Multi room streaming audio is a fun and affordable way to upgrade your home. Juke Audio's six-zone or eight-zone (12- or 16-channel) smart amplifier is a quick, easy, and reasonably priced way to get started. Leveraging AirPlay/AirPlay2 and Spotify Connect, it communicates directly with a wide array of supported apps.
Features and Specifications
Juke Audio amps come in two configurations: a six-zone model ($1,349) and an eight-zone model ($1,499), with the only difference being the number of active channels. Both models have identical hardware and the limitation is due to a software restriction.
Upgrading from six to eight zones costs $325. The 15x8x3-inch (WxDxH), 6-pound chassis features a minimalist "black box" design with a large logo on the front. The Juke supports up to four concurrent stereo inputs, with its Class D amplification offering up to 95% efficiency. Its high efficiency ensures cool operation without ventilation slots, grills, or fans.
Compatible with impedances as low as 2 ohms, the device can connect multiple 8-ohm speakers-up to three per channel-in parallel. Each channel provides 20 watts RMS power output. While not intended for concert-level sound or reference systems, an eight channel Juke can accommodate up to 48 speakers. Up to ten Jukes can work together within a system, supporting a total of 480 speakers.

The Big Clean
Chances are you probably do not think about the state of your electronic devices too often. Oh, you might think about all the upgrades you would like to make; where you would put those new tower speakers, or how a second or third subwoofer would really tame those bass modes in your room, or how much more cinematic a larger screen would be. Sure, you think about that part of your system. But how often do you think about the well-being of your system?

Bridging the Analog-Digital Gap on a Recliner
When I shopped for a motorized recliner, I rejected models with their own Internet Protocol address and built-in speakers. No need. I had already placed a smart speaker on an étagère beside the space where I had planned to put the chair. I'd have a smartphone in my hand and the room would be bathed in Wi-Fi.
