Introduction
Thank you for purchasing your Russound product!
The ST1 Tuner is designed to complement the C-Series multiroom audio
systems’ built-in AM/FM tuner with identical features and functionality for
systems which require two independent tuners.
With sensitive tuning circuitry, the ST1 can pull in AM and FM terrestrial
broadcasts with clarity and excellent channel separation for pleasing sound
quality. A simple AM and FM antenna are included though based on the
particular location of the tuner, an outdoor antenna may be required.
The ST1 features 6 banks of user con gured station presets. Each bank has 6
presets so there are a total of 36 station presets that can be used to save user
favorite AM and FM stations.
The ST1 will automatically select the proper band (AM or FM) based on the
frequency entered from a C-Series remote control or user interface. It also can
be con gured by the installer to use standard North American or European
tuning which di er in the number of steps between each frequency and the
total frequency range.
The ST1 features RDS (Radio Data System) reception that will display
metadata the broadcasting station has encoded in the broadcast signal such
as station name, and song information. All of this is visible on Russound
C-Series system user interfaces which make this data available through the
RNET communication protocol for third party control systems.
