There's already a kudoz for this, by Peter Cox almost exactly a year ago. He got no answers (http://www.proz.com/kudoz/917710).
I have about as much context as Peter had. "Sistemi amplidiffusione."

Hi Ryan,
I searched for sistemi ampli-whatever and found this
http://www.google.it/search?q=Sistemi amplidiffusione&source...
Impianto di amplidiffusione con microfoni fissi Lavagne a fogli mobili
Servizi tecnici impianto di amplificazione diffusione di messaggi sonori proiettori diapositive lavagne luminose schermi per proiezioni videoregistratori VHS
http://www.godado.it/godado.pperl/page=EfJk/mp=A1/k=0aEf03Ef...
That sounds to me like a Public Address or PA system,
Check this search for: Public Address systems microphones overhead projectors
http://www.google.it/search?hs=VSg&hl=it&client=firefox-a&rl...
So, I reckon amplidiffu-whatever are systems for the amplified diffusion of sound – Public Address (PA) systems, used in conference halls, airports, places like that.

I'd say. Pretty creative word, I've never heard it before but that's the image my Italian brain gets from it ;-)
As Pamela indicated to Peter Cox, it's made up of amplification (ampli-) and broadcasting (diffusione).
