2. Do Not Touch The ST2 With Wet Hands – Do not handle the ST2 or power cord when your hands are wet or damp. If water or any other liq­uid enters the ST2 cabinet, unplug the unit from power immediately and take the ST2 to a qualified service person for inspection.
3. Location of ST2 – Place the ST2 in a well-ventilated location. Take spe­cial care to provide plenty of ventilation on all sides of the ST2 especial­ly when it is placed in an audio rack. If ventilation is blocked, the ST2 may overheat and malfunction. Do not expose the ST2 to direct sun light or heating units as the ST2 internal components temperature may rise and shorten the life of the components. Avoid damp and dusty places.
4. Care – From time to time you should wipe off the front and side panels of the cabinet with a soft cloth. Do not use rough material, thinners, alcohol or other chemical solvents or cloths since this may damage the finish or remove the panel lettering.

INTRODUCTION
DESCRIPTION
Thank you for choosing the Russound ST2 Smart Tuner. Whether you are upgrading a legacy radio, expanding a CAi Series system, or taking advan­tage of the CAV6.6’s robust RNET™ communica­tion link, the ST2 Tuner is as simple or as com­plex as your needs.
The ST2 Tuner is like having two radios in one. The two AM/FM tuners 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 multi­room 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-RC IR remote aimed at the front panel IR receiver. If used with CA series or RNET systems, the IR codes can be transferred into those system’s remotes as well. 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 CAV6.6-S2 system, the tuner can be controlled through the UNO™-S2 keypad.
The ST2 Tuner also has an RS-232 port to sup­port integration into whole-house control systems such as Crestron
®
and AMX
®
.

INSTALLATION APPLICATIONS
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 tuner component contains two tuners, which must be set up as two sources. There will be two source audio inputs and 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 are two unique IR code sets for Tuner 1 and Tuner 2, which allow each to be con­trolled independently. These codes can be learned from the ST2-RC remote into the CA­LRC1 remote or into the DSC and DAN 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.

INTRODUCTION
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.
As with the CAi series installation, for A-BUS the two tuners in the ST2 unit must be set up as two sources, with two source audio inputs and two IR connections. You will need two IR link cables for these connections.
The two IR code sets can be learned from the ST2-RC remote into the A-LRC1 remote.
RNET-enabled System
- When the ST2 Tuner is used with an RNET-enabled device such as the CAV6.6 and connected to it through the Link In/Link Out ports, 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 ST2 Tuner can be connected to an existing ST2 by using the Link Out of the first unit into the Link In of the second unit.
RS-232
- The tuner is controlled via a PC or other device that will communicate with the tuner bi-directionally using the RNET protocol by the RS-232 connection. Information on RS-232 oper­ation is available to dealers on the Russound web site, www.russound.com
.
Rack-Mount
- The ST2 Tuner is a single rack-unit high and comes with a set of rack ears for rack installation if desired.
BOX CONTENTS
The ST2 Tuner comes with the parts needed to setup and operate the component. These include:
• ST2 Tuner
• ST2-RC remote control
• 12VDC power supply

Power
To power the tuner, connect the 12VDC external power supply to the unit by inserting the power supply jack into the power supply connection on the back panel.
The ST2 Tuner power commands are global. The ST2 component is powered on and off by toggling the power switch on the front of the tuner. The unit must be powered on before receiving commands from a keypad or remote control. When either Tuner 1 or Tuner 2 is pow­ered off by the ST2-RC remote, the UNO-S2 key­pad or the UNO-LRC1 remote, the command powers down both Tuner 1 and Tuner 2. However, the entire unit remains in standby until the power switch is toggled to OFF.
Any key press will wake up the tuners from standby. This is a key press from the tuner front panel, ST2-RC remote, UNO-S2 keypad or UNO­LRC1 remote. When the ST2 tuner is powered back on, it will return to the last tuner, bank, fre­quency and other settings that were in use when the tuner was powered down.
AM Antenna
Connect the included loop antenna for AM recep­tion to the back panel, attaching the GND (ground) and AM ends to the appropriate con­nections for Tuner 1. Repeat procedure for the Tuner 2 AM antenna.
It is recommended to use an external outdoor or attic-mounted long wire antenna for best per­formance for AM reception. Use a 300-ohm to 75-ohm balun at the AM connection on the tuner, and attach the 75-ohm coax cable to the balun.
FM Antenna
Attach the included FM antenna to the Tuner 1 FM COAX connection on the back panel by push­ing the F-type quick-connect termination of the antenna onto the FM connection. Repeat the same procedure for the Tuner 2 FM antenna. A 75-ohm splitter may be used to connect both tuners to one antenna.
It is recommended to use an external outdoor or attic-mounted long wire antenna for best per­formance for FM reception. Attach the desired length of 75-ohm coax cable directly to the FM connection on the tuner.
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 dis­tribution system. Repeat the same procedure for the Tuner 2 Audio Output.
RNET Connection
Using a CAT-5 patch cable with T568A wiring standard RJ-45 terminations, connect one end of the cable to the RNET Link In of the ST2 tuner, and connect the other end of the patch cable to the RNET Link Out connection on the CAV6.6 or other RNET-compatible device.
