DANTE LEVEL 1-3 FINAL EVALUATION QUESTION WITH
ANSWERS GRADED A+ 2025/206
✔✔What is meant by a "stand alone" Dante network - ✔✔One that is not connected to
the internet or to other networks
✔✔If Dante Controller is quit while audio is flowing on a Dante network, what happens -
✔✔Nothing. Dante Controller is not required to be present for a Dante network to work
✔✔Do Dante devices require special IP configuration - ✔✔No, all commonly supported
IP address methods are supported
✔✔A gigabit connection can handle [____________] channels of Dante audio at 48kHz
sample rate and 24-bit depth. - ✔✔512x512
✔✔Multicast Flows should be used when you - ✔✔Wish to connect a transmitter to
multiple receiving devices, typically more than 3
✔✔Choose all that apply: A broadcast network connection is - ✔✔1. One to everyone.
2. Not used by Dante for audio.
✔✔What does Dante redundancy do - ✔✔Feature that allows glitch-free flow of audio
through a Secondary network when the Primary network fails for any reason
✔✔Dante Virtual Soundcard [__________] act as the clock master for the network. -
✔✔cannot
✔✔How can actual latency performance be seen - ✔✔Using the Latency monitor in
Dante Controller.
✔✔Dante Controller has primary and secondary network connection options - ✔✔True
✔✔How is a Dante clock master selected - ✔✔By election
✔✔A multicast network connection is: - ✔✔1.One to many.
2. Useful for solving "Fan out" conditions.
✔✔How can a Dante device be configured to act as a plug-and-play replacement for
another - ✔✔By using identical names for both devices
✔✔Dante Via and Dante Virtual Soundcard [_______________] be used at the same
time on the same computer. - ✔✔cannot
, ✔✔How do switch hops affect Dante latency - ✔✔More switch hops -> greater minimum
latency. Settings above minimum are unaffected
✔✔When would you select the "Enable Sync to External" box for devices on the DC
Clock Status tab - ✔✔When a device is either a) connected to an external word clock,
or b) when using the internal clock of a device to drive a Dante option card
✔✔How does Dante Virtual Soundcard work with DAWs - ✔✔By providing a standard
Core Audio, ASIO or WDM audio interface that behaves like a regular soundcard.
✔✔Select all that apply: What is Dante Via - ✔✔1.Software that allows local audio I/O &
applications on your computer to access the Dante network
2.Software that provides it's own Dante system clock.
✔✔How does Dante Controller inform you that multicast is recommended - ✔✔With a
"Fan out' warning.
✔✔A unicast network connection is - ✔✔1. Communication that is only between specific
devices on a network
2. Default Dante behavior
✔✔Selecting a single Dante device to be the Preferred Master [______________] force
it to win the clock master election - ✔✔Will
✔✔How many channels does Dante Virtual Soundcard support - ✔✔Up to 64x64
✔✔Dante Multicast Flows are manually created on an as needed basis - ✔✔True
✔✔Dante [________________] use unicast as the default mode of transmission. -
✔✔does
✔✔[_____________________] Dante devices have a secondary network capability. -
✔✔Some
✔✔You [_______________] have multiple Preferred Masters in a Dante network. -
✔✔Can
✔✔When should IGMP snooping be considered for use on a Dante network? - ✔✔In
systems where some devices are intolerant of large amounts of multicast traffic.
✔✔Can the Secondary (redundant) port on a Dante device be connected to the Primary
network to increase channel count? - ✔✔No. This will cause the network to fail.
