The Echo Key Beam System is a Luminoth Sonic Security System made up of sonic interfaces that can be manipulated by the simultaneous use of the Annihilator Beam and the Echo Visor.

The main components of this system are the Echo Key Beam Emitter and the Echo Gate. The lock on the Echo Gate can be opened with a series of four consecutive focused sounds of particular pitches, and the order can be determined by shooting the Echo Gate lock with the Annihilator Beam. Each emitter is tuned to fire a blast of sound in a particular pitch and must be activated in the predetermined series to override the locks on the Echo Gate.

Components[edit | edit source]

Echo Key Beam Emitter[edit | edit source]

Echo Key Beam Emitters work by firing blasts of focused sound at an Echo Gate lock when activated by a shot from the Annihilator Beam. When the emitters are activated in the correct sequential order the Echo Gate is unlocked.

Echo Gate[edit | edit source]

The sonic security systems that protect Echo Gates are locked by a combination of four sonic locks. Shooting the Echo Gate with the Annihilator Beam plays back the combination for anyone wearing sonic detection gear, and then the emitters can be used to enter the correct sequence.
