate screw type for the wall type (i.e. concrete,
masonry black, wood stud). (See Image 1)
2. Using the screws included with your Juno Tower, attach the
mounting plate to the back of the Juno Tower (See Image 2)
3. Attach the swivel arm to the mounting plate using the
short screw with nylon washer, and black tightening knob
(See Image 3). NOTE: Make sure the square hole is on
the top.
4. Attach the swivel arm to the wall attachment using the long
screw and nut (See Image 4).

Connect the Juno Tower to your computer
1. Using a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable, plug the Audio Out from the Tower to the "microphone" or "line in" on your computer. 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. Set the auxiliary output volume dial between 4 and 6.
5. Install the FrontRow Desktop software which includes the Juno lecture capture system. Download from
gofrontrow.com/products/frontrow-juno.
6. Follow the easy on-screen configuration instructions.
7. Using the ITM-01 Pendant Microphone, and the voice commands on page 19, begin, suspend, and finish your recording. The
Juno lecture capture system automatically names and saves your recordings (screen and audio) to your computer's hard
drive. Follow the software's guidance to help you upload it to Google Apps for Education or another host of your choice.
NOTE: Test the audio quality of your recording. If the volume is too low or too high, check your computer's micro-
phone or line input volume settings and adjust.
8. Share the location of your uploaded files with your students according to the host's instructions.

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.
NOTE: To learn more about the FrontRow Desktop software, visit gofrontrow.com/products/frontrow-juno.
NOTE: The use of high quality audio cables is recommended to avoid the introduction of interference to the system.

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.
