LARSON DAVIS INCORPORATED 
 
 
THIS COMPREHENSIVE SUPPLEMENT IS A PART OF AND SHOULD BE READ IN 
CONJUNCTION WITH THE PROSPECTUS OF LARSON DAVIS INCORPORATED 
(THE "COMPANY") DATED AUGUST 1, 1995 (THE "PROSPECTUS"). 
 
This comprehensive supplement incorporates and supersedes the 
previous supplements to the Prospectus dated August 16, September 1, 
September 8, September 20, and September 22, 1995.  Capitalized
terms used but not defined herein have the same meaning as set
forth in the Prospectus. 
 
Agreement in Principle 
 
The Company has entered into an Agreement in Principle to acquire 
technology held by Sensar Corporation, a privately-held Utah 
corporation ("Sensar"), in exchange for the issuance of restricted 
Common Stock, the payment of cash to redeem certain shares of 
Sensar, and the assumption or payment of the liabilities of 
Sensar. 
 
Sensar holds rights to patented proprietary technology with respect 
to a time of flight mass spectrometer designed to detect smaller 
quantities of impurities in gas vapors than is possible with 
competing instruments with a much quicker analysis time.  Sensar 
has a great deal of expertise in mass spectrometry, which is used 
for chemical analysis, separation, isotope identification, and 
impurity detection.  Sensar has sold a very limited number of its 
newly-developed analyzer.  It is currently being used by Micron 
and Atmel in connection with the fabrication of semiconductors, 
and it is anticipated that future sales of this product will also 
be in the semiconductor industry.  Sensar also has conducted 
research and development with respect to instrumentation with 
applications outside the semiconductor industry, although these 
technologies have not yet been reduced to marketable products.

The technology was developed by Dr. Milton Lee at Brigham Young 
University ("BYU").  BYU holds the patent on the mass spectrometry 
technology exclusively licensed to Sensar as well as several 
related technologies.  The transaction with Sensar is conditioned 
on the Company obtaining license rights to certain related 
technologies from BYU. 
 
Under the terms of the proposed transaction, the Company will 
provide $260,000 and assume the line of credit of Sensar in the 
amount of approximately $550,000 in order to redeem 1,900,000 shares 
of currently outstanding Sensar stock.  The Company will issue 
shares of restricted Common Stock with respect to the remaining 
4,549,142 shares, based on a negotiated price of $0.70 per share 
of Sensar stock and the trading price of the Company's Common Stock 
as of the closing.  If the transaction were completed at $6.125, 
the closing price of the Company's Common Stock as of September 21, 
1995, the Company would issue 519,902 shares of Common Stock.  In 
addition, the Company will assume approximately $500,000 in 
current liabilities of Sensar. 
 
The Company will enter into employment agreements with Dr. Milton 
Lee and Dr. Edgar Lee in connection with the closing.  In addition, 
the Company will make employment offers to two additional employees 
of Sensar. 
 
Dr. Milton L. Lee is a founder and chairman of the board of Sensar. 
He is the H. Tracy Hall Professor of Chemistry at Brigham Young 
University, where he has taught since 1976.  Dr. Lee founded and 
is the editor of the Journal of MicroColumn Separations and serves 
on the editorial advisory boards of Chromatographia, Journal of 
Supercritical Fluids, and Polycyclic Aromatic Compounds.  Dr. Lee 
is the co-author of two books and over 330 scientific publications. 
Dr. Lee has received numerous awards for his contributions in 
chemical analysis and is listed as the inventor on nine patents. 
 
Dr. Lee is a member of the American Chemical Society, Sigma Xi, and 
the Scientific Organizing Committee of the International Symposia 
on Capillary Chromatography.  He received his B.A. in Chemistry 
from the University of Utah in 1971, and his Ph.D. in Analytical 
Chemistry from Indiana University in 1975. 
 


<PAGE> 
 
Dr. Edgar D. Lee is a founder and vice-president of research of 
Sensar and serves as an adjunct researcher at Brigham Young 
University.  Dr. Lee has extensive experience in a number of areas 
of mass spectrometry and has co-authored 21 published articles and 
45 technical papers in this field.  Dr. Lee is also the co-holder 
of three patents in his areas of expertise.  Prior to founding 
Sensar in 1990, Dr. Lee was employed at Midwest Research Institute 
from December 1988 through August 1990, first as a mass 
spectrometrist and later as a senior mass spectrometrist.  While 
at Midwest Research Institute, Dr. Lee was responsible for research, 
development, and implementation of state-of-the-art mass 
spectrometric techniques at its Center for Advanced Instrumentation. 
 
