| Calibration / Verification of TMS Acoustic Calibration Products Verification microphones are not included in these calibration codes. Verification microphones are used to perform a system stability check, and are run at the start of each day when using the calibration system to verify system performance. Comparing verification microphone results over time will catch many issues with the system ranging from unexpected electronic issues to damaged hardware. If a verification microphone is suspected to be damaged or a calibration is still needed, select an appropriate code (typically MCS-9) above. | ||

| Sound Level Meters | Larson Davis offers an accredited calibration service of their meters, and can service their current product line. TMS does not offer calibration of sound meters at this time. | |
| Dosimeters | Similarly, Larson Davis offers accredited calibration of dosimeters, TMS does not. | |
| Hydrophones | Although TMS rents hydrophones that can be point checked with a pistonphone and appropriate adaptor, we do not offer calibration service for hydrophones at this time. Contact the manufacturer. | |
| Acoustic Sources | TMS rents acoustic sources and various Building Acoustics test equipment, but we do not calibrate internally. In general, Riverbank Acoustical Laboratories calibrates these products for us. | |
