Juke Box E1
Nettie Vitale
The Juke Audio multi-room streaming amplifier is an all-in-one product used for powering, controlling, and wirelessly streaming to multiple sets of speakers across an entire house or building. No need for a separate receiver, streamer, or multiple amplifiers. The juke is that is needed for built-in audio across every room.
One of Juke's core functions is the ability to receive streams wirelessly from everyday devices. You can send audio without range limitations over the Wi-Fi network from your favorite apps via Apple Airplay, Spotify Connect, or DLNA, in addition to the standard method of Bluetooth which Juke also supports.
Juke will work well with a wide range of architectural speakers (in-ceiling, in-wall, landscape) that are wired back to it. The speaker needs to be between 8 and 4 ohms (which nearly all are), and should have a wattage rating between 50 and 200 with the higher end of the range best suited for the Juke+.
Classified as a "architectural audio" system, the first step for installing Juke is to have speaker wiring run to a central location in the house in a discreet manner through the walls / ceiling to hide any visible wiring and create a built-in aesthetic. Once this completed, the next step is to connect Juke to the Wi-Fi network, at which point users can begin using their phone / tablets to control all aspects of the sound system wirelessly.
By connecting the Juke amplifier to the local network via Ethernet or Wi-Fi, you then allow all other devices on that network such as phones, tablets, computers to control the device wirelessly without range issues. There is a downloadable app in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, as well as the ability to control via a web application. See our app tab for full details on the wireless functionality offered.
At their heart, juke joints are more informal bars, where food and liquor are cheap, the hours are late, and the vibes are all about Black culture. The smell of cigarette smoke and fryer oil hang in the air and cling to weathered vinyl seats like raindrops on a window, evidence of years and years of clientele using the space. Here the sounds of Bobby Womack, B.B. King, or Chuck Berry play from a jukebox while a bartender pours liquor into a plastic cup or rocks glass with abandon. Speaking to a specific, rural, and Southern slice of Black American culture, the juke joint offers a world of escapism in a dark room.
In this famed collection of full-color photographs, Birney Imes reveals a previously unexplored and now nearly vanished domain, the Black juke joints of the Mississippi Delta. Imes's work transforms these common gathering places in Delta cultural life into something rich and strange.
Richard Ford, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Sportswriter and Independence Day, contributes a long, perceptive essay that probes the photographs for their aesthetic value and for what they reveal beyond their obvious documentary qualities.
Today, many of these places no longer exist. And yet these photographs continue to inspire songs, poetry, movie sets, and the interior designs of countless bars, restaurants, and live music venues striving for authenticity and that inimitable Delta Blues feeling.
The Music Education Initiative has partnered with the David and Barbara Pryor Center for Arkansas Oral and Visual History in the U of A's Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences to bring The Juke Joint Project: An Exhibit to the Pryor Center on the Downtown Fayetteville Square. The exhibit is open daily from 9 A.M. to to 9 P.M., and is free and open to the public.
The Music Education Initiative was honored to receive this life-size, walk-through replica of a Delta Blues juke joint from the Clinton Presidential Center. The exhibit was designed by Kaki Hockersmith, a highly respected and renowned interior designer from Little Rock, for the 2020 FUSION: Arts & Humanities Arkansas Event, The Mighty Mississippi: HeART and Soul of the Southern Delta. When the world wide pandemic shut down many venues, the exhibit, which was aptly named "BC's Blues Shack" after former president, Bill Clinton, had been seen by only a few people at that time. This unique situation created an opportunity for The Music Education Initiative to bring this cultural and educational experience to Northwest Arkansas and increase the community's exposure and access to the arts in exciting new ways!
The Juke Joint Project: An Exhibit will be used as an immersive replica of a traditional gathering and listening environment. Participants are surrounded by the atmosphere in which blues music originated, grew, and thrived, and will be inspired to further explore the rich history and roots of this most authentic of American musical art forms. Serving as a teaching and educational tool, the juke joint will utilize original programming created and offered by The Music Education Initiative. The intent is to bring historical preservation and understanding of Blues, Gospel, Jazz, and Folk music, and their importance and influence on music past, present, and future to our community. The exhibit will also be used as a meeting place, a podcast studio ("Tiny Desk" style), and a location for speakers, lectures, films, performances, and parties. In the future, a version of the Juke Joint may be used as a traveling exhibit to schools, performance halls, and other venues.
Three elements to a well designed pass play are space, match-ups and leverage. The Patriots Juke series contains all three of these elements. It is designed to create space for a quick slot receiver to work off the leverage of a slower linebacker. It has become a staple of the Patriots offense, and has yielded great results. In the season I cut up (2014), when the Patriots ran the Juke series, they went 34/42 (81%) for 304 yards (7.2 yard average).
The quarterback will throw the juke route if he can tell pre-snap that he can get a 1v1 with the middle linebacker (2-high). If not, (1-high) the quarterback will work a hitch-seam combo. (full cut-up of hoss y juke)
1 High: VS. 1 high, the defense will usually have 2 linebackers in the box which makes the juke route less favorable. The quarterback will instead work the hitch-seam combo reading the flat defender.
Cover 1 Man: Vs. cover 1 man, the QB picks his best vertical matchup and throws it. Since this play is specifically run when defenses are stuck in base personnel, Brady can usually find a matchup against a backer or safety.
Cover 0: Vs. Cover 0, the QB can tell the #3 receiver to tighten down and be a blocker. The QB then throws his best matchup. Nobody ran cover 0 in the season I cut up, but there is this 99 yard touchdown from 2011.
Peal: (2/2 11 yards) This is a good way to run the juke route from a different formation in order to play vs. different coverages, and limit tendencies. The patriots only ran this in the superbowl against the Seahawks, so this must be gameplan specific, designed to attack how the Seahawks play against 31. Against 2 high, the post/wheel combo clears front side which opens up space for the juke. Vs 1 high, the QB works his same backside hitch-seam combo.

This was by far the best bar we visited in Memphis. It's fun to walk around Beale Street at night but was surprisingly hard to get into a place to hear live blues. Most places weren't playing blues or they had long lines and expensive cover charges. Wild Bill's, on the other hand, was an amazing/authentic blues experience. Great juke joint! Ended up being our favorite night in the city.
What a cool place! The employees, musicians and patrons made us feel genuinely welcome the moment we arrived. The band and guest vocalists were killer (unlike what we witnessed at Beale street). You better get their burger and wings (damn good!) and the beer prices were dynamite. Do yourself a favor and check it out if you have never been. We can't wait to come back.
A bartender at another place told us to go to Wild Bill's and it did NOT disappoint. Thursday night has a little house band - and it was so friendly and fun. Get some wings, have a drink, hear some blues.
Forget the tourist trap of Beale St. If you want real blues, this is where its at. We stumbled in on a Sunday afternoon for their jam session and it is a memory we won't forget any time soon. Be warned, if you can play guitar, drums, sing or slap the tambourine, you will be up on stage playing with the locals. The atmosphere here was amazing and is somewhere i will definitely return to (the woman behind the bar made me promise). 10/10
Probably my best live music experience ever. Truly. It wasn't just the music (which was absolutely amazing), but the atmosphere, the crowd, the friendliness, just everything combined. I was hesitant when I pulled up. Its rough on the outside. I'm so glad I didn't let that stop me. Thanks to all of the other reviews for convincing me it was worth checking out.