Dr. Lee is a member of the American Chemical Society and the American 
Society for Mass Spectrometry.  He pursued undergraduate chemistry 
studies at Utah State University and was awarded a B.A. in Chemistry 
in 1984 from Brigham Young University.  Dr. Lee received a Ph.D. in 
Analytical Toxicology, with emphasis in Analytical Chemistry and 
Instrumentation Engineering, in 1988 from Cornell University. 
 
The closing of the transaction is subject to the completion of a 
due diligence review of Sensar, the negotiation and execution of 
definitive agreements, and the negotiation of licensing agreements 
from BYU with respect to related technology.  There can be no 
assurance at this time that the transaction contemplated by the 
Agreement in Principle will be consummated. 
 
License Agreement 
 
The Company has executed a definitive agreement with Harris Miller 
Miller & Hanson, Inc. ("HMMH"), pursuant to the agreement in 
principle described in the Prospectus.  Under the terms of the 
agreement the Company has granted an exclusive license to HMMH to 
use the Company's ANOMS software in the airport noise and 
operations monitoring industry.  HMMH has also assumed the 
management and implementation of the Company's current airport 
noise monitoring contracts and pending bid proposals. 
 
HMMH paid a one-time royalty fee to the Company of $125,000 on 
closing, will pay a license fee of $12,500 per month, or an 
aggregate of $150,000 per year, to the Company, and will pay a 
royalty of 2.5% to 4% of the total revenues generated by HMMH from 
the airport noise and operations monitoring business.  HMMH will 
bid and pursue future airport noise monitoring contracts and has 
agreed to use its best efforts to specify use of the Company's 
hardware in future contracts.  The Company has agreed to provide 
such hardware at a 25% discount from its standard pricing. 


<PAGE> 
 
In conjunction with this agreement, the Company will assign to HMMH 
a contract recently awarded to the Company by the City of Chicago 
for monitoring systems to be installed at O'Hara and Midway 
airports, subject to approval by the City of Chicago.  It is 
anticipated that the Company will provide a estimated $1,000,000 
to $1,200,000 of sound monitoring equipment and services in 
connection with the City of Chicago contract. 
 
The term of the agreement is for a period of ten years, although 
HMMH has the option to terminate (and relinquish its license rights) 
at any time after three years and the option to extend the term 
for an additional five years. 
 
Warrant Exercise 
 
The Company has received an aggregate of $1,250,000 from the 
exercise of all of the $2.50 Warrants and has issued the 500,000 
shares of Common Stock subject to such Warrants.  The Company 
agreed to grant the holders of the $2.50 Warrants additional 
warrants to acquire the same number of shares at $4.50 per share 
of Common Stock (the "$4.50 Warrants") in consideration of the 
early exercise of the $2.50 Warrants.  As disclosed in the 
Prospectus, the Company has agreed to pay 6% of the amount 
received, or $75,000, to Neil Sullivan and Michael Cunniff as a 
finder's fee.  The Company has also agreed to pay Messrs. Sullivan 
and Cunniff 3% of the amount it receives on the exercise of the 
$4.50 Warrants.  The holders of the $4.50 Warrants have demand 
registration rights similar to those of the $2.50 and $3.50 
Warrants and the Company is currently preparing a registration 
statement for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission 
with respect to the resale of the Common Stock to be issued on 
exercise of the $4.50 Warrants. 
 
Additional Warrants 
 
The Company has also entered into an agreement with the holders of 
the $3.50 and $4.50 Warrants (who are all Selling Shareholders) 
that if the $3.50 Warrants are exercised by October 1, 1995, and 
the $4.50 Warrants exercised by November 1, 1995, the Company will 
issue, pro rata in proportion to the number of $3.50 and $4.50 
Warrants exercised, additional warrants to acquire up to 500,000 
shares at $4.50 per share of Common Stock and 1,000,000 shares at 
$5.75 per share of Common Stock.  These warrants will be 
exercisable for a period of two years subsequent to their issuance 
and will contain demand registration rights substantially similar 
to the rights associated with the $2.50, $3.50, and $4.50 Warrants.
