DANTE LEADER CLOCK

In EBU applications the typical nominal level will be 

–18 dBFS. Some applications may benefit from a sine 

wave test tone that’s 12 dB less than the reference 

level. This would equate to configuring an output to 

–34 dBFS (SMPTE) or –32 dBFS (EBU). These would 

typically be associated with a 1000 Hz tone.
The default tone levels were selected in a pattern that 

could help identify a specific channel. Dante transmit-

ter (output) channel Tone 1 has a default level of –21 

dBFS with the value of 1 being selected to reflect the 

channel number. Each subsequent channel then re-

duces its level by 1 dB. So, for example, the second 

channel, Tone 2, has a level of –22 dBFS. While these 

level steps may not be readily discernible to human 

ears most test equipment or metering could easily be 

used to identify specific channels.

Submit: 

A Submit button is located at the bottom of 

the Level (dBFS) column on the Tone Generator menu 

webpage. To save any changes made to the level or 

frequency fields requires that the Submit button be 

pressed. Changes will be made immediately after 

pressing the Submit button.
