Are you sure it is a Juno and not the portable version of Apollo?

Hi Steve.
I have a Juno which doesn't have a speaker, I don't know whether it was
released before or after the version that did, but the main difference is
that it doesn't have that large hump protrusion and grill, it is very slim,
as slim as the body of the Juno with speaker, but you need to have
headphones or an external speaker to hear the output.
All the best, Ibrahim.

Hi,
Actually all the Junos had a built in speaker. The only one that didn't,
obviously, was the Dolphin Apollo PC card.
All the best
Steve

Ibrahim. It's a chunky thing, the box has two levels, like a step. I
assume it has a speaker because it feels like it has plastic grills.
