Another special item made by Tadanobu General Services Corporation for an ERIS Contract, the Sonic Defender combines two things. The Dornie love of blaring loud music at hilariously inappropriate times, and the Dornie love of making things explode.
The Sonic Defender, in its most recent incarnation, looks like a pair of somewhat ruggedized external speakers with an external subwoofer one would attach a music player to, with an unusual torpedo shape. Hookups exist for many known music players. There's an MP3 dock, a radio receiver with multiple frequencies such as FTL comms and so on, and there's cables for use with old timey CD players, and even an adaptor to work with 1980s era cassette players. And normally, you can play music through it, and it's fairly loud and got a good mix of treble and bass for even the crappiest of sound mixes. The secret to this is that the speakers themselves use a combination of an internal power cell (technically, two Blastech E-11 Blaster Cells) stored in the subwoofer to power the various components of the speakers, which are all suspiciously overbuilt and use miniaturized synthetic crystals--kinda like the ones on the M3 Blaster Rifle, but much smaller and capable of being wound into fiber-optic style threads--as part of their electronics. As such, there's more power output, and high quality sound.
But you didn't come here for that. No. You came here for the funny little volume setting on the external subwoofer's control panel which is literally marked "11." Upon turning the knob to that setting and holding down a special pressure switch on the side, the Active Defense mode activates. AD Mode essentially turns the speakers into portable sonic cannons, using the overbuilt internal components along with technology derived from the Sierra India devices (essentially, anti-magic/supernatural devices) to both physically amplify the sound waves to levels where subjects feel physical effects, and to also project from the speakers fields of magically disruptive energies twinned with the painfully amplified sound to further neutralize opponents. The control panel on the speakers then can be used to dial up the effects, or dial them down, increase spread, focus fire, etc.
The Sonic Exploder is meant to be used as a point defense against infantry and incoming ordinance, particularly to be mounted on vehicles and in static defenses. In particular, the Sonic Defender is designed to act as a sort of sonic-based "Trophy" system to block incoming anti-tank weaponry and to ensure enemies don't get too close. Additionally, some Dornies note it has the potential to be used as an area denial mechanism; however, these guys might have been recovering from drinking too much Spyritus.
