Setup and Placement
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. See Image 1
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. See Image 2

Volume Setting Guidance
Your Juno Tower is equipped with a powerful
feedback suppression engine that helps
avoid harsh squealing noise that would
normally occur when a microphone gets too
close to a speaker. Nevertheless, try to use
volume settings for daily use that give good
audibility without constantly activating the
feedback suppression engine.
The chart below shows the volume settings
for the Pendant and Pass-around microphones
that are adequate for a typical classroom
environment (600 - 900ft
more volume is required for a large or noisy
environment, you may notice the feedback
engine suppressing squeals and at a certain
critical volume or distance, the engine may not
be able to maintain a pleasant audio quality. If
feedback occurs, move away from the Tower,
remain behind it while talking, or lower either
the master volume or the volume for the
microphone that is causing the feedback.

OptiVoice
™
A powerful tool for test taking, directions
and ESL instruction. Fragile consonant
sounds carry 75% of the meaning in speech
but are easily destroyed by background
noise. OptiVoice strengthens these critical
sounds, doing the work of a 12-band
equalizer with a single switch.
For low background noise environments
and for a more natural reproduction of your
voice, use the low setting. For environments
with higher background noise, use the mid
or high setting (see Image 12). Experiment
with the right mix of microphone volume and
OptiVoice setting to find the optimal solution
for your environment.
NOTE: OptiVoice affects microphone audio
only; auxiliary audio sources can be adjusted
using the equalizer adjustment in the optional
FrontRow Desktop system control software.

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 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
3. Using the supplied USB cable, connect the Juno Tower to your computer.

Page 38
Using Multiple Microphones
Your Juno system is designed to receive up to 5 microphone signals at once*. Any combination
of Pass-Around and Pendant Microphones is possible. For example, use two Pendant Microphones
(one for a teacher and one for a teacher’s aide) and three Pass-Around Microphones for students,
or one Pendant Microphone for a teacher and four Pass-Around Microphones for students.
Microphones must be on different channels or interference will occur. You can quickly
program them to properly operate on different channels.
NOTE: If you are just using the ITM-01 Pendant Microphone with the ISM-01 Pass-Around
Microphone, you probably don't need to program or set anything. The ITM-01 Pendant
Microphone is factory set to transmit on Juno channel A and the ISM-01 Pass-Around Microphone
is factory set to transmit on Juno channel B.
If you have the Channel Expansion Module installed in your Juno Tower and are using multiple
microphones, you must assign channels using the FrontRow Desktop or Microphone Settings
software and set mic switch positions so that each ITM-01 Pendant and ISM-01 Pass-Around
Microphone transmits on a unique channel. Use the Recommended Channel Setting guide below
to program channels and choose switch positions for your microphones.
Programming and switching the microphone channels
You can program channels and customize other features of your microphone using the FrontRow
Desktop software application.
