'''Sonic Security Systems''' are used extensively by the [[Luminoth]] to restrict entry to secure areas or protect valuable [[Upgrade|items]] or [[Suit Expansion|expansions]]. The most common type of Sonic Security System is the [[Echo Key Beam System]], though others exist throughout Luminoth strongholds on Aether.

The most common type of Sonic Security System is the [[Echo Key Beam System]], though others exist throughout Luminoth strongholds on Aether. [[Echo Visor|Sonic detection gear]] is needed to interact with these systems, and occasionally [[Annihilator Beam|equipment]] with sonic properties is required as well.<ref>{{cite|The Annihilator Beam has a high-powered sonic aspect when fired, which can be used to manipulate sonic-powered devices.|Samus's Notes|Metroid Prime 2: Echoes}}</ref> | ||
These systems are easily identified by the telltale sound given off by the emitters usually used in conjunction with these systems. | |||
==Properties== | ==Properties== | ||
Sonic security systems usually consist of two major components: Emitters, which can be targeted and disabled, and their target receivers. When [[Samus Aran|Samus]] equips her [[Echo Visor]], these emitters appear as orange targets firing pulses of sound waves, and the targets appear as black and white padlocks on the receiving end of those sonic pulses. | |||
These sonic security systems are used with a wide variety of Luminoth systems throughout Aether, though Samus is unable to interact with them without equipping sonic detection gear. | |||

Echo Key Beam Systems use [[Echo Key Beam Emitter]]s and [[Echo Gate]]s to secure items and equipment. They can be manipulated using the [[Echo Visor]] and [[Annihilator Beam]] in tandem. Each Gate has a unique sequential lock that can be detected using the Echo Visor, and then the Beam Emitters can be activated using a sonic pulse from the Annihilator Beam in the proper order to unlock the gate. | Echo Key Beam Systems use [[Echo Key Beam Emitter]]s and [[Echo Gate]]s to secure items and equipment.

{{Main|Solar Lens}} | |||
In the [[Mining Plaza]] in [[Agon Wastes]], a sonic security system is used in conjunction with three [[Solar Lens]]es.<ref name=Lens/> The position of these lenses can be manipulated by disabling corresponding emitters in the immediate area. When the three lenses are aligned, solar power is focused so that the way to an [[Energy Tank]] is revealed. | |||
===Kinetic Orb Target=== | |||
{{Main|Kinetic Orb Target}} | |||
In the [[Temple Access (Sanctuary Fortresss|Temple Access]] in [[Sanctuary Fortress]], a single sonic security system emitter secures the position of a [[Kinetic Orb Target]].<ref name=Target/> When this emitter is disabled, the target will move away, allowing any [[Morph Ball|spherical objects]] that enter the [[Kinetic Orb Cannon]] to reach new areas. | |||
