A throwable sonic deterrent that creates a spherical zone of intolerable sound when deployed. The S-7 is a 6-centimeter rubberized sphere containing a multi-directional speaker array powered by a high-density capacitor. When armed and thrown, impact sensors activate the device on landing, generating a 155-decibel omni-directional sonic field within a three-meter radius. The sound profile cycles through twelve frequencies specifically selected to cause maximum discomfort across different hearing ranges, including frequencies that resonate painfully with common cochlear implant models.

Meridian Audio Concepts developed the S-7 as a 'drop and run' deterrent — the user throws the device at or near the threat, and the resulting wall of sound creates an impassable zone of pain while the user escapes in the opposite direction. The sphere operates for forty-five seconds before the capacitor depletes, after which the device is inert and non-recoverable. At Φ85 per unit, the S-7 is a single-use investment, but repeat customers are common enough that Meridian sells them in packs of three.

The S-7's impact on augmented individuals with cochlear implants or audio-processing cyberware is disproportionately severe — the resonance frequencies can cause feedback loops in audio hardware that result in incapacitating pain well beyond the physical sound's effect. This has led to complaints from augmented communities that the S-7 is discriminatory in its design.
