I'm using a pair of audio baluns from this maker http://www.intelix.com/products/balun_audio.htm to get zone audio from my home theater into my kitchen. The balanced signal is carried over Cat5 cable and can be up to a couple thousand feet long. (It's a couple hundred feet long in my installation, with no noticeable degradation in sound.) Just be sure to get baluns that are specified to handle the full 20Hz to 20KHz audio bandwidth. (Some audio baluns on the market are less than full range.) And be aware that any Cat5 cable carrying these signals CANNOT also be used to carry ethernet data, nor can it pass through any ethernet data switches, hubs, etc. The Cat5 cable must be dedicated to the analog audio signals.
