Abstract
An audio output device (101) is configured to transmit an audio signal to an external power amplifier (107). The transmission of the audio signal can be accomplished by means of a wireless transmitter (401) or standard audio cable (103). The power amplifier (107), a low voltage power supply (111), and in certain embodiments a wireless receiver (109) are commonly housed in a weatherproof enclosure. In one embodiment of the invention, the amplified audio signal and low voltage power provided by the low voltage power supply (111) are transmitted by means of a common cable to a lighting and sound unit (115).
