Step 1: Before you begin
Get your classroom ready
1. Does your classroom meet the system requirements?
Check the table below to confirm that your classroom is set up properly for the Frontrow Pro Digital
system you have. In most cases one ceiling sensor will be sufficient. However, some classrooms may require
one or more additional sensors for optimal room coverage. While other classroom configurations may work
with your Frontrow Pro Digital system, we can only support those listed below.
2. Think about combining your other teaching technologies
Your Frontrow Pro Digital system is the communication center of your classroom. Take advantage of this
opportunity to connect your TV, VCR, computer, CD player, MP3 player and other teaching technology to
your active learning system. This will allow children to hear not only your voice, but also the rich multimedia
content you’re providing, regardless of where they’re seated.
Deciding what other devices you’ll want to connect to your FrontRow Pro Digital system now will make
positioning the receiver easier in Step 1. There are four ways to approach integration.
Example 1
Many classrooms use a computer as a multi-media "hub" (with an LCD projector), which is connected to
the internet or school network to download/stream all audio and video, and MP3 files. For these class-
rooms, you may only require one auxiliary audio input connection to the 940R.

Example 2
Some classrooms use a computer as the multi-media "hub", but it is connected to a TV instead of an LCD
projector. They also occasionally use the TV/DVD/VCR as a stand alone media. For these classrooms, you
may need to use both auxiliary audio input connections to the 940R.

Example 3*
Some classrooms may have many different types of media, but because of the age of the equipment
or incompatible input/outputs, they may not integrate with each other. For these classrooms, you may
choose to use an auxiliary audio box to connect all the sources to one location, then connect it to one
audio input connection to the 940R.

Nearly everything you need to install your FrontRow Pro Digital system is included in the boxes we shipped.
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
Level or ruler/tape measure Tin snips (optional)
Crimp pliers or scissors Ladder
Concrete screws Safety goggles
2. Are you installing ceiling speakers?
If so, you’ll also need:
Keyhole saw or sabre saw or RotoZip
Electrical tape
Short length of string or twine

Step 3: 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 active learning
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 receiver
We recommend locating the receiver in a corner with good visibility of the classroom, at about the teacher’s eye-level.
If you’re going to be connecting other audio sources to your receiver (see Before You Begin), consider a location
near the teacher’s computer or TV/VCR/DVD. There are probably convenient power sources near these as well.
