Juke Multi-Room Streaming Amplifier with Rack Mount

Simplify Your Audio Setup and Control

Improve or build your home audio system with the Juke Multi-Room Streaming Amplifier with Rack Mount! This multi-zone audio streaming amplifier delivers audio from 4 wired or Wi-Fi inputs simultaneously to multiple zones throughout your home. Juke is capable of supporting wireless audio sources from popular streaming services including Spotify, Apple Music, Youtube, and more using Airplay or Spotify Connect. Wired inputs from surround sound receivers, TVs, or other line-level analog inputs are possible via two USB inputs and USB adapters (sold separately). Up to four (4) inputs may be played across various or multiple zones simultaneously, giving your family, team members, or friends the comfort and convenience of playing their audio wherever they want to hear it.

• Audio distribution amplifier delivers wired or wireless streaming audio sources to connected wired speakers
• Delivers up to 4 simultaneous audio sources to 6 zones (12 channels) or 8 zones (16 channels) depending on selected model
• Class D-amplifier output 40 watts per channel at 8 Ohm speaker impedance
• Wireless audio streaming via Airplay, Airplay2, AirMusic for Android, Spotify Connect, and Bluetooth via USB adapter
• 2 USB inputs support various audio inputs through USB adapters including analog RCA connections, surround-sound amplifiers, smart assistants, Bluetooth audio, and more
• Multiple Juke units can be connected and controlled as a single device for installations larger than 8 zones
• Controllable via an easy-to-use Web App interface, requires an Internet connection to operate
• Voice control compatible via Amazon Alexa when an Amazon smart assistant device is plugged into a USB port

The Juke Audio Amplifier powers connected in-wall and in-ceiling speakers, up to 2 speakers per zone at 40W per channel. The maximum output the Amplifier can support is 600W.

The Juke-6 can add up to two additional zones with the purchase of a premium software upgrade available on Juke's website to enable the 7th and 8th zones. If your home or business has more audio zones than your selected Juke Audio Amplifier, additional Juke units can be paired with your initial unit to increase the total number of audio zones within your system. Once the additional Juke units are connected to your Internet network, they will recognize each other and pair wirelessly, allowing you to stream across the zones together.

With the purchase of a third-party USB adapter, you may include additional audio inputs including TVs, existing surround sound receivers, Bluetooth receivers, voice control smart assistants, etc.

Control your Juke Audio Amplifier through the Juke Web App. This browser-based web interface allows you to select where you want to play your audio and adjust volume and settings for the entire system or individual zones. Users must be on the same Internet network in order to control Juke audio zones. Up to 4 users may simultaneously play audio within a single Juke network.

Installation Details

The Juke Multi-Room Streaming Amplifier is designed for use with 8-ohm third-party speakers (sold separately), which wire into the back of the matrix using size 12-22 gauge speaker wire. Each zone supports 1 pair of speakers (1 left-channel speaker, 1 right-channel speaker).

The Amplifier can be placed onto a flat surface such as shelves or desktops, or mounted into a 19" rack using the provided rack mount plates, (requires 2U space).

An ethernet or Wi-Fi connection is required for the Juke Audio Amplifier to operate. If using a Wi-Fi connection, it is recommended the Amplifier be within 15 ft of an access point or router. Once the Juke Audio Amplifier is added to your network, log into the Juke Web App to set up your zones's settings, then select your audio source, where you want it played, and begin your new home audio experience.
