Ztuner v.2 by Parasound

The third time is certainly a charm for Parasound. The Ztuner v.2 is their third-generation half-rack width tuner. This time, the high-quality FM/AM tuner includes software modules to tie in your Crestron of AMX-based home control system.

The Ztuner v.2 now features discrete infrared commands, which makes it easy to perform a variety of functions, including FM/AM band selection, tuning, and more. It also has an improved RS-232 interface. It also boasts 80dB channel selectivity, 50dB separation, a signal-to-noise ratio over 74dB, and IHF sensitivities of 11dBf for mono and 37.2 dBf for stereo.

Set anywhere from 1 to 20 of your favorite radio stations and access them with the included remote handset, which also controls Parasound's Zpre2 two-channel A/V preamplifier.
