An audio distribution system is provided for communicating audio signals between one or more audio sources (6) and a plurality of remote speakers (46, 48). The system includes at least one audio source (6) for generating an audio signal, and a plurality of amplified volume controls (20), each disposable remote from the audio source (6). The volume controls (20) are operative to receive and amplify the audio signal to power associated speakers (46, 48). A power supply (16) is disposable remote from one or more of the volume controls (20), for generating a power supply to power all volume controls (20). An audio/power distribution network (14) is connectable to the audio source (6), power supply (16) and volume controls (20), for communicating the audio signal and power supply signal throughout the network. A plurality of audio/power distribution nodes are connected to the audio/power distribution network for interfacing the audio source (6), power supply (16) and volume controls (20) to the distribution network. The power supply (16) and audio source (6) may be connected to any of the distribution nodes to provide audio signal and power to each of the volume controls (20).
