INTRODUCTION
DESCRIPTION
Thank you for choosing the Russound ST2-XM2
Dual Smart Tuner. Whether you are adding satellite radio to an existing system, expanding a CAi
Series system or taking advantage of the
CAV6.6’s robust RNET
®
communication link, the
ST2-XM2 Tuner is designed to meet your needs.
The ST2-XM2 Tuner doubles your satellite radio
listening enjoyment with two XM radio modules in
one unit. The XM tuner delivers all the diversity
and choices available to XM radio subscribers.
The two 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 multisource, multi-room audio distribution system.
XM satellite radio provides over 100 channels of
music, news sports, comedy, talk and entertainment. Its coast-to-coast coverage, digital quality
sound and many commercial-free music channels
make XM radio the choice for the discriminating
listener.
XM radio is a subscription-based service, and listeners can subscribe by visiting XM on the web
www.xmradio.com
or by calling XM’s Listener
Care at 800-967-2346.
In addition to XM satellite access, the ST2-XM2
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-XM2 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-XM2 Tuner is part of an RNET-enabled
system such as the CAV6.6-S2 or CAM6.6, the
tuner can be controlled through an RNET keypad
such as the UNO-S2.
The ST2-XM2 Tuner also has an RS-232 port to
support fully bi-directional integration into wholehouse control systems such as Crestron
®
and
AMX
®
.
FEATURES
• Two XM satellite radio modules
• Compact single rack unit chassis
• Six banks of six memory presets each per
tuner (72 total presets) for storing XM
channels
• Custom names for presets and banks
• Two Favorite presets per tuner
• Dedicated IR remote control
• Individual IR direct inputs for each tuner
• Front panel IR receiver
• Supports two ST2-KP optional tuner keypads
• RNET connections send tuner frequency and
control information to UNO keypad display
• RS-232 control and programming
INSTALLATION APPLICATIONS
RNET-enabled System
When the ST2-XM2 Tuner is used with an RNETenabled device such as the CAV6.6 or CAM6.6,
and is connected to it through the Link In or Link
Out port, the tuner will be controlled by the
CAV6.6 or CAM6.6 through the UNO keypad.
Through RNET, tuner information such as Tuner 1
or 2, channel, preset names and XM is displayed
on UNO 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.

INTRODUCTION
Before using the ST2-XM2 tuner with the
CAV6.6 or CAM6.6, you must assign source
numbers to Tuner 1 and 2 in the ST2 Setup
Menu AND complete the CAV6.6 and
CAM6.6’s Source Setup procedure to identify the tuner as a “Peripheral“ device and
assign Source Numbers. The CAV6.6
requires firmware version 2.00.01 or higher
to control each tuner through RNET. The
UNO-S2 keypad requires firmware version
3.00.01 or higher.
IR-controlled System
CAi Series -
The ST2-XM2 Tuner can be controlled by infrared
commands received through either of the two IR
connections on the rear panel. 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.
The ST2-XM2 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-XM2. You will need at least one IR link cable
(Russound P/N 09-0508) for these connections
(one is supplied with each CAi system).
If you are using an IR-controlled system from
another manufacturer, installation should be similar. The ST2-XM2 IR codes may be learned into
many other manufacturers’ remote controls that
have learning capability for unified control over
the A/V equipment.
Note: Optional ST2-KP keypads can be used to
provide control for the ST2-XM2 Tuner and are
designed to be used with IR-controlled systems.
RS-232 Controlled System
The ST2-XM2 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
.

ST2-XM2 SETUP AND CONNECTIONS
BASIC CONNECTIONS
Power
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 cable to the source input of the audio control system. Repeat the same procedure for the
Tuner 2 Audio Output.
IR Connections
The ST2-XM2 Tuner can be controlled by
infrared commands received through the two IR
connections on the rear panel. The ST2-XM2
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-XM2. 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 learning-capable remote
controls and keypads.
If you are using an IR-controlled system from
another manufacturer, installation should be
similar. The ST2-XM2 IR codes may be learned
into many other manufacturers’ remote controls
that have learning capability for unified control
over the A/V equipment.
RNET Connection
To link the ST2-XM2 to an RNET-compatible
device, use a CAT-5 passthrough patch cable
with similar wiring terminations at each end.
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 RNET-compatible device.
ST2-KP Keypad to ST2-XM2 Connection
(Non-RNET System)
The ST2-KP connects to the ST2-XM2 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-XM2 tuner supports 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-XM2 Tuner is a component of an
RNET system such as CAV6.6, the RNET-system
keypads are used.
Rack Mount Installation
The ST2-XM2 can be mounted in a standard
component rack using the rack ears provided.
Line the rack ear’s two rows of screw holes with
the three screw holes on the side of the tuner.
Use the screws provided to secure the rack
ears onto the unit on both sides. The ST2-XM2
tuner should not be installed above a high heatproducing component such as a power amplifier.

Source Connections with CAV6.6 Controller/Amplifier (RNET System)
The diagram depicts a typical setup using the ST2-XM2 Tuner with a CAV6.6 amplifier. Each tuner in
the ST2 unit must be connected as a separate source for audio inputs. UNO-S2 keypads are connected to the CAV6.6 keypad ports, NOT the ports on the ST2 Tuner.
