    Jeff, for analog audio at that distance, I agree with others that 
the 111C is the answer. If you want Ethernet, I use these boxes on campus;

All these require is a single copper pair. The different models can go
different speeds depending on the wire size and distance.
The 2172 can operate asymmetrically, for a higher data rate in one 
direction.

Patton Models # 2158 and 2168 are what I have in service.
I'm looking at replacing one of those feeds with a 2172,
which feeds a building where I have my backup drives.
At my campus, I have plenty of copper, but a huge lack of fiber

I would then talk with Axia, and I think by holding back
on the number of audio channels, you go on a 10-50 mbs Ethernet with 
their boxes. .
