While the Juke can support 4 simultaenous audio streams to different zones, it requires a different device to send each stream. This makes it a great feature for a family looking to listen to their own audio in their own desired listening rooms.

Juke only outputs in stereo. However, if you have a surround sound room if your home, you can power that with a seperate surround sound receiver and have that be an input into Juke in order to play the audio from that receiver to the other areas of the house. This can be done through the utilizaiton of this adapter.
I would love to get this but my house in not wired throughout. Will this support wireless speakers ? - Q I would love to get this but my house in not wired throughout. Will this support wireless speakers ? answer nowA
The only way to incorproate wireless speakers would be to plug something like a Sonos port into the Juke as an input. However, this would only be my reccomendation in a scenario where you have at least a few zones of wired speakers in order to take advantage of Juke's amplificaiton abilities. If you'd like to discuss the possibility of putting wired speakers into your house, we'd be glad to help bring in an installer to facilitate.

The best option for this would be to connect a bluetooth adapter into the USB port on the Juke as an input, and then use a bluetooth microphone to speak to the adapter and play to your selected zones. You can see the details for connecting a bluetooth adapter in our FAQ section.

Yes, you can control the volume for each zone independently. It produces 40 watts a channel at 8ohms. The dimensions are 15” wide by 8” deep by 3” tall
Can I combine 2 zones if I have one big room that needs 4 speakers? - A
Yes, grouping any number of zones to play together is easily done in the Juke software. You can also plug 4 speakers onto 1-2 of the zones on the Juke without overdriving the amp, as long as the speakers are rated at 8ohms.
is there a way to power a single speaker in one zone as mono? - A
There is not. However, the vast majority of music still sound completely fine & balanced by just connecting one speaker onto the left or right channel of the zone and leaving the other channel empty.

The easiest way to get a TV audio to Juke is wirelessly by plugging an Apple TV into the HDMI port on any TV and sending the audio over Airplay. If you want to run a hardwired input, you'll need to identify the available outputs (HDMI, RCA, Optical) on the back of your TV and run that back to the Juke and convert it to RCA, and then use this adapter.

Read more answer nowA
Unless the speakers you're using are very large / power intensive, you can connect 4 speakers on a maximum of 2 of the speakers on the Juke without overdriving the amplifier. However, keep in mind, that grouping two zones together in the Juke software interface is very easy to do if you do seperate the Kitchen into two zones.

As it currently stands, a 6 zone model is the smallest model that we offer. However, the price of our 6 zone is still under most smaller size models from other comparable options.
CAn you play different music per zone or is it a single stream per device? - A The juke can support up to 4 different audio streams simultaneously. Each of those streams can be routed to any combination of zone outputs. I am building another custom home and i have used control 4 in the past. Here’s what I want to do. I will have 3 smart tvs outside on the patio and pool area. I will also have a family room with Dolby 5.2 and then I want to have music in the master bathroom. So for outside I will have 2 total ceiling speakers and I want to be able to send the audio output of one of the 3 tvs to the outside speakers or if I want to listen to music instead of tv, have music from another source such as an iPhone. Can your system do this ? Total of 9 speakers in 3 zones

Read more answer nowA Our device can support up to 2 wired inputs from analog sources like a TV through the use of an adapter to convert it from whatever outputs the television has (HDMI, RCA, etc.) However, it's also worth considering plugging an AppleTV into the HDMI port of your television and transmitting the audio from that to Juke wirelessly over Airplay. Given a music stream from an Iphone like you mentioned, or any other Apple device, is also Airplay, you'll be able to easily switch back from the AppleTV audio and your music audio without having to change which outputs are aligned to which input. Can I use Subwoofer? or multiple Subwoofers for different zones?
- A Yes, you can hook up a powered subwoofer to Juke. It can not be a passive sub however, as Juke will not be able to power it by itself. See this application note on how to connect a sub: Application note - Using a Subwoofer as an Output - Rev 1.3 (1) (1) (1) Does this system work with YouTube Music?
- A Yes, you can stream YouTube Music or any app from an Apple product via Airplay. If you have an Android device, you can download a third party app called AirMusic to allow your Android to connect it's stream from Youtube Music (or any other audio source) to Juke's Airplay receiver inputs. does Juke work with a Mesh WIFI setup?
- A Yes, the Juke can either be connected to the network via ethernet (hardwired connection) or wirelessly using Juke's internal Wi-Fi. If it's being connected wirelessly, it's important that Juke be within 15ft of the nearest Wi-Fi node to get a stable connection. Then it's also important that the mesh network provide ubiquitous coverage across the entire home in order for your phones / tablets be able to stream to Juke consistently over the network. I have 5 pairs of speakers in my home, and surround sound in my TV room. Will this work to power them all?
- Q I have 5 pairs of speakers in my home, and surround sound in my TV room. Will this work to power ...... Read more answer nowA Our Juke-6 can power 6 pairs of speakers (12 speakers). However, the Juke outputs in stereo, not true surround sound like a 5.1 system. So the suggestion is to use Juke for your 5 speaker pairs, and then get a seperate surround sound receiver for the TV room. You can then connect your receiver as an input into Juke via the USB DigitNow adapter, if you want the audio from the receiver to be able to be played to other areas of the house. Can I use a separate power amp if I want more than 40w/channel?
- A Hello Brian, You can add indeed add a power amp for additional power. However, Juke tends to provide more than enough power for situations. The one scenario a third party amp tens to be utilized is in a large outdoor area with only two speakers. Although another option to get twice the loudness is to utilize 4 ohm speakers, and some outdoor speakers will actually have a switch on them to take them from 8 to 4 ohms. Please see this guide for how to add another amp: https://jukeaudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Applicationnote-connectingJukeoutputtoaline-leveldevice-Rev1.31.pdf We are doing a major renovation and are considering installing ceiling speakers.

