Product Overview The Juke Audio multi-room streaming amplifier is an all-in-one solution for powering and wirelessly controlling pre-wired architectural speakers across an entire home or building. Through this guide, we’ll explain the simple steps of connecting speaker wires to the Juke, getting the unit onto the local network, and streaming content from Wi-Fi enabled devices and wired analog inputs.
Installation The Juke can be installed in one of two locations: Rack or Table-Top 1. Placed onto a shelf or a flat surface. For best performance, do not rest any other equipment on top of it or place the unit in a location that might cause the unit to run hot 2. Mounted into a 19” equipment rack using the optional rack ears that come with the shipment. There are two aluminum plates that attach to the Juke with the 4 screws provided and are used to screw the unit into the rack.
Tools required (not included): wire strippers, scissors and small blade screwdriver Cut a small amount of the insulation covering the speaker wires Peal back the insulation to expose 2 or 3 inches of wire Peal it like a banana Cut off the excess insulation Strip about 1/4 inch of insulation from each wire Fan out the wire strands Twist the wire strands and make sure none are sticking out Insert each wire in the terminal block and tighten the screw Repeat the steps for the remaining wires Repeat th
Getting on the Network Juke can be connected to your network either through a hard-wired ethernet connection or wirelessly over Wi-Fi as well. Whenever possible, we recommend a hard-wired connection for most stable performance.

Networking Tips All communication between your devices and Juke will be done over the network, and it is therefore very important to ensure a stable connection between the Juke, the router, and any device looking to stream to Juke. Most networks should work normally as is but if you are experiencing problems, here are a few criteria that need to be enabled within your network settings to ensure proper communication: 1.Select IPV4, not IPV6 2.Disable 5 GHz 3.Make sure security is WPA2, not WPA3 4.
Accessing the Juke Web App Once you have merged the Juke onto your network you’ll be able to access the web app from any device connected to that same network. On Apple product: type in Juke.local into the web browser of Safari On Android / PC: type in the IP address assigned to Juke by your router into your web browser. (Note: the IP address will no longer be 10.0.0.5 after you’ve connected your Juke to your network.) The assigned IP can be located by going to jukeaudio.
Configuring All the Juke device configuration can be done in the Administrator settings of the Juke web app. The password to this is preset to “Admin” with a Capital A but can be changed inside of the Admin settings. See troubleshooting section of this guide for how to reset the password. Editing Zone Names Editing Zone Volumes When Juke is first installed, the zones are numbered. You will want to give them names that you recognize (e.g. kitchen, deck, master bedroom, etc.).
Playing Audio From the home screen of the Juke web app, you will see your 4 available inputs listed at the bottom of the page. Tapping on any of them will turn that input light blue to signify that is the input you are now controlling. You can then turn any combination of zones on for that selected input, e.g., every zone, just a couple, or none. A zone will be light blue to signify that it’s been turned on. Please note that you can not have a zone turned on for multiple inputs at one time.
Spotify Connect UP TO 8 ZONES ( Combine Juke For More Zones ) Stream directly from your premium Spotify account to Juke. This serves as a terrific option for users looking to stream from their Android and computers, and has an added benefit of the music not stopping when a phone call comes in. LEFT & RIGHT SPEAKER PER ZONE How to Access: 1.Launch the Spotify app on your device. Click on the “Devices Available” icon (shown on the lower-left USB SLOTS ACCEPTS above). 2.Select one of the Jukes devices.
Getting Audio From TV to Juke Apple TV To do so you must connect your AppleTV to Airplay. This can be done by holding down the TV icon on your AppleTV remote and selecting the Airplay input that you have your selected zones turned on for. (Note: YouTube TV does not yet support this feature) Hard Wired Connection Another option is to run a hardwired connection directly from your TV or cable box back to the Juke.
Add-Ons Additional Volume If you’re seeking more volume from your Juke there are few different options. The most seamless option is to utilize 4 ohm speakers when possible as that will give twice the loudness of an 8 ohm speaker. Some outdoor speakers even have a switch that takes them from 8 ohm to 4 ohm speakers. An alternative is to utilize a third party amplifier to drive additional power, essentially making Juke a pre-amp in a specific zone. This can be done in two different ways: 1.
And here is what they look like applied to the terminal block in parallel with the PAC device (the brown wires are for grounding, which can be ignored, so just apply electricians tape to the ends): Pac part Adding on Zones The Juke-6 can be upgraded via a premium software upgrade available on our website to enable the 7th and 8th zone of the unit. In situations where more than 8 zones are required, you can combine our units together to reach more zones.
Here is what the wires from the Rockford Fosgate part look like when they are connected in parallel with the left speaker for a zone: Amazon Alexa Voice Commands with Juke Summary This brief guide explains the steps of how to pair Amazon Echo devices with the Juke Audio amplifier in order to send audio content via voice commands to Juke’s connected speakers.
Configuring your Alexa Devices First download the Amazon Alexa App in Apple’s App store or the Google Play store Once in the app, hit the “more” tab seen in the bottom right. Then hit add device at the top of the screen to set up your connected devices. Within the setup ensure that all your Alexa devices are on the same Wi-Fi so they can communicate with each other.
However, keep in mind that the volume buttons on the echo connected to the Juke will also greatly impact the volume as well. Streaming to Juke from Android via AirMusic Summary This brief guide explains the steps of how to steam to Juke from an Android device via an app called AirMusic that mimics the same functionality of streaming via Airplay on an Apple Product. This can be used to stream nearly all major streaming services. Download the App In the Google Play, you can download the AirMusic app.
The volume slider seen above for each input will serve as the master volume. Turning the Zones On Inside of the Juke web app, you must turn the zones for the input(s) that you just connected to in the AirMusic app. This is done in the same way it is for any of Juke’s other Airplay inputs. Song Playing and Volume Control The final step is to go to your music app of choice (Tidal, Amazon Music, etc.) and beginning playing your music.
Troubleshooting If you are experiencing any issues with your unit, the first step is to check the two indicator lights on the Juke. When the unit is in working condition, the heartbeat light should be blinking, and when the unit is connected to the network, the lighting bolt light should be firmly on. If you are experiencing any issues with your unit, the first step is to try cycling the power on the Juke as well as restarting your device.
Connection Dropping Out Intermittently If Juke is connected wirelessly over Wi-Fi and you are experiencing intermittent dropouts in your audio when trying to stream, it is likely a cause of poor signal strength. To help alleviate this we recommend either connecting Juke to a TP-Link N300 with an ethernet cord, or connecting this Wi-Fi USB adapter directly into one of Juke’s USB ports.
