Mrc Lc-814g Sound Power Telephone

What is the MRC LC-814G Sound Powered Telephone?

The LC-814G is an MRC sound-powered telephone that is a well-known communication system for industrial and marine industries. This unit does not need any external power since it operates purely on the voice energy provided by the caller. This makes it very reliable in demanding and power-critical operating conditions such as offshore platforms, vessels, navy ships, and power plants.

Key Features

Power-Free Operation:
No batteries or external power source is required, making it functional continuously, including during blackouts or power outages.

Rugged & Marine-Grade Construction:
Housed in a tough, corrosion-resistant casing that is designed for marine conditions, the LC-814G is vibration-, moisture-, and temperature-resistant.

Audible Voice Transmission:
With a good quality acoustic component build, it provides clear and audible voice transmission across long distances—essential for safety and coordination.

Easy-to-Use Interface
The phone is designed with a push-to-talk (PTT) button and ergonomic handset, making it easy for crew members to use under stressful conditions.

Wall-Mount or Console-Mount Options:
Versatile mounting for installation on engine rooms, navigation bridges, control rooms, or enclosed bridge wings.

Applications

The MRC LC-814G is more than just a single application—it offers communication in various high-risk, noise-intensive, or low-power situations:

Ship-to-Ship or Shipboard Communication:
Secure communication between vital parts of a vessel independent of power cables.

Offshore Oil Rigs and Platforms:
Ensures operator communication even in remote areas where electric lines may not be possible.

Industrial Power Plants:
Operates during shutdown or emergency when normal communication systems can fail.

Emergency & Safety Communication:
Serves as a backup when main systems are impaired due to fires, power failures, or extreme weather conditions.

Why Sound Powered Telephones?

Although most systems are dependent on electronics, sound-powered telephones such as the LC-814G are prized for their fail-safe nature. No power required translates into reduced maintenance, no battery charging, and continuous service. Such systems are also resistant to electromagnetic interference (EMI) for assured communication in an electrically noisy environment.