- Q We are doing a major renovation and are considering installing ceiling speakers. I believe sendin...... Read more answer nowA
The best way to achieve balance sounded in a room is by utilizing a stereo (L+R) pair. This is the most common arrangement for whole home audio, and what Juke typically supports. Our units do not offer the ability to bridge each channel to mono, but in an instance where there is only one speaker per room, you can buy a speaker that takes both a left and right channel from the Juke and blends them together.

Or do I need analog...... Read more answer nowA
Within Juke's web interface, there is an ability to adjust the relative zone volume to any level of your choosing. However, the master volume will be the source you are playing from directly, i.e., the volume slider in your streaming app (Apple Music, Spotify, Pandora, etc.)
There are no analog volume controls needed as that can all be controlled digitally with Juke. But if you are retrofitting an older system that already has analog volume controls installed, they will still work if you choose to use them.

We have recently rolled out Airplay 2 as part of our new firmware release that is available as a free upgrade for all active units. The key benefits of Airplay 2 is the ability to stream to Juke and another Airplay 2 enabled device concurrently with the audio playing to those two devices in perfect sync. Two of the common use cases for this are:
- Incorporating a portable Airplay 2 enabled speaker in an area of a home that does not have wired speakers installed, essentially making an additional output zone of Juke.
- Streaming audio to Juke's connected speakers and a separate media room / theater that has speakers powered by an Airplay 2 enabled surround sound receiver.
The only limitation is that only one of Juke's 4 embedded airplay inputs can be set to Airplay2. Although any and all output zones can be turned on for a single input.

