DANTE LEVEL 1 COMPREHENSIVE EXAM UPDATED STUDY
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS GRADED A+
✔✔The easiest way to get IP addresses for a functional stand-alone Dante network is
for all devices and computers to - ✔✔Use the "obtain an IP Address Automatically"
setting
✔✔If a network is only used for Dante and has only one network switch, then - ✔✔The
network does not require a managed switch
✔✔Does Dante require special network cabling? - ✔✔Regular CAT5E or CAT6 Ethernet
cable is recommended

remembered by devices.
✔✔The default Dante latency of 1 millisecond is - ✔✔very low and suitable for the
majority of applications
✔✔What are the steps to delete a subscription in Dante Controller? (drag to put steps in
the correct order) - ✔✔1. Open both transmitter and receiver to expose channels
2. Click green checkmark at intersection of channels you wish to unsubscribe
3. Wait for green checkmark to disappear
, ✔✔Audio sent over a Dante network is - ✔✔uncompressed, bit-perfect
✔✔Dante is an example of [_____________________________]. - ✔✔an audio over IP
(AoIP) solution
✔✔What are the steps to create a subscription in Dante Controller? (drag to put steps in
the correct order) - ✔✔1. Open the transmitter and receiver to expose channels of each
2. Click at the intersection of the two channels you wish to connect
3. Wait for green check mark to appear
✔✔What is a LAN - ✔✔A computer network that interconnects computers using a
common range of IP addresses
✔✔Dante [________________] use fiber instead of copper cable for Ethernet. - ✔✔Can
✔✔Approximately how much bandwidth is consumed by 64 channels of audio @
48kHz/24 bit-depth, excluding network overhead? - ✔✔74mbits/sec
✔✔Dante devices with different sample rates can be on the same network and
[__________________] subscribe channels between them. - ✔✔cannot
✔✔The sample rate of an audio system dictates - ✔✔The highest audio frequency that
the system can handle
✔✔A connection between Dante audio channels is called - ✔✔A subscription
✔✔What sample rates are supported by Dante - ✔✔Dante supports most common
sample rates, from 44.1kHz up to 192kHz
✔✔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
