A distribution system comprises an audio server () for receiving incoming audio from remote clients () and for transmitting audio derived from the incoming audio to the remote clients (). An audio apparatus comprises an audio a receiver () which receives data comprising: audio data for a plurality of audio components representing audio from a remote client of the plurality of remote clients; and proximity data for at least one of the audio components.