For example in my living room I have 5 Sonos speakers. Would my livi...... Read more answer nowA
Juke is meant to support a left and right speaker pair per zone. So for example, our 6 zone unit, the Juke-6, is intended to power 12 speakers, and our 8 zone unit, the Juke-8, is intended to power 16 speakers.
For a maximum of one of the zones on the Juke, you can power 2 speaker pairs (4 total speakers) on that zone without overdriving the amp, but you will then lose the ability to stream to those speaker pairs independently in the Juke web interface.
If you have a single speaker in a zone, Juke will be able to power that as well. It will sound fine but just not be as loud as using a standard left and right speaker pair in that zone as described above.
What is the blue tooth range on the Juke? - A
Instead of using Bluetooth, Juke utilizes embedded wireless inputs such as Airplay and Spotify Connect. These communication methods are based on Wi-Fi connection and therefore have far greater range than Bluetooth, allowing for flexible streaming across an entire home with no dropouts as long as the Wi-Fi connection is strong.
In the event you do still want to use Bluetooth, it can be achieved through the utilization of a few adapter pieces. Please see the FAQ section on our website for further details on how to do that.
Does it work with alexa? Does every zone have own input ? Every zone have output? - A
While Juke does not yet have a wireless integration with Alexa, you are able to utilize an echo dot as a wired input to the Juke, which will then communicate with the other Alexa enabled devices around your home.
Using the Juke web interface, you're able to assign turn on any combination of zones for any of Juke's 4 inputs. All of Juke's inputs are preset to wireless out of the box, but 2 of the 4 can be adjusted to take wired analog inputs, such as an Echo Dot mentioned above. In order to do so, it does require this digitized USB to RCA adapter.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What speakers will work with the Juke amplifier?
A: Juke is quite flexible in terms of the speakers it will work with including in-ceiling, in-wall, and landscape speakers. As long as the speakers are rated between 8 and 2 ohms with a power handling above 50 watts, Juke will work with them. Ideal specifications are 75 to 200 watts, and a sensitivity rating of 88db or more. Important to note that the power handling for speakers is a threshold not to be exceeded, so Juke’s 40 watts per channel is more than sufficient for most speakers. Here is a video detailing this and exhibiting expected output levels: What Speakers Work with the Juke Audio amplifier
Q: What speakers do you recommend?
A: While Juke will work weell with a wide range of speakers, we reccomend pairing our amplifier with our in-ceiling speaker referred to as the Sky Speaker. It was designed for optimal performance with the Juke amplifier and can be purchased from us here: Sky Speaker If you need reccomendations on wall-mounted or outdoor speakers send us an email at [email protected] and can we prepare a full package with speakers at a discounted price from other manufacturers.
Q: How do I play audio from my TV to Juke?
A: The most seamless option would be to utilize an Apple TV to send the audio wirelessly over Airplay to Juke in the same way you would from your phone/tablet. Our latest firmware has perfect audio to video synchronization aka lip sync.
Another options is to get a separate sound bar or surround sound receiver for a main media room or theater. If it Airplay 2 enabled then you’ll be able to stream to Juke and it from your phone in unison.
Q: How do you connect an analog device as an input to Juke?
A: Juke has two USB ports, so it is capable of supporting up to two devices that provide line-level analog signals (e.g. line-out from a surround-sound receiver, CD players, Bluetooth adaptor). In order to utilize this USB input we require the purchase of this adaptor: USB 2.0 Audio Capture Card
Q: Is Juke compatible with Android?
A: Yes. Android users can connect to Juke in three different ways:
Q: What do I do if my house has wall panels installed from an older system?
A: Nothing is needed to be done with them. Either bypass them, or just set them a full volume. You can control the volume and which zones are on or off via Juke’s interface.
Q: Does Juke support Bluetooth?
A: Yes. This can be accomplished by plugging the USB Audio adaptor into the USB port on the Juke and then plugging this Bluetooth Piece into the other end. Then you can designate 1 of the 4 sources to that bluetooth device. See details in the configuration section of the instructions tab for info on how to do that.
Q: Does Juke have an app?
A: Yes, you can download the Juke Audio application in both the Google Play and Apple App store. This app offers a streamlined setup process, device configuration, and full use of the Juke amplifier.
However, our app is not where the streaming takes place from directly. We uniquely allow our users the ability to stream natively from the major streaming apps (Apple Music, Spotify, Pandora, etc.) to the Juke zone outputs. This makes it as seamless as possible to use with no learning curve, as the streaming process is exactly the same as when playng music in any other time from your device.
Q: Can I pair multiple Jukes together?
A: Yes you can. Users can pair multiple Jukes to play music across 12 zones, 16 zones, 24 zones, etc. with all of them still being able to be controlled in the same interface! Perfect solution for those with large homes.
Q: What is Juke's power output?
A: Juke produces approximately 40W peak per channel (80 W peak per zone). The RMS power is 20W per channel (40W per zone). The total aggregate peak output power of zones operated simultaneously is approximately 400W, and the RMS value is 200W. While Juke’s output power is perfect for whole-home audio with architectural speakers, it can also be used in combination with surround-sound receivers. The receiver powers larger speakers in a TV/listening room that require more wattage, and Juke powers all the architectural speakers in all the other rooms. If this is of interest, I’d be happy to send an application note.
Nick –
This thing rips. Perfect for my home setup.
Corey Jones (verified owner) –
