INTRODUCTION
DESCRIPTION
Thank you for choosing the Russound ST2 Smart
Tuner. Whether you are adding radio to an existing system, expanding a CAi Series system or
taking advantage of the CAV6.6’s robust RNET™
communication link, the ST2 Tuner is designed to
meet your needs.
The ST2 Tuner is like having two radios in one.
The two AM/FM tuner modules share one set of
controls and display on the front of the unit, but
each runs independently. This arrangement
allows two different broadcasts at the same time
in a multi-room audio distribution system.
In addition to the traditional AM/FM broadcast
tuner function, the ST2 Tuner can store up to 72
favorites, or memory presets. These are stored
in groups of six called banks. There are six
banks for each tuner. Each preset and each bank
can be given a custom name of your choice.
The ST2 Tuner can be controlled from the front
panel or by the dedicated ST2-KP tuner keypad.
It can also be controlled by the ST2-RC IR remote
aimed at the tuner’s front panel IR receiver. The
ST2-RC IR codes can be learned into any IR
learning remote control for easy system integration. It can also be controlled by IR signals
received through the IR connections on the rear
panel from IR repeating system commonly used
in distributed audio systems.
If the ST2 Tuner is part of an RNET-enabled system such as the CA
V6.6-S2 system, the tuner
can be controlled through an UNO-S2 keypad.
The ST2 Tuner also has an RS-232 port to support fully bi-directional integration into wholehouse control systems such as Crestron

FEATURES
• Dual AM/FM Tuners
• Compact single rack unit chassis
(Rack mount ears included)
• Six banks of six memory presets each per
tuner for storing AM/FM station settings
(72 total presets)
• Two Favorite presets per tuner with ST2-RC
• Stereo or mono mode
• Local or distant mode
• Dedicated IR remote control
• Individual IR direct inputs for each tuner
• Front panel IR receiver
• Supports optional ST2-KP tuner keypads
• RNET connections send tuner frequency and
control information to UNO keypad display
• RS-232 control and programming. User
settings can be backed up and restored.
INSTALLATION APPLICATIONS
RNET-enabled System
When the ST2 Tuner is used with an RNETenabled device such as the CAV6.6 and is connected to it through the Link In or Link Out port,
the tuner will be controlled by the CAV6.6
through the UNO-S2 keypad. Through RNET,
tuner information such as Tuner 1 or 2, station
frequency, preset names and AM/FM band is displayed on UNO-S2 keypads. An additional RNET
device can be connected to an existing ST2 by
using the Link Out of the first unit into the Link In
of the second unit.
Before using the ST2 tuner with the
V6.6, you must assign sour
CA
ce numbers
to Tuner 1 and 2 in the ST2 Setup Menu
AND complete the CAV6.6’s Source Setup
ocedure to identify the tuner as a
pr
“Peripheral“ device and assign Sour
ce
Numbers. The CAV6.6 requires firmware
version 2.00.01 or higher to control each
tuner thr
ough RNET
.
INTRODUCTION
IR-controlled System
CAi Series -
The ST2 Tuner can be controlled by infrared
commands received through the two IR connections on the rear panel. The ST2 contains two
individual tuners, which makes it act as two
sources in the CAi system. There are two source
audio outputs and two IR connections - one for
each tuner in the ST2. You will need at least one
IR link cable (Russound P/N 09-0508) for these
connections (one is supplied with each CAi system). There are two unique IR code sets for
Tuner 1 and Tuner 2, which allow each to be controlled independently from either IR connection.
These codes can be learned from the ST2-RC
remote control into the CA-LRC1 remote control
and/or the DSC and DAN IR learning keypads. If
you are using an IR-controlled system from another manufacturer, installation should be similar.
The ST2 IR codes may be learned into many
other manufacturers’ remote controls that have
learning capability for unified control over the A/V
equipment.
A-BUS® System -
The ST2 Tuner can be used in an A-BUS system
with an audio distribution hub such as the
A-H484 and IR-repeating keypads such as the
A-KP2. The connections on the rear panel are
designed to receive IR signals from a repeating
system commonly used in A-BUS distributed
audio systems.
RS-232 Controlled System
The ST2 Tuner can be controlled using the RNET
protocol provided via the RS-232 port on the
rear panel. It can also be controlled by any
RS-232-enabled control system (e.g., Crestron,
AMX). Information on RS-232 operation is available to dealers on the Russound web site,
www.russound.com.
BOX CONTENTS
The ST2 Tuner comes with the parts needed to
setup and operate the component. These
include:
• ST2 Tuner (two AM/FM modules)
• ST2-RC remote control
• 12VDC power supply
• AM loop antenna (2)
• FM antenna (2)
• RCA audio cable (2)
• Rack mount ears
If any of these parts are missing, please call
Russound at 800-638-8055 ext. 501 for
assistance.
For A-BUS applications, as with the CAi series
installation, the two tuners in the ST2 unit must
be set up as two sources, with two source audio
inputs and two IR connections. Y

code sets can be learned from the ST2-RC

Power
ST2-KP RJ-45 Connection Wiring
To power the tuner, connect the 12VDC external
power supply by inserting the power supply jack
into the power supply connection on the tuner’s
rear panel.
Audio Output
Connect one end of a dual RCA audio cable to
the Tuner 1 Audio Output connection. Keep proper channel identity. Attach the other end of the
RCA cables to the source input of the audio control system. Repeat the same procedure for the
Tuner 2 Audio Output.
IR Connections
The ST2 Tuner can be controlled by infrared
commands received through the two IR connections on the rear panel. The ST2 Tuner component contains two tuners, which must be set up
as two sources. There are two IR connections one for each tuner in the ST2. You will need two
IR link cables (Russound P/N 09-0508) for these
connections. There is a unique IR code set each
for Tuner 1 and Tuner 2, which allow each to be
controlled independently. These codes can be
learned from the ST2-RC remote into learningcapable remotes and keypads. If you are using
an IR-controlled system from another manufacturer, installation should be similar. The ST2 IR

BASIC CONNECTIONS
ST2-KP Keypad to ST2 Connection
(Non-RNET System)
The ST2-KP connects to the ST2 tuner with
CAT-5 cable, using an RJ-45 (T568A) jack on the
tuner connection end of the cable. Be sure to
use the keypad ports for the ST2-KP and NOT
the RNET link ports. The ST2 tuner provides
connections for up to two ST2-KP keypads. An
SA-ZX3 Keypad Splitter can be used to add additional keypads.
Note: ST2-KP keypads are designed for use
with IR-controlled systems (non-RNET systems).
When the ST2 Tuner is a component of an RNET
system such as CAV6.6, the RNET-system UNOS2 keypads are used
