Local Sales & Support
Noise Measurement Services are located in Brisbane and service Australia for sales and hire of Larson Davis equipment. We have extensive experience in the field of acoustics, and are here to help you select the best equipment for your job.
Complimentary Noise Training
We provide a complimentary Continuing Professional Development module with all instrument purchases. The module is provided by Acoustar, a Registered Training Organisation that specialises in noise training. The module awards 10 CPD points to the participant. Additional CPD and formal noise training is also available.
Complimentary Tech Support
The team at NMS have been using Larson Davis equipment for over a decade, and are always at the end of the line if you need help with your instrument. We can also provide remote assistance via Teamviewer.
Zero Down Time
We understand that 'time is money' and having your instrument out of action for months during repair or calibration is not acceptible. For instruments purchased at NMS, we will provide rental equipment for the duration of your repair or calibration with the rental fees capped at 10 days. (Subject to rental equipment availability).
Trade-in Deals
Larson Davis offer several trade-in and upgrade deals which we are more than happy to honour. We will even go a step further and offer up to 10% off the price of your new instrument when you trade-in virtually comparable product; any brand, working or not!
Local Repair & Calibration
We are authorised repairers of Larson Davis equipment and can perform many repairs in Australia without having to send your equipment overseas. All repairs are undertaken by an experienced technician using genuine parts. We can also arrange NATA calibration for your instruments at a Brisbane calibration laboratory.