Ridiculously easy to set up and use. We’d included in-ceiling speakers in our new house build but held off setting up a streaming system, in part, because every other option I came across required buying a separate streaming device for each input or even wiring a separate component to our router. Besides the additional expense, it sounded like a royal pain in the a**.
With this system, I didn’t have to do any of that crap. After connecting my speaker wires and LAN cable, my wife and I were playing around with it within minutes- literally. (She’s a borderline technophobe but had no trouble at all.)
Highly recommended!
Rob Salayon (verified owner) –
Just purchased the 8 zone Juke Audio to replace my old Speakercraft MRA-664 Audio Controllers that recently died and have to say this was the easiest install I’ve ever done. The wiring connectors from my speakercraft controller were the same size as the Juke audio connectors so was just plug and play. Setup on the App was incredibly easy and within 30 minutes I had all the zones named and had audio working without any issues. My home has Apple Tv boxes in every room so making the audio go to the ceiling speakers via Airplay works perfectly. So far couldn’t be happier. Only thing I have still do do is to connect my external amplifier for my outdoor speakers to one of the outputs and I’m done.
Ben Conway (verified owner) –
This product is ridiculously awesome. We bought a house that was already wired with an old system and within 25 minutes I had Juke up and running. I was worried about not having an app, but honestly the web interface combined with airplay is easier than the interface for Sonos. I’d highly recommend Juke to anyone.
Robert Grange –
Been using the product for about three weeks now and am totally blown away. I was giving a quote by my local AV company for a system upwards of $10,000 that required a receiver, streamer, another amp, etc. Thankfully found these guys before pulling the trigger on that!
Hooked it up in about 40 minutes or so and had my music playing. Super simple.
My one wish was that they’d be able to wire back a TV to the Juke a bit more easily, but the Juke team pointed me in the direction of using AppleTV to stream my audio to Juke, and I have been pretty pleased with that. Took a bit of getting use to, but now I’ve got my Netflix coming through my ceiling speakers and am thrilled with it.
Great company and product.
Mike (verified owner) –
I was having a bit of a tough time at first getting everything up and running by myself, as I didn’t want to hire an AV guy. But then after calling in, the Juke team got me all figured out in less than 20 minutes or so? Very pleased with this product thus far. Only have owned it for a few days now but optimistic I’ll be getting good use out of this for a long time.
Bryan Larkin (verified owner) –
Finally something that works as advertised! I went through 3 different products before finally finding Juke. Hallelujah
Alex Baker –
5 stars! Exactly as advertised.
Josh Juzang (verified owner) –
Let my preface by saying I am dumb when it comes to AV setup and technology. So I was pleasantly surprised when my DIY install of this product went smoothly. The instructions were pretty clear for the most part, although I still had some questions that I needed addressed. So I called in and got someone on the phone from Juke and they were able to assist rather quickly. Whole install took me maybe 45 minutes?
Been rocking out the past 4 days since installing. For the price, this product is really cool.
Ron (verified owner) –
I had been living in a house with in-ceiling speakers for five years and never used them once because I couldn’t find anything that allowed me to use my phone to stream to them. So I gave up and was just using Alexa devices to play my music, but the sound quality was pretty poor, so one day I decided to look again and stumbled across Juke. Was a bit skeptical at first because I had never heard of them but decided to take a chance on it anyway.
Let me tell you it was one of the best bets I’ve made (usually doesn’t go well with new brands lol)! I feel like my house as come alive since installing Juke. Getting great sound quality across my entire house like I’ve wanted for so long. Have listened to this much music in years. Pretty rad.
Cons: I wish they had an app you download instead of a web app but after I saved the shortcut to my phone, it’s been pretty much the same. Still one click to open.
Erik (verified owner) –
This is a truly revolutionary product.
I have a 14-zone home audio system left over from the prior owner, and wanted to make it operate with my phone, the internet, etc. A home audio company quoted me $15K for a cabinet full of equipment to do that, Juke did it in two quite small boxes that cost me a total of $2600, and just WORK without any hassle. (Only difference between the 8 and the 6 is that on the 6 two zones are disabled via software: you can pay to have them unlocked in the future.)
With that said, the product isn’t perfect. One issue we have could be solved by future software updates: Although each box can take 4 audio sources, when you link them together (which the boxes do, automatically, without you doing much of anything) you still only get 4 audio sources. 4 sources for 8 zones was already a bit close for us, 4 sources for 14 zones is too few.
The web interface could also use a bit of refinement: when you have two boxes, you can’t really toggle between them on a computer (but it is easy on a mobile device).
It would be great if the product worked with Alexa/Echo. Again, hoping for a software refinement.
The only big wiff is on wired sources: there is just one USB in. Given that Air Play is not without its glitches, it would be nice to have more reliable connections from devices.
Finally, although the product has built-in wifi, it doesn’t work that well. Just get an extra router and connect an ethernet cable to the amp. Much better!
Lucas Stone –
I am a dumby when it comes to electronics and surprisingly found it very easy to install. Loving my Juke ever since. My wife and kids are both loving it too. Super easy to use from all of our phones.
Brandon Martin –
Fantastic product for the price point. It’s simple and just works how I need it to. Was originally planning to put in 6 Sonos amps but thankfully found Juke instead.
