DANTE CERTIFICATION LEVEL 2 (2ND
EDITION) UPDATED ACTUAL EXAM
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWER S
Here are the Answer s to the Questions related to Dante audio
networking technology:
Question: The Dante clock leader election is an automatic
process. However, you can manually influence which device will win the election. What option would give a device the highest priority in the election process?The correct Answer is Preferred Leader checked.
Question: Suppose a Dante device has one channel and two
transmit flows. Can it connect to three different receiving devices?The correct Answer is Yes. Minimum recommended latency could be as low as 0.5 msec.
Question: Approximately how much bandwidth does a unicast
audio flow use? (4-ch, 24-bit, 48kHz, 1msec latency) The correct Answer is 6Mbps.
Question: Dante Controller can apply information in a Dante
preset to a device of a different model. For instance, if a 4-

channel 70V amplifier is replaced with an 8-channel model, it could save the IP settings, device name, as well as channel labels and subscriptions for the first four channels.The correct Answer is True.
Question: When recalling a Dante Preset, you can choose to
recall everything or limit the recall to specific features and/or specific devices.The correct Answer is True.
Question: What happens if multiple devices have the Preferred
Leader checkbox marked?The correct Answer is Both will be elevated in the clock election process, only one of those two will become the clock leader.
Question: When using redundant Dante networks, how do we
configure the switches?The correct Answer is The primary and secondary networks must remain in separate broadcast domains (could be a VLAN) and each network must use separate subnets.

Question: Suppose a Dante device that is chasing an external
clock (like word clock or video sync). What setting must be checked in Dante Controller?The correct Answer is In Dante Controller, make sure the "External Clock" checkbox is marked for this device.
Question: How many audio channels can be contained in a
Dante unicast flow?The correct Answer is 4.
Question: A unicast audio or video subscription: The correct Answer is is the default behavior for Dante devices.
Question: Since the beginning of Dante, multicast flows could
carry [ __ ] channels per flow. With newer firmware, some devices can allow up to [ __ ] channels per flow.The correct Answer is 8, 64.
Question: What protocol is used to synchronize Dante devices
across the network?The correct Answer is PTP (Precision Time Protocol).

Question: A unicast subscription is made between two Dante
devices. The default latency settings of the transmitter and receiver are 0.25msec and 0.5msec, respectively. What is the resulting latency of this stream?The correct Answer is 0.5msec (The latency is determined by the higher of the two settings).
Question: When a Dante preset is saved, where is the
information kept?The correct Answer is Dante Controller writes a text file (XML format) to the computer. This file can be shared to other users or archived for recall later. When the preset is recalled, Dante Controller systematically restores settings, one at a time.
Question: Which Dante software supports redundant
connections?The correct Answer is Dante Controller.
Question: If a Dante transmitter runs out of flows, what should
you do to enable all subscriptions to be made?The correct Answer is Flip stream(s) to multicast so it only takes one flow for multiple destinations.
